Schecter C-6 FR PRO, Aurora Burst

Full Description

Ideal neck for shredding

Fly up and down the fretboard. You're unlikely to find a faster-playing neck than the ultra-slim, "C" shaped one on the C-6. The slender profile allows you to hurtle from bottom to top in the blink of an eye, perfect for electrifying, intoxicating shredding and solos. The "C" shape means your hand will sit comfortably anywhere along the neck, meaning you can play on long into the night without worry of cramp. The perfect accomplice to send audiences into frenzy.

Hit every note with jumbo frets

The definitive aid for pinpoint playing precision. The C-6 Pro's jumbo-sized frets give you more room to manoeuvre in your playing. You're certain to hit every note no matter how blisteringly fast your shredding is. While you're at it, every note will sound raw and vicious thanks to a hard, sleek wenge fretboard. Despite being incredibly smooth and slick to the touch, wenge is one of the more open-grained fretboard woods, which means it delivers unparalleled bite and ferocity in every single note. Capture monstrous sound.

Unparalleled Schecter sound engineering

Supreme clarity. Schecter know a thing or two about sound quality. They started out making world-renowned pickups long before they started applying their excellent technology to produce their own guitars. The company are experts at getting the absolute best sonic delivery out of their instruments. The C-6 is testament to this.

Schecter Diamond Decimator pickups, usually used on models that cost a lot more, are perfect metal guitar pickups for providing lots of gain and attack. They maintain a beautiful clarity of sound and keep feedback to a minimum, meaning the audience only hears exactly what you intend them to. The Cure, Avenged Sevenfold, and Black Veil Brides have all turned to Schecter to provide top-notch hard-rock sound quality. Make sure you do the same.

Solid and built to last

Metal isn't about being careful or taking it easy. Any half-decent metal guitarist knows that you need to feel free to thrash and romp about to deliver a hell-raising performance and send your audience wild. Carbon fibre reinforcement rods running through the neck of the guitar make it incredibly strong and durable. Feel liberated to give your instrument as much of beating as you need to to produce the sound you crave. The reinforcement rods are also of great benefit to touring musicians, as they ensure continued stability when travelling to different climates.

Outstanding style

Sensationally striking. With the Schecter C-6 Pro, you'll always stand out from the crowd. A simply stunning burl top, usually more the kind of wood you'd see on a custom-made instrument, creates a magnificent marbelled aesthetic. The aurora burst finish is extremely distinctive, and makes the body of your guitar look like a sublime explosion of colour and dynamism. Metal guitars aren't usually associated with beauty. The C-6 could change the preconception.

Tremolo with complete control

Experiment with ease and freedom. Welcome trembling, quivering tremolo effects into your playing thanks to the C-6 FR Pro's Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo bridge - exclusive to Schecter.

Transform your pitch to create powerful, invigorating screeches. The whammy bar lets your guitar moan and wail to give your playing a hair-raising edge. The FR's double-locking bridge means that no matter how much you use your tremolo, your strings will be locked in tune. Be as liberal as you like with the tremolo without ever worrying about dropping out of tune.
