Sound & Tone
Swamp ash paired with a multi-ply maple, walnut, and padauk through-neck gives this C-1 a clear, resonant voice with tight lows and long sustain, and the ebony fingerboard and 25.5" scale add snap and definition to individual notes. The Sunset Strip bridge pickup brings articulate highs and muscular low end for driven rhythm and lead work, while the Pasadena Classic neck pickup rounds things out for warmer cleans and smoother solo passages. With a hardtail bridge for stable tuning, 24 stainless steel frets, and a 12"–16" compound radius, it suits rock and metal players who also want usable clean tones and comfortable access for fast lead lines.
Schecter C-1 50th Anniversary LH Guitar in Gold Burst
This left-handed C-1 50th Anniversary is built for the player who demands a dependable stage workhorse with pro-grade construction. The ultrathin neck profile and compound radius fretboard make it easy to dial in comfort during long sets, while the through-body construction delivers the sustain and tonal clarity needed to cut through a live mix. TonePros tuning machines and a hardtail bridge mean no middle-of-the-show surprises—just solid intonation stability and zero-maintenance reliability.
Construction & Hardware
The swamp ash body with multi-ply maple, walnut, and padauk through-neck is built to withstand the road: stable, resonant, and resistant to the warping that can plague single-wood designs. TonePros M Series tuners and a hardtail bridge with black and gold hardware lock in tuning and eliminate the unpredictability of tremolo systems—crucial for gigging musicians who need their instrument to stay put under stage lights and temperature swings.
Playability & Electronics
The 12"–16" compound radius ebony fingerboard works equally well for open-chord work and fast lead passages, while 24 stainless steel frets are engineered to resist wear through years of nightly performances. Sunset Strip bridge and Pasadena Classic neck pickups punch through the mix with articulate highs and authoritative lows—a combination that translates well in a live context, whether you're running clean tones or pushing into gain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the compound radius fretboard (12–16 inches) different, and who benefits?
The flatter radius in the lower frets supports clean open chords and rhythm work, while the rounder upper frets accommodate fast bends and lead work without choking. Intermediate to advanced players who move between rhythm and solos in the same song will feel the difference immediately.
Is this guitar suitable for genres other than rock and metal?
The Sunset Strip and Pasadena Classic pickups excel in rock, metal, progressive, and hard rock contexts. Folk and country players should look elsewhere, as the offset design, pickup voicing, and through-body construction are voiced for higher-gain and articulate clean tones.
Why a hardtail bridge instead of a tremolo?
The hardtail eliminates the tuning instability and maintenance burden of tremolo systems, keeping you in tune reliably for full sets. This is a trade-off: you lose whammy effects, but gain dependable intonation night after night.
What is the scale length and nut width?
The C-1 has a 25.5-inch scale length and 42mm nut width with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, offering a standard modern playing feel suitable for aggressive fretting and extended range work.
Is this left-handed configuration the full feature set of the right-handed version?
Yes—the 50th Anniversary LH includes the same swamp ash body with through-neck construction, stainless steel frets, TonePros tuners, and Sunset Strip/Pasadena Classic pickups as the right-handed model, fully mirrored for left-handed playing.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces such as eBay, Reverb and Amazon collect sales tax in nearly every state as marketplace facilitators no matter who the seller is, so the same item at the same price costs less bought direct. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included. Some states ask buyers to self-report use tax on out-of-state purchases.
