Schecter C-1 Standard Plus Double Cutaway Guitar in Purple Burst
The Schecter C-1 Standard Plus delivers balanced tracking and responsive articulation with its slim Thin "C" profile neck and Ultra Access double cutaway body. The Purple Burst finish showcases the figured maple top while the instrument maintains excellent sustain and clarity across its range, making it ideal for layering and stacking in multitrack sessions. Built for engineers tracking guitars through various signal chains and requiring reliable, predictable performance across overdubs and takes.
Playability & Construction
The 3-piece roasted maple neck with precisely measured dimensions—20 mm at the 1st fret and 22 mm at the 12th fret—provides fast position shifts and reduced finger fatigue during long tracking days. 24 jumbo frets on a 14" radius roasted maple fingerboard with black dot and side dot inlays enable precise intonation across the fretboard, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod and 42 mm graphite nut maintain rock-solid tuning stability across multiple takes. The mahogany body with flamed maple top and bolt-on construction yields bright articulation paired with warm sustain—a combination that cuts through a dense mix without harshness.
Tone & Electronics
A pair of Schecter Richter-6 pickups with satin chrome covers capture articulate single-note definition and full-bodied chord work without muddiness in the midrange. The straightforward control layout—master volume, master tone, and 3-way pickup selector—provides immediate access to three distinct tonal voices within a session, while the Schecter Diamond hardtail bridge with satin chrome hardware ensures stable tuning and direct resonance transfer to the body for tight, focused recordings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and is it comfortable for long playing sessions?
The C-1 Standard Plus features a Thin C-profile neck measuring 20 mm at the 1st fret and 22 mm at the 12th fret—a slim, fast profile designed for extended play without hand fatigue. The 3-piece roasted maple construction provides stability and consistent feel throughout long rehearsals and gigs.
What genres and styles is this guitar best suited for?
This guitar excels in rock, metal, hard rock, and progressive music. The bright articulation and warm sustain from the mahogany-and-maple construction, combined with the Richter-6 pickups and hard-tail bridge, make it less ideal for jazz and traditional country styles.
What pickups does it have, and can I get both lead and rhythm tones?
The C-1 Standard Plus comes equipped with a pair of Schecter Richter-6 pickups in satin chrome covers, accessible via a 3-way selector switch. The neck pickup delivers full-bodied rhythm tones, the bridge pickup provides articulate lead work, and the middle position blends both for versatility.
How does the bridge affect tuning stability and sustain?
The Schecter Diamond hardtail bridge eliminates vibrato-arm effects and floating hardware, ensuring direct resonance transfer to the body and rock-solid tuning stability during aggressive play or extended sets. The 42 mm graphite nut and 2-way adjustable truss rod further lock in consistent intonation.
What is the scale length and fingerboard radius?
The C-1 Standard Plus has a 25.5-inch scale length and a 14-inch radius roasted maple fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets. The roasted maple fingerboard and black dot inlays support smooth position shifts and fast riffing.
