Schecter C-1 SLS Hollywood guitar in Supernova
Description
Schecter C-1 SLS Hollywood in Supernova
The C-1 SLS Hollywood is engineered for the recording studio with its neck-through construction and ultra-thin "C" profile, delivering the comfort and stability needed during long tracking sessions. The Supernova flip-flop finish creates striking visual character that shifts between contrasting colors depending on camera angle and lighting—a bonus for visual content. This is a modern high-output instrument built for producers seeking versatile electronic control and refined tonal shaping for layering, overdubs, and mix-ready performances.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The neck-through design with carbon fiber reinforcement rods provides exceptional stability and sustain—critical for maintaining consistent tone across multiple takes. The 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk construction keeps weight minimal for extended session work. Neck dimensions of 19mm at the 1st fret and 20mm at the 12th fret support fast, precise playing across all positions, while the ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and 12-16" compound radius accommodates both bending techniques and low-action setups without fret noise compromising your takes.
Tone Capture & Studio Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern pickups (ceramic bridge, alnico neck) respond dynamically across the frequency spectrum, with bridge output delivering aggression for heavy rhythm layers and the neck voiced for clarity and articulation in chord and lead voicings. Master volume includes a push/pull control for Fluence voice switching, while the master tone knob features Fishman reactive tone shaping and a push/pull phase inverter, giving you extensive tonal flexibility for tracking multiple guitar parts without re-amping or external processing.
