Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Electric Guitar Satin Black B-Stock
Description
Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Electric Guitar Satin Black B-Stock
The C-1 SLS Custom captures clean articulation and responsive dynamics across both single-note passages and chord work, thanks to its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and compound 12"-16" radius fingerboard that maintains playability without introducing unwanted neck fatigue during long tracking sessions. The neck-thru construction with Ultra Access cutaway enables fast access to higher register parts without repositioning, while the satin black finish provides a studio-neutral aesthetic that resists fingerprints and visual distraction. This B-stock unit represents a significant value opportunity, as it carries the same specifications and craftsmanship as new stock with only cosmetic considerations.
Playability & Construction
The 25.5" scale length paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and an ebony fingerboard ensures precise intonation across multiple takes and allows session players to move fluidly between rhythm and lead parts. The maple/walnut/padauk 7-ply neck with two carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists seasonal shifts and maintains neck relief under varying humidity conditions common to recording environments, while the swamp ash body with arched top contour contributes tonal clarity and sustain that translates well to both direct recording and mic'd capture. Neck measurements at the 1st fret (0.748") and 12th fret (0.787") define a slim, modern profile that eliminates hand strain during extended overdub sessions.
Tone & Electronics
The dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups — ceramic in the bridge position and alnico in the neck — deliver tonal separation ideal for layering tracks, with push-pull coil-split and secondary humbucker voicing controls that allow rapid tonal adjustment between passes without patch cable swaps. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with Graph Tech TUSQ nut ensures consistent intonation across multiple recording takes and sustain that cuts through dense arrangements, while Schecter locking tuners provide stable tuning during aggressive playing techniques and extended sessions.

At a Glance
The Schecter C-1 SLS Custom excels in studio sessions where you need one guitar to cover metal, rock, and progressive tones without compromise. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups—ceramic bridge, alnico neck—give you articulate high-end and warm lows that sit cleanly in dense mixes, while coil-split and secondary humbucker voicing push-pulls let you sculpt tone without reaching for a second instrument. The swamp ash body with arched top and ebony fingerboard deliver natural resonance and sustain that records tight and defined.
