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 with Black Burst
The C-1 FR-S Pale Moon is engineered for tracking and session work with its ultra-thin neck profile, fluid fretboard access, and responsive Floyd Rose bridge system. The swamp ash body paired with pale moon ebony top delivers a balanced, articulate voice that cuts through dense mixes while maintaining clarity on both high-gain and clean tones. Built for producers and engineers tracking precision-demanding material and requiring stable, expressive vibrato control across multiple takes.
Recording-Ready Build & Playability
The neck-through design uses a 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk laminate with an ultra-thin C profile, delivering superior sustain and harmonic response essential for layered tracking and long-form session work. A 25.5" scale with 24 stainless steel X-jumbo frets and a 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard accommodates both aggressive techniques and subtle expression without playability inconsistencies. The Richlite fingerboard maintains dimensional stability under studio lighting and climate conditions, while stainless steel frets ensure consistent intonation across recording sessions.
Pickup Configuration & Studio-Grade Hardware
The dual-pickup setup pairs a Schecter Brimstone-6 bridge pickup with a Sustainiac neck pickup, each switchable independently for real-time tonal shaping during overdubs and performance tracking. The Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo combined with Floyd Rose locking nut and TonePros M Series tuners lock in tuning across sessions, eliminating drift between takes and reducing post-production tuning compensation. Black hardware, a 41.3mm nut width, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod with spoke wheel provide dependable intonation reference and neck stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will it affect playability or tone?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, white stains on the headstock near the high E tuner and marks along the bottom edge. These are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity; the instrument carries full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The dual independent pickups (Brimstone bridge and Sustainiac neck), tight articulate tone profile, locking Floyd Rose 1500 system, and 24 stainless steel frets are purpose-built for metal, hard rock, and progressive playing, with tuning stability even during aggressive vibrato.
How does the neck profile compare to other shred guitars?
The ultra-thin C profile measures 19mm at the 1st fret and 20mm at the 12th fret, delivering fluid fretboard access and responsiveness similar to the Ibanez RG Premium and ESP LTD EC-1000 in this class. The 25.5" scale, 12"-16" compound radius, and Richlite fingerboard eliminate dead spots and support aggressive bending.
What pickups are included and can I switch between them independently?
The guitar features a Schecter Brimstone-6 bridge pickup and a Sustainiac neck pickup, each controlled by dedicated mini switches for mode selection and independent activation, giving you tonal range without swapping gear during sessions or live sets.
Will the tuning stay stable with the Floyd Rose tremolo?
Yes. The Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo combined with the Floyd Rose locking nut and TonePros M Series tuners ensures rock-solid tuning stability even during aggressive vibrato use, supported by the neck-through construction and 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk laminate for superior sustain.
