Schecter C-1 Apocalypse Electric Guitar in Red Reign

The C-1 Apocalypse delivers a neck that sits naturally in your hand thanks to its thin 'C' profile and compound-radius ebony fretboard, paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets that respond instantly to aggressive playing and fast passage work. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access provides both stability and deep cutaway access, making this instrument equally at home on stage or in the studio. Built for modern metal and hard rock players, this guitar combines premium materials with professional-grade hardware for serious performance demands.

Playability & Construction

The neck features a Maple/Padauk multi-ply design with carbon fiber reinforcement rods, keeping the neck stable and straight through extended playing sessions and tuning variations. The thin 'C' neck shape with carefully measured thickness (.787" at the 1st fret, .866" at the 12th fret) provides speed and comfort, while the 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard balances open-string playability with upper-fret bending. Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, Schecter locking tuners, and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers round out the hardware essentials.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI pickups deliver articulate, aggressive tone with excellent cut and sustain, controlled through a straightforward volume (push-pull), tone, and 3-way switch setup. The Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design maximizes resonance and tuning stability, while satin black hardware complements the striking Red Reign finish.
