Schecter C-1 FR-S Apocalypse Lefty Guitar Red Reign
The C-1 FR-S Apocalypse is engineered for tracking and performance with a thin 'C' neck profile and arched swamp ash body contoured for seamless upper-fret access during recording sessions. The left-handed configuration provides immediate playability for southpaw engineers and musicians capturing professional-grade tones with active electronics and precision hardware. Red Reign gloss finish with satin black hardware delivers striking visual clarity in studio photos while supporting the guitar's high-output recording character.
Tracking & Construction
The deep insert joint with ultra access neck joint eliminates recording dead zones during fretboard tracking, while the 25.5" scale maintains stable tuning across long session takes and consistent string tension for predictable recording tones. Maple/Padauk multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists thermal and humidity shifts in the studio environment, paired with an ebony fretboard and 24 x-jumbo stainless steel frets for articulate note definition and extended high-fret recording work.
Electronics & Studio Versatility
The Schecter USA Apocalypse bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup combine to deliver flexible tone-shaping for tracking—including dedicated controls with a 2-way on-off Sustainiac switch and 3-way Sustainiac mode switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic)—covering everything from dense rhythm layers to infinite sustain textures for post-production. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut with 1.625" nut width ensure pitch stability across multiple takes and wide tonal range for mixing flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock players?
Yes. The high-output bridge pickup, Sustainiac neck pickup with three switching modes (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic), and x-jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard are purpose-built for aggressive playing, extended lead work, and the articulation metal and hard rock demand.
What makes the left-handed configuration different from a standard right-handed model?
This guitar is fully built for left-handed players, with all hardware, pickups, controls, and the Floyd Rose bridge mirrored to deliver the same playability, tone, and professional construction as the right-handed version.
How does the Sustainiac pickup work, and what is it for?
The Sustainiac neck pickup is activated via a 2-way on-off switch and 3-way mode selector (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic), allowing you to sustain notes indefinitely or blend harmonic textures into your tone—useful for leads, atmospheric passages, and experimental soundscaping.
What is the neck profile, and is it comfortable for extended playing?
The thin 'C' profile (.787" at the 1st fret, .866" at the 12th fret) is designed for speed and comfort, with a deep insert joint and ultra-access neck joint that make reaching upper frets effortless for extended lead work and studio sessions.
Does the Floyd Rose bridge hold tuning during heavy use?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge paired with a matching nut, carbon-fiber-reinforced neck, and Grover tuners delivers precision tuning stability and sustain across studio and live settings, even during aggressive playing or extended note bending.
