Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Guitar Satin Black
Description
Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Guitar Satin Black
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 neck profile does this guitar have, and is it good for fast playing?
The C-1 SLS features an ultra-thin C-neck profile paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12-inch-to-16-inch compound radius, designed specifically for speed and comfort during aggressive lead work and rapid position shifts. The neck-thru construction with Ultra Access also makes reaching upper frets effortless.
What are the pickup options, and can I switch between different voicings?
This guitar comes equipped with dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups: a ceramic bridge pickup for high-output aggression and an alnico neck pickup for warmth and clarity. Push-pull controls on both the master volume and master tone enable coil-split and secondary humbucker voicing options, giving you extensive tonal flexibility without adding extra switches.
Will this guitar stay in tune during long playing sessions and gigging?
Yes—the Hipshot hardtail bridge combined with Schecter locking tuners ensures precise intonation and tuning stability through extended sessions. The neck itself is reinforced with two carbon fiber rods within a 7-ply Maple/Walnut/Padauk construction, keeping it structurally sound under any playing condition.
What body wood is used, and how does it affect the tone?
The body is constructed from Swamp Ash with an arched top contour, a wood choice that contributes to clarity and sustain—key qualities in the guitar's high-output, versatile tonal character that works well for metal, hard rock, and progressive playing.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or traditional music styles?
This guitar is optimized for metal, hard rock, progressive, and studio work; the high-output pickups, compound radius fretboard, and overall design are tailored to modern aggressive playing rather than the smooth, warm voicings and playing dynamics typical of traditional jazz or folk.
