Description
Sound & Tone
The Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic bridge humbucker gives this C-1 a tight, focused attack with articulate treble detail, and the swamp ash body, maple top and neck-through maple/walnut/padauk construction reinforce that clarity with firm low end and long sustain, while the ebony fretboard keeps note definition crisp under high gain. The Sustainiac neck pickup adds infinite sustain with Fundamental, Mix and Harmonic modes for feedback-style swells and singing overtones on demand. With a 25.5" scale, 24 stainless frets and a Floyd Rose 1500, it's aimed at modern metal, progressive rock and shred players who want fast lead work, dive-bomb vamping and controlled harmonic effects.
Schecter C-1 FR-S SLS Elite Guitar Blood Burst
The C-1 FR-S SLS Elite is engineered for studio tracking and production work, featuring an exceptionally thin neck profile with its Ultra Thin "C" shape and carbon fiber reinforcement that minimizes fatigue during long recording sessions and complex overdub arrangements. The neck-through construction combined with Ultra Access body shaping enables seamless fretboard navigation across all 24 frets, critical for capturing layered guitar parts with precision. This is a production instrument built for engineers and producers who demand both rapid workflow and sonic flexibility in the mix.
Recording-Ready Playability
The Ultra Thin "C" neck measures just 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th, paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard for consistent response during tracking passes. 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets deliver clean articulation and precise intonation across takes, while the Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and Floyd Rose 1500 Series nut maintain rock-solid stability through extended sessions and whammy bar-driven textures.
Studio Tone & Signal Control
The Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic humbucker at the bridge captures focused, articulate high-end definition that cuts through dense mixes, while the Sustainiac neck pickup with dedicated switching and three harmonic modes (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) provides programmable sustain and harmonic layering for atmospheric textures and experimental recording techniques. Complete control over both pickups and Sustainiac functionality is managed through intuitive push-pull tone controls and dedicated mode switches, enabling quick mid-session adjustments without breaking take momentum.
