Schecter C-7 Apocalypse guitar in Red Reign

Schecter C-7 Apocalypse in Red Reign

The Schecter C-7 Apocalypse is a seven-string instrument engineered for extended-range playing with a focus on speed and precision. The thin 'C' neck profile and compound fretboard radius make rapid position shifts intuitive, while the set-neck construction with ultra access design keeps upper-fret work accessible without sacrificing body resonance. Red Reign finish—gloss on the arched swamp ash top with semi-gloss sides—delivers visual presence and durability.

Playability & Feel

The neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, maintaining the thin profile that modern extended-range players expect. A 26.5" scale length and 12"–16" compound radius fretboard support both open-position comfort and high-fret bending without dead spots. Twenty-four X-Jumbo stainless steel frets withstand aggressive playing and frequent string bending, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.889" width provides solid tuning stability and even string response across all seven strings.

Tone & Electronics

The Apocalypse VII humbucking pickups—Schecter's proprietary design for seven-string clarity—deliver articulate rhythm tones and singing leads without feedback. Volume push-pull and tone controls with a 3-way pickup switch offer tonal range from warm neck-position sustain to punchy bridge attack. A Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through body and satin black hardware maximize sustain and tuning stability across extended tunings.
