Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 1946
Description
Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 1946
The ultra-thin neck profile on this Schecter C-1 SLS Custom captures fast, articulate tracking in the studio with its 0.748" first-fret thickness, supporting clean takes across rhythmic patterns and lead overdubs. The neck-thru construction generates superior sustain and body resonance—essential for layered recordings—while the Ultra Access design streamlines tracking sessions that demand upper-fret precision. This B-Stock unit is unplayed and in excellent condition—minor cosmetic marks on the finish reflect dealer inventory status, not playability or structural integrity.
Build & Recording Stability
The Maple/Walnut/Padauk 7-Ply neck with two carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists warping and maintains setup consistency across tracking sessions and temperature-controlled environments. Combined with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, a 12"-16" compound radius fretboard, and Schecter locking tuners, this guitar stays in pitch between multiple takes and supports aggressive bending without fret noise. The Graphtech Black Tusq XL nut and Hipshot hardtail bridge anchor everything in place for reliable tuning stability across full sessions.
Tone & Recording Versatility
The dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups—ceramic in the bridge for aggressive, high-output rhythm tones and alnico in the neck for warm, articulate lead response—deliver exceptional clarity and dynamic range that translates precisely to recording interfaces. Push-pull controls enable coil-splitting and secondary humbucker voicing, expanding your sonic palette within a single session. The swamp ash body contributes a resonant, balanced character that cuts through in any mix and records with natural definition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will cosmetic marks affect playability?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and unplayed, with only minor cosmetic marks on the satin black finish from dealer inventory handling. These marks have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this neck profile suitable for both rhythm and lead playing?
Yes. The ultra-thin 0.748" first-fret and 0.787" 12th-fret profile suits aggressive rhythm work and fast lead passages equally well. The 12"-16" compound radius fretboard balances smooth bending with precise intonation across the neck.

Yes. The push-pull controls on both Master Volume and Master Tone enable coil-splitting and secondary humbucker voicing, giving you multiple tonal options in one instrument without repatching or hardware changes.
How stable will this guitar stay tuned during touring or temperature changes?
The neck-thru construction with two carbon fiber reinforcement rods, Hipshot hardtail bridge, Schecter locking tuners, and Graphtech Black Tusq XL nut are all engineered for precise intonation and tuning stability across road conditions and temperature swings.
What genres does this guitar work best for?
It excels in metal, hard rock, and progressive music where its high-output bridge pickup and aggressive tone cut through dense mixes. The warm, articulate neck pickup and coil-split options also work for studio sessions and genre-versatile recording.
