Schecter positioned the C-8 Deluxe (item 440) as an eight-string entry in its C-series line, built on a bolt-on construction with a basswood body featuring a flat top with bevel edge. The guitar was finished in Satin Black and manufactured in Indonesia.
The maple neck carries a Thin 'C' profile, measuring .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth, and is fitted with a rosewood fretboard at a 16" (406mm) radius. Twenty-four narrow extra-jumbo frets run the 28" (711mm) baritone-extended scale, capped by a 2.125" (54mm) graphite nut — a width that reflects the eight-string string spread. A 2-way adjustable truss rod is accessed via a 5/32" (4mm) Allen nut. The bridge is a tune-o-matic with string-through-body anchoring, finished in chrome along with the remaining hardware. Both pickup positions use Schecter Diamond Plus humbuckers, controlled by a volume, tone, and 3-way switch on metal knurled knobs secured with set screws. Schecter-branded tuners complete the hardware complement. Inlays are 4mm dots.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the tune-o-matic bridge follows standard tune-o-matic dimensions, and the graphite nut is sized to the 2.125" width specific to this eight-string configuration — verify measurements carefully before ordering substitutes. A qualified guitar technician can assist with truss rod adjustment, fret work, and setup to the 28" scale's particular string-tension requirements.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
