Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body and neck-through maple/walnut/padauk laminate give this C-1 a tight, articulate low end and long sustain, while the 25.5" scale keeps drop tunings and fast riffing clear and defined. The Brimstone-6 bridge pickup pushes high-output crunch and lead tones suited to metal, hard rock and modern progressive playing, and the Sustainiac neck pickup adds infinite sustain and harmonic modes for soaring, feedback-style leads and ambient textures. With a Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo, locking nut and stainless X-jumbo frets over a 12"-16" compound radius, it handles aggressive dive bombs, wide bends and shred phrasing while holding pitch.
Schecter C-1 FR-S Pale Moon Natural Satin with Black Burst B-Stock
The C-1 FR-S Pale Moon captures aggressive tones with an ultra-thin neck profile, fluid fretboard access, and a rock-solid Floyd Rose bridge system—engineered for studio tracking and layered production where precision, tuning stability, and tonal consistency matter. The swamp ash body topped with pale moon ebony delivers striking visual contrast while the neck-through construction ensures superior sustain and harmonic resonance across the entire range, translating to clarity in the mix. This B-Stock unit carries only minor cosmetic marks with zero impact on playability or tone, backed by full manufacturer warranty.
Playability & Tone Capture
The neck-through design uses a 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk laminate with an ultra-thin C profile measuring 19mm at the 1st fret and 20mm at the 12th fret, enabling fast session work and complex articulation without hand fatigue. A 25.5" scale paired with 24 stainless steel X-jumbo frets and a 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard supports clean tracking whether recording power chords, lead lines, or harmonic effects. The Richlite fingerboard resists moisture and wear, maintaining consistent playability and intonation across multi-day recording sessions.
Electronics & Tracking Versatility
The dual-pickup configuration pairs a Schecter Brimstone-6 bridge pickup with a Sustainiac neck pickup, each controlled independently with dedicated mini switches for rapid tonal switching between rhythm layers and lead passes without re-miking. The Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo combined with Floyd Rose locking nut and TonePros M Series tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability through extended takes and creative vibrato effects. Black hardware throughout, a 41.3mm nut width, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod with spoke wheel complete a professional-grade setup built for dependable studio sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and how does it affect the guitar?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, tape marks inside the upper horn, light scratches on the back, and white marks on the body. These marks have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. The guitar comes with full manufacturer warranty and is discounted for cosmetic reasons only.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The C-1 FR-S is purpose-built for hard rock, metal, and progressive music. The dual Schecter Brimstone-6 and Sustainiac pickups deliver high output with articulate highs and a tight, sustained low end; the ultra-thin neck and 24 X-jumbo frets enable fast, aggressive playing; and the Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo holds tuning through extreme vibrato work.
What is the neck profile, and who does it suit?
The neck features an ultra-thin C profile measuring 19mm at the 1st fret and 20mm at the 12th fret, paired with a 25.5" scale and 24 X-jumbo frets on a 12"-16" compound radius. This profile is optimized for speed, bending, and chord work without dead spots—ideal for intermediate to advanced and professional players tackling technical material.
How does the Floyd Rose system work, and is it live-proof?
The Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo paired with a Floyd Rose locking nut and TonePros M Series tuners ensures rock-solid tuning stability even during aggressive vibrato use. This combination is battle-tested for live reliability and frequent touring, holding pitch through demanding stage work.
Can I switch between the bridge and neck pickups?
Yes. The Schecter Brimstone-6 bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup are controlled independently with dedicated mini switches for mode selection, allowing you to dial in different tones on the fly without relying on volume blending alone.
