Schecter C-8 Deluxe 8-String Left Handed Electric Guitar - Satin Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Schecter C-8 Deluxe 8-String Left Handed electric guitar makes extended-range playing accessible and affordable in a sleek Satin Black finish. This basswood solidbody features a reinforced bolt-on maple neck with 28-inch scale length and dual Schecter Diamond Plus humbucking pickups specifically voiced for eight-string applications. Designed for left-handed players exploring modern metal, progressive rock, and experimental genres, the C-8 Deluxe delivers professional-quality construction and versatile tones at an entry-level price point.

Product Overview

The C-8 Deluxe showcases a contoured basswood body with flat top and beveled edges, finished in understated Satin Black. Basswood provides balanced tonal warmth and even frequency response crucial for managing the extended low-end of eight-string guitars. Weighing just 6.67 pounds, this lightweight construction ensures comfort during extended playing sessions while maintaining the mass necessary for sustain and resonance across all eight strings.

The heavily reinforced bolt-on maple neck features a thin C profile designed to accommodate the wider 2.12-inch nut width without feeling bulky. The 28-inch scale length provides optimal string tension for the lower tuned strings, maintaining clarity and definition in the extended bass register. A rosewood fretboard with flatter 16-inch radius hosts 24 narrow X-Jumbo frets and 4mm dot inlays, creating a playing surface that facilitates both complex chording and fast single-note runs across the extended range.

Schecter Diamond Plus humbucking pickups are specifically designed to handle the extended frequency range of eight-string guitars. These high-output pickups deliver tight, articulate bass response from the lower strings while maintaining clarity and punch in the upper register. Simple volume and tone controls paired with a 3-way selector provide intuitive tone shaping, while the tune-o-matic bridge with string-through-body design maximizes sustain and ensures precise intonation across all eight strings.

Ideal For

• Progressive metal and djent guitarists exploring extended-range voicings
• Left-handed players seeking affordable entry into eight-string guitars at Idaho Falls guitar stores
• Experimental musicians requiring extended low-end for ambient and heavy music applications
• Intermediate guitarists transitioning from six or seven-string instruments
• Studio players who need versatile extended-range capabilities for modern metal and rock productions

Key Features

Extended 28-Inch Scale Length

The 28-inch scale provides optimal string tension for proper intonation and clarity in the extended bass register. This longer scale length prevents the lower strings from becoming flabby or undefined, maintaining tight articulation even in drop tunings. The scale supports the guitar's ability to deliver punchy, focused tones across all eight strings.

Reinforced Maple Neck with Thin C Profile

The heavily reinforced bolt-on maple neck withstands the increased tension of eight strings while maintaining stability. The thin C profile keeps the neck comfortable despite the wider 2.12-inch nut width, allowing smooth movement across all positions. Maple's bright tonal characteristics complement the basswood body's warmth, creating balanced frequency response across the extended range.

16-Inch Radius Rosewood Fretboard

The flatter 16-inch radius fretboard accommodates the wider string spacing of eight-string guitars while facilitating fast lead playing and complex chord voicings. Twenty-four narrow X-Jumbo frets provide excellent playability with reduced finger pressure for bending and vibrato. The naturally oily rosewood surface offers smooth feel while absorbing harsh overtones for fundamentally richer tone.

Schecter Diamond Plus Eight-String Pickup System

These purpose-designed humbuckers handle the extended frequency range with tight bass response and clear treble articulation. Over-wound coils with ceramic magnets deliver high output perfect for modern metal and progressive rock applications. Both pickups maintain clarity and definition even with heavily distorted tones, preventing the muddy low-end common in lesser eight-string guitars.

String-Through-Body Bridge Construction

The tune-o-matic bridge paired with string-through-body loading maximizes sustain and string tension, crucial for maintaining clarity across eight strings. This proven design ensures precise intonation adjustment for each string independently. Chrome hardware throughout provides durability and classic aesthetics, while the graphite nut reduces friction for smooth tuning stability across the extended range.
