Description
Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and a maple-fretboard neck-thru give this C-1 SLS a bright, articulate voice with long sustain, and the 25.5" scale keeps low notes tight and defined under high gain. The Fishman Fluence Modern set covers a wide range: the ceramic bridge pickup pushes aggressive, high-output rhythm and lead tones with clear note separation, while the alnico neck unit rounds things out for warmer soloing. Push-pull coil splits and a second humbucker voicing extend the palette toward thinner, cleaner sounds, making it a fit for modern metal, prog, and hard rock players who also need usable clean and lead voices.
Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Guitar Satin Black Open Box
The ultra-thin "C" neck profile on this Schecter C-1 SLS Custom enables rapid tracking and comfortable sessions without sacrificing stability — the 7-ply Maple/Walnut/Padauk construction with two carbon fiber reinforcement rods ensures the neck stays true under any playing condition. The neck-thru design with Ultra Access provides exceptional sustain and effortless reach to the upper frets, while the satin black finish presents a refined, studio-ready aesthetic that resists glare under tracking lights.
Playability & Recording Feel
Twenty-four X-Jumbo stainless steel frets paired with a 12"-16" compound radius make this guitar equally suited for open-voiced chord voicings and aggressive lead recordings. Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots provide clear fretboard navigation in any tracking environment, while Schecter locking tuners and the Hipshot hardtail bridge maintain perfect intonation throughout extended recording sessions.
Tone & Electronics
The dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups — ceramic in the bridge for high-output clarity and alnico in the neck for warmth — capture exceptional definition across the entire frequency spectrum. Push-pull controls enable coil split functionality and secondary humbucker voicing options, providing extensive tonal palette choices within a single tracking setup without re-amping or equipment changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does open-box mean, and is this guitar fully functional?
This unit was unboxed, inspected, and set up by our techs; it is otherwise new and unplayed and ships in original packaging with all factory accessories. It is fully functional and covered by our 30-day money-back return policy, including any problem on arrival.
Is this guitar suitable for blues or jazz playing?
No. The C-1 SLS Custom is optimized for metal, hard rock, and progressive music. The high-output Fishman bridge pickup, X-Jumbo frets, and thin neck profile are engineered for speed and aggression rather than the softer dynamics and tonal warmth blues and jazz players typically require.
How do the push-pull controls work, and what tonal options do they give me?
The master volume includes a push-pull coil split, and the master tone has a push-pull secondary humbucker voicing control. This allows you to access multiple pickup configurations beyond the standard 3-way toggle, giving you extensive sonic flexibility within a single guitar.
Will the neck stay stable with frequent touring and temperature changes?
Yes. The neck features 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk construction reinforced with two carbon fiber rods, designed to maintain stability under any playing condition, including the rigors of touring and varying climates.
What skill level is this guitar aimed at?
This guitar is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The ultra-thin C-profile neck, compound radius fretboard, and 25.5-inch scale support both precise lead work and complex chord voicings, but the overall playability and speed-focused design favor players already comfortable with fast fingerboard movement.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $92 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
