Schecter C-1 Standard Plus Guitar in Ember Burst
Description
Schecter C-1 Standard Plus (Ebony) in Ember Burst
The Schecter C-1 Standard Plus captures articulate, full-bodied tones across rock, metal, and heavier production styles. Its Ultra Access double-cutaway body and thin C-profile neck facilitate quick upper-fret access during tracking sessions, while the roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard deliver the tonal clarity and sustain critical for layered arrangements. The satin Ember Burst finish with black binding resists fingerprints and studio wear, eliminating the maintenance overhead of gloss finishes during extended session work.
Recording & Tracking Performance
The roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide excellent harmonic definition and responsive attack, essential for capturing clean articulation in dense mixes. The 25.5-inch scale length and thin C profile yield consistent intonation and reduced finger fatigue during long recording takes, while the 14-inch fretboard radius and 24 jumbo frets allow precise fretting across the entire register—critical for punch on lead layers and clarity on rhythm tracks without high-fret muting artifacts.
Tone & Electronics
A pair of Schecter Richter-6 humbuckers with black covers deliver full-spectrum output suitable for aggressive mix placement, controlled through master volume and tone knobs plus a 3-way pickup selector for dialing in bridge aggression or neck warmth within a single session. The Schecter Diamond Hardtail bridge and black chrome hardware ensure rock-solid tuning stability across multiple takes, eliminating time-wasting retuning and providing the consistent sustain required for punchy rhythm layers and singing lead lines.
