Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with flamed maple top and roasted maple neck lend a warm, dense low end with firm attack, while the 25.5" scale and hardtail bridge tighten the bass and add clarity and sustain to palm-muted riffing. The Richter-6 passive humbuckers deliver thick, articulate output that stays defined under heavy gain, with the neck position rounding out leads and the bridge cutting through dense mixes. Simple master volume, tone, and 3-way switching keeps the voice direct, making it a natural fit for rock, metal, and hard-driven styles where fast runs and upper-fret access matter.
Schecter C-1 Standard Plus Double Cutaway Guitar in Black Burst
The Schecter C-1 Standard Plus captures clear, punchy guitar tones in the studio with its thin "C" neck profile and 24 jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale. The double cutaway body provides excellent upper-fret access for layering and overdubbing, while the forearm contour and lightweight mahogany construction accommodate long tracking sessions. Built for rock, metal, and hard-hitting styles where articulate sustain and controlled dynamics sit well in dense mixes.
Playability & Recording Precision
The roasted maple neck and fretboard resist humidity shifts—critical for maintaining consistent intonation across takes—and provide a fast, responsive playing surface with a 14" radius that balances comfort with precision tracking. The thin neck profile—20 mm at the first fret and 22 mm at the 12th—sits naturally in your hand for repeatable performance, while the 42 mm graphite nut ensures clean string spacing and stable tuning across all positions during recording.
Tone & Signal Path
A pair of Schecter Richter-6 passive humbuckers deliver thick, articulate tones with controlled output that cuts through dense arrangements and responds predictably to amp gain and studio processing. The straightforward electronics—master volume, master tone, and 3-way selector—keep the signal path short and simple, letting pickup character and wood resonance translate transparently to tape without unnecessary coloration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and will it feel comfortable for intermediate to advanced players?
The C-1 Standard Plus features a thin "C" profile measuring 20 mm at the first fret and 22 mm at the 12th fret, designed for fast playing and reduced hand fatigue. This profile is ideal for intermediate and advanced players in rock and metal genres who spend time in the upper frets, though it may feel slimmer than some jazz or blues guitars.
How does the pickup configuration perform under distortion and heavy effects?
The Schecter Richter-6 passive humbuckers deliver thick, controlled tones that articulate clearly without muddiness when driven hard, making them excellent for rock and metal distortion. The simple 3-way selector switch and direct signal path preserve note definition and sustain across the frequency range.
What wood construction affects the tone and stability of this guitar?
The guitar features a solid mahogany body with a flamed maple top for tonal warmth and resonance, paired with a 3-piece roasted maple neck and roasted maple fretboard that resist humidity shifts for stable intonation and playability. The 42 mm graphite nut further supports tuning stability during aggressive playing.
Is the double cutaway design practical for gigging and studio work?
Yes—the double cutaway design provides easy upper-fret access while the forearm contour and lightweight mahogany body reduce fatigue during long sessions on stage or in the studio. The 24 jumbo frets on a 25.5" scale give you plenty of range without sacrificing note definition.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The C-1 Standard Plus is engineered for rock, metal, and hard rock, where clarity, sustain, and playability are priorities. It is not optimized for jazz, blues, or folk applications.
