Schecter C-1 Apocalypse Electric Guitar Carbon Black B-Stock 2331
The C-1 Apocalypse captures articulate, punchy tones in the studio with its thin 'C' neck profile and compound-radius ebony fretboard lined with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access enables precise tracking of fast passages and upper-register work, while the Swamp Ash body and dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-II pickups deliver thick, articulate response across a wide dynamic range—ideal for layering rhythm and lead takes. This B-stock unit is priced to move—minor cosmetic imperfections do not affect playability or sonic performance.
Playability & Neck Design
The Maple/Padauk multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists warping and maintains tuning stability throughout extended recording sessions. At 0.787" (20mm) at the first fret and 0.866" (22mm) at the twelfth, the thin 'C' profile reduces hand fatigue during takes, and the 12"-16" compound radius fretboard balances open-string clarity with bent-note precision. Glow-in-the-dark side dot markers aid navigation when tracking in dimly lit control rooms or studios.
Hardware & Electronics
The Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru body design maximizes sustain and resonance while anchoring intonation across session overdubs. Schecter locking tuners and the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut maintain pitch stability between takes, while the dual Apocalypse-II pickups with volume (push-pull), volume, tone, and 3-way switching provide flexible tonal sculpting—from articulate single-note lines to thick, cohesive rhythm textures that sit well in dense mixes.
