Description
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 captures articulate, high-definition tones across a wide dynamic range, making it an excellent choice for home studio tracking and layered production work. The neck-through construction and responsive Floyd Rose bridge system deliver consistent sustain and precise intonation control—critical for recording multiple takes and punch-ins without tonal drift. The swamp ash body paired with pale moon ebony creates a sonically balanced instrument with natural resonance that records cleanly and sits well in dense mixes.
Recording & Session Performance
The neck-through design uses a 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk laminate with an ultra-thin C profile, translating to superior sustain and harmonic clarity across the entire range—essential for capturing detail on lead lines and complex chord voicings. A 25.5" scale with 24 stainless steel X-jumbo frets and a 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard ensure consistent playability across multiple recording sessions without fatigue, while minimizing intonation variance on sustained notes. The Richlite fingerboard resists moisture changes that can affect intonation stability during long studio days, and stainless steel frets maintain their playing surface for years of reliable tracking.
Tone Shaping & Studio 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 mode selection and activation—enabling fast tonal pivots between rhythm and lead recording passes. The Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo combined with Floyd Rose locking nut and TonePros M Series tuners maintain rock-solid tuning stability throughout extended tracking sessions, eliminating the need for constant retuning between takes. Black hardware, a 41.3mm nut width, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod with spoke wheel provide professional-grade stability and straightforward setup adjustments in the studio environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this guitar suitable for metal and djent?
The Brimstone-6 bridge pickup delivers high output with tight, articulate highs and a controlled low end—hallmarks of modern metal and djent tones. Independent mini switches let you blend or switch pickups mid-session, and the Floyd Rose 1500 with locking nut guarantees tuning stability through aggressive tremolo use and downtuning.
How does the neck design help with extended techniques?
The ultra-thin C-profile neck paired with a 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard eliminates dead spots and makes tapping, fast position shifts, and aggressive bending fluid and comfortable. The 24 stainless steel X-jumbo frets and neck-through construction maximize sustain and responsiveness across the entire range.
Is this guitar good for players who play down-tuned or extended-range styles?
Yes; the 25.5" scale, stainless steel frets, and Richlite fingerboard handle downtuning without floppy response or intonation drift. The neck-through 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk laminate provides superior sustain and structural stability for aggressive, low-end-heavy playing.
What is included with the guitar?
The guitar ships with the Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo, locking nut, TonePros M Series tuners, and both pickups (Brimstone-6 and Sustainiac) with independent controls already installed and ready to play.
How does tuning stability work with the Floyd Rose system?
The Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo combined with a Floyd Rose locking nut locks the strings at the headstock and bridge, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability even during aggressive vibrato, divebombs, or extreme bending.
