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.

The ultra-thin C profile measures 0.748" at the 1st fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, designed to reduce hand fatigue and enable fast technical passages while maintaining ergonomic support.
