Description
Schecter C-1 Jerry Horton 25th Anniversary White
This Schecter C-1 Jerry Horton 25th Anniversary captures the refined playability and aggressive character that defined Horton's signature sound in the studio and on stage. The thin "C"-profile neck and 25.5" scale enable quick, responsive fretting hand movement for precision tracking and intricate layering, while the mahogany body with arched top and striking white finish delivers a cohesive aesthetic in any recording space. Built for producers and engineers who need both ergonomic comfort and professional-grade hardware for session-ready performance.
Playability & Neck Design
The maple 3-piece neck with thin "C" profile sits at 20mm at the first fret, tapering to 22mm at the 12th fret, creating a fast, streamlined feel without sacrificing stability. 24 jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius paired with the Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut at 42mm width provide smooth, consistent action across the entire fingerboard, ideal for both expressive lead lines and tight, locked-in rhythm parts that cut through dense mixes.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA Jerry Horton humbuckers deliver articulate cleans with body and thick, compressed gain tones that sit well in heavy and alternative contexts, while the push-pull coil split pot on the master tone control adds single-coil versatility for cleaner, brighter textures without repatching. The TonePros locking tune-o-matic bridge with string-thru body design and Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure rock-solid intonation and tuning stability through long tracking sessions and overdub work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of music is this guitar designed for?
The C-1 Jerry Horton is built for hard rock, metal, and rock styles. Its aggressive, thick gain character and articulate cleans make it less suited to jazz, folk, or country.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
This is an intermediate to advanced/professional instrument. The fast neck and 24 jumbo frets support lead work and tight rhythm playing, so previous playing experience is recommended.
What does the coil split do?
The push-pull coil split pot on the master tone control lets you switch the dual humbuckers to single-coil voicing on the fly, adding tonal versatility without changing pickups.
Will the tuning stay stable during long sets?
Yes. The Grover Rotomatic tuners and TonePros locking tune-o-matic bridge with string-thru body design are engineered for rock-solid intonation and tuning stability through extended playing sessions.
What comes in the box?
The guitar ships with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (.010–.046) already installed and ready to play.
