Schecter C-1 SLS Elite guitar in Blood Burst

Schecter C-1 SLS Elite Blood Burst

The C-1 SLS Elite combines a razor-thin neck profile with neck-thru construction designed for speed and precision across extended sessions. This Blood Burst finish delivers visual impact backed by articulate electronics and hardware engineered for modern playing demands—whether pursuing crystalline cleans or thick, saturated gain.

Playability & Feel

The Ultra Thin "C" neck profile (0.748" at the 1st fret, 0.787" at the 12th) pairs with a Maple/Walnut/Padauk multi-ply neck featuring carbon fiber rods for stability without sacrificing resonance. The 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on a 12"–16" compound radius ebony fretboard enable both precision fretting and aggressive bending, while Schecter locking tuners and an Ernie Ball compensated nut (1.653" width) hold intonation solid through long sessions.

Tone & Electronics

Fishman Fluence Modern pickups—ceramic in the bridge position and alnico in the neck—deliver tight, articulate response with clarity across the frequency spectrum. The Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru body design maximizes sustain and resonance, while push-pull volume and tone controls expand tonal flexibility on the fly.
