Schecter C1-Elite Amber Quilt Top Electric Guitar – 2005, Mint Condition with Original Case

No sales tax for customers outside California.

The Schecter C1-Elite Amber Quilt Top (2005) is a stunning example of Schecter’s premium craftsmanship, offering high-performance playability, elegant aesthetics, and mint-condition preservation. This model features a flamed maple quilt top in a rich amber finish over a mahogany body, combining visual luxury with warm, resonant tone. The set mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard delivers smooth, fast playability, while the abalone binding and inlays add boutique-level detail.

Equipped with Schecter’s high-output humbuckers, the C1-Elite is versatile enough for everything from shimmering cleans to saturated rock and metal tones. The TonePros bridge and tailpiece ensure rock-solid tuning stability, while Grover tuners provide precise adjustments. This particular guitar is in 100% original mint condition and comes with its original hard shell case, making it a perfect choice for both players and collectors.

The guitar set up perfectly with little effort.  The neck is straight and there is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.  The frets show the most minimal use.  It is a super light guitar at just 6 pounds, 11 ounces - it is super comfortable to play.
