Description
Schecter C-1 50th Anniversary in 50th Gold Burst
The C-1 50th Anniversary is built for gigging musicians who demand speed and comfort through long sets. Its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and compound radius ebony fingerboard let you move across the fretboard without fighting the instrument, while the premium swamp ash body paired with a maple/walnut/padauk thru-neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods stays locked in under stage lights and road conditions. The 50th Gold Burst finish with black binding and offset brass ring inlays marks this as a serious instrument worthy of any rig—unmistakable visual presence that photographs and performs.
Playability & Construction
The ultra-thin "C" neck shape measures 19mm at the 1st fret and tapers to 20mm at the 12th fret, enabling fast fretwork across the entire 25.5" scale without fatigue during a full set. A 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets ensures precision that lasts through constant gigging, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (42mm width) and TonePros locking tuners guarantee tuning stability that holds night after night and setup reliability you can trust.
Tone & Live Performance
The Schecter Sunset Strip Anniversary Edition bridge humbucker and Pasadena Classic Anniversary Edition neck humbucker cut through a live mix with modern aggression while delivering vintage warmth when you back off the gain. A master volume, master tone with push-pull coil-split function, and 3-way toggle switch give you real-world control over your sound without getting lost in unnecessary options during a performance.
