Schecter C-1 SLS Hollywood Guitar Glacier Metallic
The C-1 SLS Hollywood captures aggressive high-gain tones and articulate cleans with exceptional clarity through its Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern pickups and streamlined electronics architecture. Built with a 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk through-neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods, this instrument maintains rock-solid tuning and delivers extended sustain under studio recording conditions. The ultra-thin neck profile and scalloped upper fretboard accelerate session work and rapid tracking when layering parts or experimenting with different playing approaches. The Glacier Metallic finish paired with Hollywood star inlays creates a visually distinctive instrument that records distinctly on camera during live stream sessions or video content.
Tracking & Ergonomics
The ultra-thin neck profile combined with a 12" to 16" compound radius ebony fretboard streamlines access across the entire 24-fret range during extended recording takes and overdub sessions. 24 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets maintain consistent action across repetitive tracking, while the scalloped fingerboard from frets 17–24 enables expressive bending and vibrato techniques that cut through dense mixes without additional processing.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern pickups pair a ceramic bridge pickup with an alnico neck pickup, capturing aggressive high-gain tones and articulate cleans without coil-splitting complexity. A push-pull master volume and master tone control scheme enables voice switching between pickup character profiles, while the five-way pickup selector provides tonal flexibility across bridge, neck, and blended positions for versatile session layering and frequency balance adjustments during mix-down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and who should buy it?
The C-1 SLS Hollywood has a 19mm-thick ultra-thin neck at the 1st fret, tapering to 20mm at the 12th, with a scalloped fingerboard from frets 17–24 for expressive bending and fast position shifts. It's designed for intermediate to advanced metal and hard-rock players who value speed and comfortable extended sessions; it's not well-suited to jazz, folk, or country styles.
What pickups are in this guitar, and how do they sound?
It features Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern pickups with a ceramic bridge pickup for aggressive high-gain tones and an alnico neck pickup for warm, articulate cleans. A push-pull master volume switch lets you toggle between the two voices, and a five-way selector gives you bridge, neck, and blended positions without needing coil-splitting.
How does the through-neck construction help performance?
The 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk through-neck reinforced by two carbon-fiber rods resists neck dive and maintains rock-solid tuning during aggressive playing and bending. This design also contributes to tight sustain and stability, critical for gigging and recording in high-gain contexts.
What hardware and hardware features keep this guitar in tune?
The guitar uses TonePros M-Series locking tuners and a Schecter Nouveau Ergo hardtail bridge for precise intonation and tuning stability. A two-way truss rod with spoke-wheel adjustment at the neck heel allows easy neck relief tweaking without removing the neck.
What is the fretboard material, and does it handle extreme playing styles?
The fretboard is ebony with a 12-inch-to-16-inch compound radius, crowned with 24 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets for durability and consistent action across extreme bending, tapping, and vibrato techniques. Scalloped frets from the 17th to 24th fret reduce finger drag during fast, expressive playing.
