Description
Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body, neck-thru multi-ply maple/walnut/padauk construction and ebony fingerboard give this C-1 a tight, articulate voice with strong sustain and clear note separation under high gain, while the 25.5" scale keeps low strings firm and defined. The bridge Fishman Fluence Modern active humbucker covers both a focused, high-output modern tone and a second switchable voice with a more open, vintage-leaning response, and the push-pull tone plus 3-way switching add further shaping. With the neck Sustainiac's Fundamental, Mix and Harmonic modes and a Floyd Rose for dive bombs and flutters, it's aimed at modern metal, progressive and shred players who want singing infinite-sustain leads alongside precise rhythm work.
Schecter C-1 FR-S SLS Evil Twin Electric Guitar in Satin Black
The C-1 FR-S SLS Evil Twin combines neck-thru construction with an ultra-thin C-profile to deliver responsive tracking and fretboard access critical for layered tracking and overdub sessions. The satin black finish with rusty grey back and sides maintains a studio-neutral appearance while the instrument's tonal architecture—pairing active bridge humbuckers with a dedicated sustain circuit—positions it as a versatile workhorse for modern production across rock, metal, and experimental genres.
Recording-Ready Construction
The 7-ply maple, walnut, and padauk neck with carbon fiber reinforcement ensures tuning stability across long session work, while the ultra-thin C neck shape (measuring .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret) reduces fatigue during extended takes. A swamp ash body paired with an ebony fingerboard featuring glow-in-the-dark side dot markers supports precision voicing during low-light studio environments, while the 12"-16" compound radius enables consistent intonation across the entire 24 stainless steel X-Jumbo frets.
Studio Electronics & Sound Design
The dual-pickup configuration pairs a Fishman Fluence Modern active humbucker (bridge) with two switchable voices for frequency shaping in the mix alongside a Sustainiac humbucker (neck) offering infinite sustain with three distinct modes—Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic—essential for pad layers, lead textures, and atmospheric overdubs. The control layout includes master volume, master tone (push-pull), 3-way pickup switching, and dedicated 2-way and 3-way switches for Sustainiac activation and mode selection, enabling rapid tonal pivots between takes without re-amping or reconfiguring your signal chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have and who is it for?
The ultra-thin C-profile measures 0.748" at the 1st fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony board and 24 X-Jumbo frets. This geometry is engineered for advanced and professional players pursuing fast technical work; it suits progressive metal, extended-range shredding, and studio sessions but is less suited to blues, traditional jazz, or folk approaches.
How do the pickups and Sustainiac circuit work?
The bridge features a Fishman Fluence Modern active humbucker with two switchable voices for tonal sculpting, while the neck houses a Sustainiac humbucker offering infinite sustain in three distinct modes—Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic. A dedicated 2-way on-off switch and 3-way mode selector let you blend or switch between sustain character and standard pickup operation on the fly.
What materials make up the neck and how stable is it?
The neck-thru body is a 7-ply construction combining maple, walnut, padauk, and carbon fiber reinforcement, with an ebony fingerboard and stainless steel X-Jumbo frets on a 25.5" scale. This layering and carbon reinforcement deliver exceptional fretboard stability and consistent intonation across extended playing and tuning variations.
What bridge and hardware does this guitar use?
The C-1 FR-S SLS Elite is equipped with a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut (1.69" nut width) for floating tremolo expression, paired with Grover tuners for reliable stability and tuning retention.
What finishes and body wood are used?
The body is swamp ash with a satin black top finish and rusty grey back and sides, accented by ivory binding. Satin finishes offer a matte, tactile feel that resists fingerprints and shows less wear than high-gloss lacquer during heavy play and touring.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $119 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
