FANTASTIC PRO GRADE GUITAR

Review written by the good folks a SWEETWATER!

Great Tone, Looks, and Playability Without Compromise!

There’s something magical about an instrument like the C-1 Exotic Spalted Maple guitar that has it all: good looks, great tone, and awesome playability. With its mahogany body, the C-1 Exotic produces a warm tone that yields low frequencies, pronounced mids, and a smooth high end. A roasted maple neck featuring an ebony fingerboard and Thin "C" profile facilitate fast, accurate playing. Schecter Diamond ’78 Special and ’78 humbuckers deliver a gamut of tones that will meet the demands of a variety of musical situations. Plus, with a Wilkinson tremolo system and Schecter locking tuners, you can use and abuse the whammy bar and stay in tune. From endless tonal options to high-quality components, the C-1 Exotic proves you can have it all without compromise.

Endless tonal possibilities

Many of Schecter’s guitars are known for their tone-shaping versatility, and the C-1 Exotic is no different. With a Diamond ’78 Special humbucker in the bridge and a ’78 in the neck, Sweetwater guitarists quickly unleashed a plethora of sonic options, from thick, full crunch to shimmering bright cleans. A 2-way coil-split toggle sits between the volume and tone knobs, giving you even more tonal variety.

Meticulously crafted with striking details

With its superb tone, it’s only natural that the C-1 Exotic looks exceptional. A classy spalted maple top in a satin natural vintage burst is perfectly complemented with a classic single-ply cream binding. The body is topped off with cream pickup rings, chrome radiators, and cream/black bobbins. Striking abalone line inlays run up and down the ebony neck in offset stacked patterns, with black strap buttons and tuners bringing the guitar's cohesive visuals together.

Components primed for any environment

The sleek look of the C-1 Exotic is made even better by the practicality of its components. The mahogany body offers plenty of resonance on tap, with a bolt-on carbon fiber and rod-reinforced roasted maple neck that can combat the harshest playing conditions. The C-1 Exotic's smooth ebony fingerboard and Thin "C" profile are ideal for fast, accurate playing, and the combination of a Wilkinson tremolo with Schecter locking tuners ensures top-notch tuning stability.
