The Schecter C-8 Multiscale is a purpose-built eight-string designed for players who demand extended range without compromise on ergonomics or sustain. The neck-through construction and carefully balanced multiscale geometry keep all eight strings responsive and comfortable under the fingers, even during extended sessions. Finished in Satin Dark Roast, this instrument combines professional-grade hardware and electronics with thoughtful body contours that prioritize access across the full fingerboard.
Playability & ConstructionThe mahogany 3-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods provides the stability needed to handle eight strings without flex, while the 24 jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with 20" radius allow smooth, expressive playing across the entire range. The multiscale design spans 27" on the low strings to 25.5" on the high strings, maintaining consistent tension and intonation while the comfortable "C"-shaped profile minimizes fatigue. Ultra Access body contours, the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 2.12" width, and Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners ensure reliable setup and tuning stability even under extended-range tuning demands.
Tone & ElectronicsThe paired Schecter Diamond '78 Rob Scallon pickups—a special bridge model and neck version—deliver articulate, responsive tone with clear separation across all eight strings and controlled output. A Volume/Tone push-pull knob with 3-way pickup selector provides straightforward voice control, while the Hipshot Hardtail string-thru-body bridge maximizes string vibration transfer to the body for enhanced sustain and resonance.
Key FeaturesThis eight-string delivers the extended range, hardware quality, and tonal clarity that serious extended-range players demand.
