Schecter S-1 Elite Double Cut 2003–2007 – Flame Top Black Cherry w/ Hard Case

No sales tax for customers outside California.

The Schecter S-1 Elite (2003–2007) in Black Cherry Flame Top is a stunning double-cut electric guitar that blends premium craftsmanship with modern versatility. Built during Schecter’s golden era of Korean production, this model has become a favorite among players who want boutique-level quality without the boutique price.

This is an unbelievably great playing guitar, especially when you consider price point!

The frets show little to no wear.  The neck is straight and there is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.  The setup is perfect.  There are just a couple of dings that show that the guitar was handled.  

The carved mahogany body paired with a flame maple top delivers rich resonance, sustain, and eye-catching aesthetics. A set 3-piece mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and abalone split-crown inlays provides smooth playability and premium detail. Equipped with Duncan Designed humbuckers, the S-1 Elite produces articulate cleans, tight rhythm tones, and soaring lead sounds, making it an excellent choice for rock, metal, and alternative players. The TonePros bridge and Schecter hardware ensure stability and tuning reliability even under heavy use.

This particular example is in excellent condition, finished in a deep Black Cherry gloss, and includes its hard shell case for safe storage and transport. For players or collectors looking for a high-quality double-cut from Schecter’s most respected era, the S-1 Elite is a standout find.

At Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, every guitar is carefully inspected, fully set up, and photographed in detail to ensure buyers shop with complete confidence.
