Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 1946
Description
Schecter C-1 SLS Custom Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 1946
The ultra-thin neck profile on this Schecter C-1 SLS Custom delivers exceptional speed and comfort, with a 0.748" first-fret thickness that suits both rhythmic work and lead passages. The neck-thru construction provides superior sustain and body resonance while the Ultra Access design makes navigating upper frets effortless. This B-Stock unit is unplayed and in excellent condition—minor cosmetic marks on the finish reflect dealer inventory status, not playability or structural integrity.
Playability & Build
The Maple/Walnut/Padauk 7-Ply neck with two carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists warping and provides excellent stability across temperature changes. Combined with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, a 12"-16" compound radius fretboard, and Schecter locking tuners, this guitar maintains precise intonation and supports aggressive bending without fret sprout. The Graphtech Black Tusq XL nut and Hipshot hardtail bridge anchor everything in place for reliable tuning stability on any stage.
Tone & Electronics
The dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups—ceramic in the bridge for aggressive high-output tones and alnico in the neck for warm, articulate response—deliver the clarity and dynamic range needed to command a room. Push-pull controls enable coil-splitting and secondary humbucker voicing, while the swamp ash body contributes a resonant, balanced character that cuts through in any mix and responds dynamically to your touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will cosmetic marks affect playability?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and unplayed, with only minor cosmetic marks on the satin black finish from dealer inventory handling. These marks have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this neck profile suitable for both rhythm and lead playing?
Yes. The ultra-thin 0.748" first-fret and 0.787" 12th-fret profile suits aggressive rhythm work and fast lead passages equally well. The 12"-16" compound radius fretboard balances smooth bending with precise intonation across the neck.
Can I get different voicings from the pickups without swapping them out?
Yes. The push-pull controls on both Master Volume and Master Tone enable coil-splitting and secondary humbucker voicing, giving you multiple tonal options in one instrument without repatching or hardware changes.
How stable will this guitar stay tuned during touring or temperature changes?
The neck-thru construction with two carbon fiber reinforcement rods, Hipshot hardtail bridge, Schecter locking tuners, and Graphtech Black Tusq XL nut are all engineered for precise intonation and tuning stability across road conditions and temperature swings.
What genres does this guitar work best for?
It excels in metal, hard rock, and progressive music where its high-output bridge pickup and aggressive tone cut through dense mixes. The warm, articulate neck pickup and coil-split options also work for studio sessions and genre-versatile recording.
