Graph Tech Guitar Labs, the world’s largest guitar nut and saddle manufacturer is now supplying Schecter guitars with the innovative ghost® ResoMax™ bridge for the C-1E/A guitar. The ghost ResoMax bridge is a Tune-O-Matic bridge that delivers rich, authentic acoustic tone from your electric guitar with rapid, accurate tracking and perfect string to string balance. Graph Tech's String Saver™ technology dramatically reduces string breakage and increases harmonic content. The bridge base is made from a high strength, light weight alloy designed to maximize harmonic content. More harmonics means more richness and sizzle in every note you play.

“When it came to faithfully reproducing the tonal characteristics of an acoustic guitar on the Schecter C-1/EA, the clear choice was the Graph Tech ghost ResoMax bridge, there simply is no other bridge on the market that compares in quality and more importantly, sound” says Derek Carlson, Director of Sourcing and OEM Operations for Schecter.

By strategically encapsulating custom-engineered ghost pick-ups in a set of Graph Tech's patented String Saver™ saddles the pick-ups use a natural compression; you can play as hard as you want without overloading the input channel or experiencing the dreaded piezo "quack". You also get the added benefit of longer string life, and the full bodied tone of the Graph Tech String Saver saddles.

The Acousti-Phonic Modular Pre-amp captures the natural acoustics of your electric guitar, which can then be amplified or recorded direct, without feedback or mic placement problems associated with a live or studio amplified acoustic guitar. The tone is warm, full-bodied and features automatic switching for mono or stereo applications.

“Schecter Guitars is a true innovator in cutting edge guitar design, playability and tone, and we are pleased to be able to help them keep their innovative edge with the ghost pickup system” says Dave Dunwoodie President of Graph Tech Guitar Labs. “Not only can a Schecter guitar now switch between electric and acoustic or a blend of both, but they can also run the acoustic signal through the regular amp for some very heavy guitar tones, the ghost pickups frequency range goes down a lot lower than magnetic pickups”
