Thank you for viewing. This is a Schecter Guitar Research C-8 Deluxe. *The hard case is for photography purposes only. The body only is included. This is an 8-string guitar from the Schecter series. There are no major scratches, and it is in relatively good condition. Due to the matte black finish, there is some shine in areas where hands touch. Frets: Approximately 85% remaining Electronics: No problems Truss rod: Plenty of room left and right Neck: Almost straight This is ideal for a first 8-string guitar. It is set up with relatively low action, so there may be some buzzing during aggressive playing, but as it's an 8-string guitar, adjustments and fret leveling may be necessary. It's a very cool guitar with a matte black finish. Highly recommended. Regarding the pickups, the original ones lacked power, so I replaced them with high-output Alnico pickups from Amazon. See image 15. As a result, the heavy low-end of the 8th string is easier to produce than usual. Thank you.
