Description
Sound & Tone
Mahogany gives this C-1 a thick, warm midrange foundation, while the bolt-on maple neck and 25.5" scale add snap, tightness and clear note separation for low-tuned riffing. The Schecter Hellfire humbuckers push a high-output, aggressive voice suited to modern metal, hard rock and progressive playing, with the neck position offering enough smoothness for sustaining leads. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through anchoring supports long sustain and solid tuning stability, and the flat 14" radius with 24 jumbo frets favors fast runs and wide bends.
Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip LH guitar in Midnight Tide Open Box
The Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip brings a true water-transfer hydro-dip finish to Schecter's workhorse C-1 platform. Every body is dipped by hand, so the swirl of metallic blue (Midnight Tide) across the arched top, sides, back and headstock is one of a kind — no two guitars share the same pattern. Under the finish sits a full-spec modern C-1: mahogany body, bolt-on rock maple neck, Richlite fingerboard, locking tuners and a pair of Schecter Hellfire humbuckers optimized for tracking and mix-ready clarity. This is the left-handed version.
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. The comfortable profile and precise fret work translate directly into tight takes and consistent intonation across sessions.
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—voices that deliver articulate highs and focused lows without sacrificing punch in a dense mix. Wiring runs to volume, tone and a 3-way toggle with a Switchcraft jack for solid signal integrity. A TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Schecter locking tuners and satin black hardware ensure rock-solid tuning stability and resonant sustain across takes.
