Description
Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Electric Guitar Satin Black B-Stock
The C-1 SLS Custom captures clean articulation and responsive dynamics across both single-note passages and chord work, thanks to its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and compound 12"-16" radius fingerboard that maintains playability without introducing unwanted neck fatigue during long tracking sessions. The neck-thru construction with Ultra Access cutaway enables fast access to higher register parts without repositioning, while the satin black finish provides a studio-neutral aesthetic that resists fingerprints and visual distraction. This B-stock unit represents a significant value opportunity, as it carries the same specifications and craftsmanship as new stock with only cosmetic considerations.
Playability & Construction
The 25.5" scale length paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and an ebony fingerboard ensures precise intonation across multiple takes and allows session players to move fluidly between rhythm and lead parts. The maple/walnut/padauk 7-ply neck with two carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists seasonal shifts and maintains neck relief under varying humidity conditions common to recording environments, while the swamp ash body with arched top contour contributes tonal clarity and sustain that translates well to both direct recording and mic'd capture. Neck measurements at the 1st fret (0.748") and 12th fret (0.787") define a slim, modern profile that eliminates hand strain during extended overdub sessions.
Tone & Electronics
The dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups — ceramic in the bridge position and alnico in the neck — deliver tonal separation ideal for layering tracks, with push-pull coil-split and secondary humbucker voicing controls that allow rapid tonal adjustment between passes without patch cable swaps. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with Graph Tech TUSQ nut ensures consistent intonation across multiple recording takes and sustain that cuts through dense arrangements, while Schecter locking tuners provide stable tuning during aggressive playing techniques and extended sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this unit is fully functional with identical specifications and craftsmanship to new inventory, but carries minor cosmetic imperfections such as marks, finish irregularities, or light handling wear. Playability, electronics, and tonal performance are uncompromised.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and high-gain playing?
Yes. The dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups are engineered specifically for aggressive high-gain response, tight low end, and dynamic coil-split versatility. The 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and neck-thru construction provide durability and sustain for demanding lead and rhythm work in metal and progressive genres.
What pickup options and tonal flexibility does it offer?
The bridge pickup is ceramic Fluence Modern and the neck is alnico Fluence Modern. Both feature push-pull controls: the master volume offers coil-split for different voicing flavors, and the master tone provides a secondary humbucker voicing option, giving you extensive tonal range without changing pickups.
How comfortable is the neck for extended playing sessions?
The ultra-thin C-profile neck (0.748" at the 1st fret, 0.787" at the 12th fret) combined with the 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard and Ultra Access cutaway minimizes hand fatigue during long sessions while maintaining responsive playability across the entire fretboard.
What tuning stability and intonation features does it have?
The Schecter locking tuners and Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with a Graph Tech TUSQ nut ensure precise intonation and sustain. The two carbon fiber reinforcement rods in the maple/walnut/padauk neck provide structural stability during aggressive bending and performance.
