Description

Schecter positioned the C-8 Deluxe as an eight-string entry in the C-series line, built on a bolt-on construction with a basswood body featuring a flat top with bevel edge. It was manufactured in Indonesia and finished in Satin White.

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. The 28" (711mm) scale accommodates the extended eight-string range, and the 2.125" (54mm) graphite nut spans accordingly. Twenty-four narrow X-jumbo frets are marked with 4mm dot inlays. A two-way adjustable truss rod is accessed via a 5/32" (4mm) Allen nut. Hardware is chrome throughout: a Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Schecter tuners, and metal knurled knobs with set screws. Both bridge and neck positions carry Schecter Diamond Plus pickups, routed through a Volume/Tone/3-Way Switch control layout.

Owners requiring setup adjustments, fret work, or help sourcing compatible parts for the Tune-O-Matic bridge or string-through ferrules should consult a qualified guitar technician.

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.

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.
