Description

This is a B-Stock item with a small mark on the back of the neck. 

 

Built around a basswood body with a quilted maple image top, bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, the C-6 Plus combines striking looks with a fast, familiar playing feel. A pair of Schecter Diamond Plus humbuckers delivers the power required for rock and metal while retaining enough clarity and flexibility for cleaner sounds and more general-purpose playing.

Its 25.5" scale length, Thin “C” neck profile, 14" fingerboard radius and 24 X-Jumbo frets make the C-6 Plus particularly comfortable for modern techniques, while the Tune-O-Matic string-through-body bridge keeps the hardware simple and dependable.

KEY FEATURES

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

The C-6 Plus is a strong choice for players who want a modern electric guitar without unnecessary complexity. The twin-humbucker pickup layout, fixed bridge and simple controls make it easy to understand, while the Thin “C” neck and 24 X-Jumbo frets give it considerably more performance capability than a traditional beginner guitar.

It is equally appealing as a first serious electric guitar or as an affordable second instrument for an experienced player. The fixed bridge makes tuning and string changes straightforward, while the Diamond Plus humbuckers provide enough output for heavier styles without locking the guitar into a single genre.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Schecter Diamond Plus Humbuckers

The C-6 Plus is equipped with a pair of Schecter Diamond Plus humbuckers.

These pickups provide the fuller, more powerful response that players typically want for rock, hard rock and metal, particularly when used with overdrive or high-gain amplification.

The bridge pickup provides the sharper attack and tighter response required for rhythm riffs and more aggressive lead sounds, while the neck pickup offers a warmer and rounder character for solos, melodic playing and clean tones.

A conventional three-way selector switch lets you choose the bridge pickup, both pickups together or the neck pickup.

This uncomplicated arrangement makes it easy to move between contrasting sounds while playing.

Basswood Body

The C-6 Plus uses a basswood body, a popular material for modern electric guitars because it provides a practical combination of weight, balance and tonal neutrality.

Rather than relying solely on an opaque finish, Schecter gives the C-6 Plus a decorative top treatment that adds considerably more visual character.

The result is a guitar that has the aggressive outline associated with Schecter while retaining a more sophisticated appearance than many straightforward entry-level solidbody designs.

Quilted Maple Visual Top

One of the most eye-catching features of this version is its quilted maple image top beneath the Black Cherry Burst finish.

The figuring creates additional visual depth across the front of the instrument, with the darker outer burst framing the centre of the guitar.

This gives the C-6 Plus the appearance of a considerably more expensive instrument while retaining the straightforward construction that helps keep the model accessible.

Chrome hardware provides contrast against the deeper red finish.

Flat Top with Bevelled Edge

Rather than using a fully arched body top, the C-6 Plus features a flat top with a bevelled edge.

This creates a sharper, more contemporary appearance while also helping the body sit comfortably against the player.

The familiar double-cutaway Schecter design provides good access to the upper end of the fingerboard and works comfortably whether playing seated or standing.

Thin “C” Maple Neck

A bolt-on maple neck forms the foundation of the C-6 Plus.

Schecter uses its familiar Thin “C” profile, measuring approximately 20mm at the first fret and 22mm at the twelfth.

This relatively slim shape is particularly well suited to modern guitar playing. It remains substantial enough to feel controlled in the hand while avoiding the bulk associated with many vintage-inspired neck profiles.

For players learning faster scales, lead techniques or more demanding rhythm work, the streamlined profile can make the instrument feel considerably more manageable.

Rosewood Fingerboard

The maple neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard, giving the guitar a familiar smooth playing surface and a traditional visual contrast against the maple neck.

Simple 4mm dot position markers keep the appearance clean and easy to navigate.

The understated fingerboard design also balances the much more dramatic figuring and colour of the body.

14-Inch Fingerboard Radius

The C-6 Plus uses a 14-inch fingerboard radius, considerably flatter than many traditionally styled electric guitars.

A flatter radius can be particularly useful for modern playing because it provides a more even surface for techniques such as:

Players moving from a strongly curved vintage-style fingerboard may notice the difference immediately.

24 X-Jumbo Frets

The guitar features 24 X-Jumbo frets, giving each string a full two-octave range.

This is particularly useful for modern lead guitar, where access to the highest positions can be important.

The larger fret dimensions also make bends, vibrato and legato techniques feel direct because the player's fingers need less contact with the fingerboard itself when fretting notes.

For an affordable modern electric guitar, having a full 24-fret layout gives the C-6 Plus a substantial amount of playing flexibility.

25.5-Inch Scale Length

The 25.5-inch scale length is a familiar choice for modern solidbody guitars.

It provides a useful balance between string tension, note definition and comfortable bending.

The factory .010–.046 string gauge provides a good general-purpose setup for standard tuning and many common rock applications.

Players using substantially lower tunings may prefer heavier strings and an appropriate setup to retain their preferred level of tension.

Tune-O-Matic String-Through Bridge

The C-6 Plus uses a Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body construction.

This is one of the guitar’s most practical features.

Unlike a floating tremolo system, there is no bridge balancing or locking nut to manage. String changes are straightforward, tuning changes are relatively simple and individual bridge saddles allow accurate intonation adjustment.

For a player who wants to focus on learning, rehearsing or recording rather than maintaining a complicated tremolo system, the fixed bridge is an excellent choice.

Simple and Effective Controls

The electronic layout consists of:

There are no complicated switching systems or menus to understand.

For newer players, that simplicity makes it easy to learn how pickup position and tone controls affect the sound of an electric guitar.

For experienced players, it means the controls remain quick and predictable on stage.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Schecter C-6 Plus is particularly well suited to beginners, improving players and intermediate guitarists looking for a versatile modern electric guitar.

It is a strong choice for:

Its specification is modern enough for heavier playing styles without making the guitar unnecessarily specialised.

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

Rock

The dual-humbucker configuration makes the C-6 Plus an obvious fit for rock.

Both pickups can produce the fuller sound associated with humbucking designs, while the bridge position delivers the attack needed for distorted rhythm parts.

Metal

The Diamond Plus humbuckers are well suited to higher-gain amplification, allowing the C-6 Plus to handle heavier riffing convincingly.

Its 25.5" scale and fixed bridge also provide a controlled feel for palm-muted rhythm playing.

Lead Guitar

A Thin “C” neck, 14" radius and 24 X-Jumbo frets make the C-6 Plus surprisingly capable as a lead instrument.

Players developing techniques such as bends, tapping, legato and faster scale runs have a modern playing platform that will not quickly become restrictive.

Cleaner Sounds

Despite the guitar’s aggressive appearance, it does not have to be played through heavy distortion.

Using the neck pickup or both pickups together with a clean amplifier can produce useful sounds for chord work, arpeggios and more restrained playing.

Home Recording

The simple HH pickup arrangement makes the C-6 Plus easy to use with modelling amplifiers, recording interfaces and software amp systems.

It is particularly useful for players who want one affordable guitar that can cover both clean and distorted recording duties.

HOW IT COMPARES

Versus the Schecter C-6 Deluxe

The C-6 Plus builds on the accessible C-6 concept with a more decorative top treatment.

Players who mainly care about function may find the Deluxe sufficient, while the Plus is especially attractive to anyone who wants a more premium visual appearance without moving substantially further up the Schecter range.

Versus a Traditional S-Style Guitar

A conventional three-single-coil guitar will generally provide brighter, thinner and more traditional clean tones.

The C-6 Plus instead uses two humbuckers, producing a fuller and more powerful response that is particularly well suited to distortion.

For rock and metal players, the Schecter layout is often the more natural starting point.

Versus a Floyd Rose-Equipped Guitar

The C-6 Plus does not have a locking tremolo.

That means it cannot reproduce dramatic dive-bombs and other Floyd Rose effects, but it is substantially easier to maintain.

If you regularly change tunings or simply do not use a tremolo arm, the fixed Tune-O-Matic arrangement can be the more practical choice.

Versus a More Expensive Schecter

Higher-end Schecter guitars can introduce upgraded pickups, more elaborate neck construction, locking tuners, stainless steel frets and other premium hardware.

The C-6 Plus concentrates instead on the fundamental elements that make a guitar enjoyable to play: a comfortable neck, two capable humbuckers, 24 frets and reliable fixed-bridge hardware.

That makes it particularly appealing as an entry point into the Schecter range.

🎵 FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Beginners through to intermediate players who want a modern twin-humbucker electric guitar with fast playability, straightforward hardware and rock/metal-friendly tones.

Customers usually upgrade from: Entry-level starter guitars where improved fret access, a more comfortable neck, stronger humbucker tones and better overall playability are becoming priorities.

Most commonly paired with: Modelling amplifiers, rock and metal guitar amps, overdrive/distortion pedals, clip-on tuners and a suitable gig bag or hardcase.

Our tip: The fixed Tune-O-Matic bridge is one of the C-6 Plus's biggest advantages for newer players. You get a modern 24-fret Schecter without having to learn how to maintain a floating tremolo system, making string changes and alternate tunings much easier.

Showroom feedback: The C-6 Plus is a particularly useful stepping stone between a basic starter guitar and a more specialised performance instrument. Its Thin “C” neck and twin-humbucker layout make it immediately approachable while still providing enough capability for players to progress significantly.
