Description
Schecter C-1 FR-S SLS Elite Guitar Blood Burst
The C-1 FR-S SLS Elite delivers an exceptionally thin neck profile with its Ultra Thin "C" shape and carbon fiber reinforcement, making it feel natural in your hands during extended sets and quick position shifts across the fretboard. The neck-through construction combined with Ultra Access body shaping ensures unrestricted access to all 24 frets while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for live performance. This is a precision instrument built for players who demand both immediate playability and tonal range that adapts to any stage situation.
Playability & Feel
The Ultra Thin "C" neck measures just 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th, paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard that feels responsive and comfortable whether you're bending in the lower register or navigating lead lines up high. 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets stay locked in with minimal maintenance, ensuring precise intonation night after night, while the Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and Floyd Rose 1500 Series nut keep the tremolo system stable and smooth through your most aggressive dive bombs and whammy bar work.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic humbucker at the bridge cuts through on stage with focused, articulate high-end response that holds its own in any mix, while the Sustainiac neck pickup with dedicated switching and three harmonic modes (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) opens doors for sustain tricks and resonance effects that set your tone apart. Complete control over both pickups and Sustainiac functionality is managed through intuitive push-pull tone controls and dedicated mode switches right under your fingers.
