Description
Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and an ebony fretboard give the C-1 Apocalypse a punchy, articulate voice with tight lows and crisp high-end definition, while the set-neck build and string-thru Hipshot hardtail add sustain and a solid, focused attack. The dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-II humbuckers push thick, high-output rhythm tones and cut cleanly for leads, with the push-pull volume and 3-way switch opening up brighter, thinner voicings when you need them. The 25.5" scale, thin 'C' neck, and 12"-16" compound radius suit fast metal and hard rock playing, extended-range lead work, and drop tunings that need string clarity.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-stock mean?
B-stock means this guitar is fully functional with no sonic or playability compromises—it carries only minor cosmetic imperfections. You receive full manufacturer warranty coverage and the same high-output performance as a new unit at a significant discount.
Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and extended-range playing?
Yes. The 25.5" scale, carbon fiber-reinforced neck, and Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru design ensure rock-solid tuning stability under aggressive playing and drop tunings. The thin 'C' profile and Ultra Access upper-fret design make extended runs and complex voicings feel natural across all frets.
What pickup configuration does it have?
The C-1 Apocalypse features dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-II pickups in bridge and neck positions, delivering thick, articulate tones with excellent dynamic range and sustain. Independent volume (push-pull), volume, tone, and 3-way pickup selector controls provide flexible tonal sculpting for both leads and rhythm work.
How does the neck feel, and is it stable?
The thin 'C' profile (0.787" at 1st fret, 0.866" at 12th fret) sits naturally in the hand and supports fast, comfortable playing. The Maple/Padauk multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists warping and maintains stable tuning, while the 12"–16" compound-radius ebony fretboard balances open-string playability with precise bent-note control.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best for?
The C-1 Apocalypse excels in metal, hard rock, progressive, and drop-tuning applications. Its high-output pickups, articulate tone, and aggressive playability make it less suited for folk or jazz styles.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
