Description
Sound & Tone
The Swamp Ash body with Pale Moon Ebony top and neck-through, multi-ply Maple/Walnut/Padauk construction lends a tight, resonant voice with firm low end and long sustain, while the 25.5" scale keeps string tension taut and note definition clear under high gain. The Schecter Brimstone-6 bridge pickup brings articulate, cutting highs for rhythm chugging and lead runs, and the Sustainiac neck unit adds controllable infinite sustain and harmonic feedback for soaring, singing lines. With a Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo, locking nut, stainless X-Jumbo frets and an ultra-thin neck, it's aimed squarely at modern metal, progressive rock and shred players who lean on dive bombs, tapping and fast legato phrasing.
Schecter C-1 FR-S Pale Moon LH Guitar in Natural Satin with Black Burst
This left-handed C-1 FR-S Pale Moon captures fast, articulate performances with its ultra-thin neck profile and neck-through construction. The Pale Moon Ebony top over Swamp Ash body paired with the Natural Satin with Black Burst finish creates a visually distinctive instrument engineered for tracking sessions and studio overdubs where speed, precision, and tonal clarity matter.
Tracking Performance & Build
The neck-thru design with Ultra Access and ultra-thin "C" profile (19mm at the 1st fret, 20mm at the 12th) enables seamless tracking of high-register lines and rapid session work. A 7-piece Maple/Walnut/Padauk neck provides structural rigidity and focused tonal definition in the mix, while 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on a 12"-16" compound radius Richlite fretboard deliver consistent intonation and durable playability across the full range.
Pickup Configuration & Stability
The Schecter Brimstone-6 bridge pickup paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup offers defined articulation for rhythm tracking and harmonic sustain for lead layers, controlled via volume, tone, 3-way pickup selector, and dual Sustainiac mini switches. A Floyd Rose 1500 Locking Tremolo with Floyd Rose locking nut maintains tuning stability through dynamic recording sessions, supported by TonePros "M Series" tuners for reliable tuning retention across multiple takes.
