Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with arched top gives a thick midrange and long sustain, reinforced by the string-through TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge, while the bolt-on rock maple neck and 25.5" scale add snap and tight low-end definition. The Schecter Hellfire humbuckers push a hot, aggressive voice at the bridge for rhythm chugs and lead work, with the neck position offering a fuller, rounder tone through the simple volume, tone and 3-way layout. With 24 jumbo frets, a flat 14" radius and a thin "C" neck, it leans toward hard rock and metal playing, from palm-muted riffing to fast upper-register soloing.
Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip guitar in Purple Obsidian
The Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip pairs Schecter's proven C-1 platform with a true water-transfer hydro-dip finish that delivers distinctive visual character to every recording session. Each body receives a hand-applied dip, so the swirl of metallic purple (Purple Obsidian) across the arched top, sides, back and headstock is one of a kind — no two guitars share the same pattern. The full-spec foundation includes a mahogany body, bolt-on rock maple neck, Richlite fingerboard, locking tuners and a pair of Schecter Hellfire humbuckers optimized for professional tracking and mixing flexibility.
Neck and playability
A bolt-on rock maple neck with Schecter's Thin “C” profile (20 mm at the 1st fret, 22 mm at the 12th) carries a 25.5” scale, 14” radius Richlite fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets, black 1-ply binding and aluminum offset/reverse-circle inlays with a hydro-dip inlay at the 12th fret. A Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (42 mm) and a 2-way truss rod round out the neck; the satin-black finished neck and tilt-back headstock with volute are pure C-1. This setup ensures reliable session intonation and smooth fretwork for extended studio takes.
Body, electronics and hardware
The mahogany body (47 mm, arched top with R4 bottom-edge radius) is loaded with Schecter Hellfire HB105SC humbuckers in the neck and bridge, voiced to capture clear, articulate tones that cut through mixes and respond well to compression and EQ. Wiring includes volume, tone and a 3-way toggle with a Switchcraft jack for clean signal integrity. A TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Schecter locking tuners and satin black hardware maintain tuning stability across multiple takes and session days, supporting consistent sustain and resonance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and is it comfortable for extended playing?
The C-1 features a Thin C-profile neck measuring 20 mm at the 1st fret and 22 mm at the 12th, paired with a 14-inch radius Richlite fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets. This combination creates a fast, responsive playing surface that rewards precision work and is designed for smooth lead passages and clean chord work over long sessions.
What pickups are in this guitar, and how do they sound?
The C-1 is equipped with Schecter Hellfire HB105SC humbuckers in both neck and bridge positions, delivering warm, articulate tones with natural sustain and controlled feedback rejection. The mahogany body with arched top reinforces midrange clarity and resonance, making these pickups sit well in hard rock and metal contexts.
How stable is the tuning and intonation?
The guitar features a TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut, Schecter locking tuners, and a 2-way truss rod. This hardware combination ensures rock-solid intonation and consistent action through extended sessions.
What makes the finish unique?
Each C-1 Hydro-dip features a hand-applied Purple Obsidian metallic hydro-dip pattern, meaning no two guitars are identical. This custom finish process creates a striking visual appearance while maintaining the guitar's professional playability and construction.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The C-1 Hydro-dip is designed for hard rock, metal, progressive music, and studio sessions where you need reliable intonation and articulate tone. Its feedback rejection and controlled sustain make it less ideal for folk, jazz, or country playing.
