A Top-notch 8-string Axe for Serious Musicians

The Schecter C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin delivers top-shelf 8-string playability that's set for rigorous work! A contoured swamp ash body doles out stunning heavy tones with the right blend of brightness and depth. Two onboard Fishman Fluence Modern pickups invigorate playing with a premium robust spread of active humbucker tones and passive push-pull voice options. The C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin is ruthless and efficient when it comes to playability. A multi-ply maple/walnut/padauk neck empowers riffs with ease, not to mention the road-ready stability of carbon fiber reinforcement rods beneath the hood. Moreover, players are free to roam in style across the C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin's 24-fret multi-scale ebony fingerboard finished with an Ultra Access heel and a neck-thru design. Finished off with attractive black hardware, locking tuners, and a satin finish, the C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin is built to impress.

Earnest tonewoods built for access and speed

The C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin showcases remarkable build quality with captivating looks that just so happen to deliver playability and performance! A swamp ash body infuses riffs with powerful sustain and growling articulation. A smooth 24-fret ebony fingerboard is made for cooperation and seamless fretwork whether you're pounding out power chords down low or soaring up high with intricate riffs. A neck-thru design, Ultra-access heel, and compound fingerboard radius makes reaching those higher, hard-to-reach frets easier than ever. Plus, the C-8’s multi-scale fingerboard keeps intonation flawless. Eight-string playability has never felt so good!

Fishman Fluence Modern pickups

The C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin features two Fishman Fluence Modern pickups that let you harness a legion's worth of tones with just one guitar. Fluence Modern humbucking pickups pack fearsome active output. The bridge pickup's ceramic magnets instantly crush your amp's front end while neck pickup alnico V magnets offer a smoother alternative with a modern voice. What's more, Fluence Moderns pack some of the best push-pull sounds around. You can turn either pickup into a warm passive humbucker without compromise. Fishman Fluence Moderns provide more than enough tone options to satisfy your needs!

Hipshot bridge with string-thru-body design provides amazing stability

If you love the stability and ultra-fast response of a hardtail bridge, then you'll feel right at home with this C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin. Schecter didn't just grab any old bridge — they gave it a Hipshot hardtail bridge for solid intonation and great sustain. Combined with its string-thru-body design, this setup gives the C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin truly epic sustain and a raucous, lighting-quick response.

Schecter C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin 8-string Electric Guitar Features:

  • Comfortably contoured swamp ash body
  • Super-stable maple/walnut/padauk multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods
  • Neck-thru with Ultra Access provides enhanced sustain and playability
  • 24-fret ebony fingerboard with an optimized 25.5-inch to 27-inch multi-scale length
