C-6 ELITE IN AQUABURST

Description

If you’re looking for a great-sounding guitar with excellent playability and tone, but are on a tight budget, look no further than the Schecter C-6 Elite.

Equipped with Schecter Diamond Plus pickups with volume/tone/3-way switch controls and a tune-o-matic bridge, the C-6 Elite screams class and style, and all for an incredibly affordable price.

The beveled edges provide comfort and the cutaway gives complete access to all 24 extra-jumbo frets. The basswood body provides warmth, along with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard.

The Schecter C-6 Elite is a smart choice for anyone seeking a quality guitar at an entry-level price. Case sold separately.

It looks great, well made, beautiful green!

I already have an omen 6 in blue, but when I saw this in aquatic green, I wanted to get one. I never had a guitar in glossy green. I thought I would get one since my omen 6 was good. I love the craftsmanship and is well made. The action is low, but great. The tone is good and electronics is good. I would get another one in purple if they have it in that color. I hooked it with my TRIO band creator and I was jamming on my own with a bass guitar player and drummer.

Visually I'm sad but it plays good

short version- visually disappointed but it plays well. everyone working did their best to help me. long version my experience- My first guitar and I decided to pick Schecter. I picked this one because I fell in love with the green color look of it. First one arrived but it was damaged. Before it arrived I got a call saying it was damaged and if I wanted to go through with it, I did. It was beautiful but the chip made me upset. It was the last one they had in stock at the time. It took a weekish later for it to arrive and the day it arrived I noticed it was back in stock. Maybe if I can exchange it? I went to the store to check if it was really back in stock and if I could exchange it, they could. I went back home and waited for it to arrive. When it did I took it straight to the store and they helped me order a new one again. 2 days later it came, but I didn't like this one. Color is dark and the green color i liked wasn't there. The only visual part I like is the headstock. but because of the price and that it was my first guitar , I'll stick through this one. I think I just have bad luck

    This guitar sounds and looks amazing, sadly mine did come with a tiny bit of fret buzz (a little more than usual) Nothing i'm sure guitar center can't fix, i also have this guitar paired up with a 25 watt gamma amp, because i am a beginner but solid guitar when it doesn't have buzz

    Nice guitar especially for the money. As noted in previous reviews, the fret ends are razor sharp. Unless you know what you're doing you could mess up the board and the ends trying to make repairs. Pretty guitar. Would have kept it.

  • My husband had a carvin before..he loves this new guitar

    For the price, quality of pickups and beauty of its body finish; this is the ultimate guitar for anyone wanting to start soon, and advance even sooner from the jump. I am absolutely in love, and appreciative of Guitar Center Staff at Towne Square Las Vegas location for showing me to it off the bat. Rock on GC

    Big fan of Schecter! Hope to catch this on sale. Does it neck dive as did the Omen S-II? Not at all a deal breaker but I just wondered.
