Description
Sound & Tone
The Fishman Fluence Modern set drives tight, high-output tone with plenty of articulation: the ceramic bridge pickup cuts through with aggressive attack for palm-muted riffing and lead work, while the alnico neck unit stays warmer and rounder for solos, and the push-pull volume and tone controls let you switch between voicings without swapping guitars. Swamp ash with a flamed maple top and neck-through construction give a resonant, sustaining foundation with clear note definition, and the 25.5" scale keeps the low strings taut and defined. Best suited to modern metal, progressive, and hard rock players who want fast, precise playing and Floyd Rose dive-bomb capability, with the ebony board and stainless frets adding a bright, slick attack.
Schecter C-1 FR SLS Elite Electric Guitar Blood Burst
The C-1 FR SLS Elite is engineered for tracking and session work that demands precision and tonal flexibility. Its ultra-thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets across a 25.5" scale make rapid takes and complex arrangements effortless to execute. The neck-through construction with Ultra Access body design ensures stable, articulate sustain that translates cleanly into mix, while the Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and locking nut maintain absolute tuning integrity across extended sessions—essential when layering multiple guitar parts or revisiting tracks days later.
Playability & Recording Precision
The ultra-thin 'C' neck measures just .748" at the first fret and .787" at the twelfth, paired with an ebony fretboard and 12"-16" compound radius that enable smooth, consistent finger movement during long studio hours. The Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners lock in tuning with precision, while the Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking nut and bridge preserve tuning stability across punch-ins, overdubs, and experimental whammy textures without affecting your tape or DAW alignment.
Tone & Electronics
The dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups—ceramic magnet in the bridge and alnico in the neck—capture articulate, high-output tones that sit clearly in a dense mix without losing definition. Push-pull volume and tone controls deliver instant voice-shaping during sessions, letting you dial between aggressive and refined textures without breaking takes. The neck-through swamp ash body with flamed maple top generates excellent resonance and sustain that records with natural presence, while the black hardware and ivory binding complete a cohesive, modern aesthetic that matches the Blood Burst finish.
