Schecter C-1 Apocalypse Electric Guitar Carbon Black B-Stock 2331
Description
Schecter C-1 Apocalypse Electric Guitar Carbon Black B-Stock 2331
The C-1 Apocalypse sits perfectly in hand with its thin 'C' neck profile and compound-radius ebony fretboard lined with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets—built for speed and precision through long sets. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access unlocks the upper registers without compromise, while the Swamp Ash body and dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-II pickups produce thick, articulate tones that cut through a live mix and respond dynamically to your playing dynamics. This B-stock unit is priced to move—minor cosmetic imperfections do not affect playability or sonic performance.
Playability & Neck Design
The Maple/Padauk multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods stays stable night after night and gig after gig, resisting the tuning drift that kills performances. At 0.787" (20mm) at the first fret and 0.866" (22mm) at the twelfth, the thin 'C' profile achieves that sweet spot between fast fretting and ergonomic comfort, and the 12"-16" compound radius fretboard delivers effortless open-string voicings while keeping bent notes in tune. Glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keep you oriented on dark stages without breaking focus.
Hardware & Electronics
The Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru body design locks in sustain and resonance while keeping your intonation rock-solid through aggressive bends and palm mutes. Schecter locking tuners and the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut anchor your tuning stability during the most demanding playing, while the dual Apocalypse-II pickups with volume (push-pull), volume, tone, and 3-way switching let you dial in anything from articulate single-note leads to thick, crushing rhythm tones.
