DISC Schecter C-8 MS Silver Mountain, Blood Moon Overview
Get low. Extend your range for the ultimate in raw riffage. The Schecter C-8 MS Silver Mountain features the very latest in multi-scale technology, for bruising baritone blasts that retain pinpoint tuning accuracy. The revolutionary 'fanned frets' also allow maximum comfort when stretching across the eight strings. This is aided by the lightning-quick, ebony fingerboard, and thin C-shaped, mahogany neck, which is carbon fibre-reinforced for maximum tuning stability in all humidity conditions.
Get monumental metal tone across the board from Schecter's Sonic Seducer humbuckers, which provide grunt by the gallon, or use the coil-tap switch for slick, single-coil soloing and crystal clean cleans. They partner with the Silver Mountain's set-neck construction and strung-through body for near-infinite sustain. With a blistering output, and Schecter's 'Ultra Access' neck joint, the C-8 MS Silver Mountain is part lock-pick, part battering ram, all metal.

View Full DescriptionMulti-scale perfection
There's method in the madness. The multi-scale fretboard is a step above the rest – it redefines playability and intonation for extended range instruments. With slanted, or 'fanned', fret guitars, the nut, bridge and pickups are slanted too, giving the lower strings a longer scale length than the upper register, which ensures correct string tension and unbeatable sustain. The multi-scale frets themselves correct for this difference, so that every fret still corresponds to exactly one semitone.
Naturally fitting to the slant of your wrist to ensure maximum comfort when playing, this also adds extra definition to the tone of the low strings, whilst making the treble strings brighter and clearer. The result is unbelievable playability combined with a superbly tight sound. With this technology, you can master your guitar playing like never before..
Sonic seduction
Power and precision. In these days of active pickup technology, it's reassuring to know that the humble passive humbucker still has its place within the sound of heavy rock. And with this pair of USA Sonic Seducers, what a sound it is. Chunky power chords and driving djent single notes simply explode from the Silver Mountain's bridge humbucker, while its neck position partner provides that extra-smooth scoop that's perfect for liquid lead playing.
But this pickup set is no one-trick pony. Engage the push-pull tone knob, and the coil-tap function reduces each pickup's output for a more classic timbre, dripping with character. Responsive and resonant, this Schecter-made pickup set is a perfect match for a guitar aimed squarely at the modern metalhead.
Ultra-playable, ultra-fast, 'Ultra-access'
A need for speed. Schecter knows that for today's heavy guitarists, impeccable tone is not enough. So, alongside the revolutionary multi-scale fret layout, the rest of the Silver Mountain's construction is also designed with playability solely in mind. From the thin, double-cutaway body shape, to the clever, 'Ultra-access' neck joint, every one of the 24 X-Jumbo frets are within easy reach. And with a shallow, 20" radius, the ebony fingerboard is flat and fast, lending itself perfectly to full-throttle fretting.
