What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Fishman Fluence Modern pickups Ceramic bridge humbucker; Alnico neck humbucker
Ultra Thin C-shape neck Very thin profile, fast and easy to navigate
Stainless steel frets Increased strength and material integrity
Ebony fretboard Dark color, tight grain; premium fretboard wood

The C-8 MS SLS Elite Evil Twin has looks that kill, and with its satin black top and rusty grey back and side finish it's sure to turn heads and steal the show! The 25.5" - 27" multiscale neck is constructed from 7-ply Maple/Walnut/Padauk and has been shaped to an ultra-thin "C" profile and is reinforced with carbon fiber rods for extra stability.

Employing neck-thru construction, it's coupled to a swamp ash body with ivory binding and the neck joint is specially contoured to allow easy access to the upper frets. Its 20" radius ebony fingerboard is outfitted with 24 stainless steel extra-jumbo frets that facilitate effortless string bending. This monster machine is built for speed and comfort and will take you to the upper limits of shred!

The C-8 MS SLS Elite Evil Twin boasts a full range of tonal possibilities, courtesy of a calibrated set of Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, push-pull master volume and master tone controls, and a pickup lever.

Rounding out the black hardware, the Schecter locking tuners, a graphite nut, and a Hipshot multiscale bridge provide an ultra-stable platform that will stabilize tuning and can withstand anything you can dish out.

Optional SGR-1C Case sold separately.

Thanks to zZounds, and everyone that works there from the call center to the wearhouse for the high level of professionalism. Without a doubt the Schecter c8 SLS elite evil twin checks all the boxes the quality and craftsmanship is top shelf. Pictures really don't do it justice. The high level of hardware on this guitar ( Schecter locking turners, tusk graph nut, stainless steel frets ,multi-scale, hip shot bridge, and fishman modern pickups. ) helps lend its hand to play like butter and boy does it ever. The neck is super thin but extremely easy to navigate the fretboard. I Love this guitar ( not just saying it because I am in the hunny mood phase) I am totally impressed best 8 string I have ever played ( I have personally tried a lot of them) if you're looking for a quality 8 string look no further seriously!!
