Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip guitar in Golden Eclipse

The Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip puts a true water-transfer hydro-dip finish on Schecter's best-selling C-1 platform. Every body is dipped by hand, so the swirl of metallic gold (Golden Eclipse) across the arched top, sides, back and headstock is one of a kind — no two guitars share the same pattern. Underneath it is a full-spec modern C-1: mahogany body, bolt-on rock maple neck, Richlite fingerboard, locking tuners and a pair of Schecter Hellfire humbuckers.

Neck and playability

A bolt-on rock maple neck with Schecter's Thin “C” profile (20 mm at the 1st fret, 22 mm at the 12th) carries a 25.5” scale, 14” radius Richlite fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets, black 1-ply binding and aluminum offset/reverse-circle inlays with a hydro-dip inlay at the 12th fret. A Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (42 mm) and a 2-way truss rod round out the neck; the satin-black finished neck and tilt-back headstock with volute are pure C-1.

Body, electronics and hardware

The mahogany body (47 mm, arched top with R4 bottom-edge radius) is loaded with Schecter Hellfire HB105SC humbuckers in the neck and bridge, wired to volume, tone and a 3-way toggle with a Switchcraft jack. A TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Schecter locking tuners and satin black hardware keep tuning stable and sustain long.
