Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and an ebony fretboard give the C-1 Apocalypse a punchy, articulate voice with tight lows and crisp high-end definition, while the set-neck build and string-thru Hipshot hardtail add sustain and a solid, focused attack. The dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-II humbuckers push thick, high-output rhythm tones and cut cleanly for leads, with the push-pull volume and 3-way switch opening up brighter, thinner voicings when you need them. The 25.5" scale, thin 'C' neck, and 12"-16" compound radius suit fast metal and hard rock playing, extended-range lead work, and drop tunings that need string clarity.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-stock mean?
B-stock means this guitar is fully functional and covered by the manufacturer warranty, but it has minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect playability or sound. The discount reflects these cosmetic-only marks.
Is the thin 'C' neck comfortable for metal and hard rock?
Yes—the thin 'C' profile (0.787" at the first fret, 0.866" at the twelfth fret) sits naturally in the hand and is designed for fast playing, low-action bends, and aggressive technique. The 12"-16" compound-radius ebony fretboard balances open-string playability with precise bent-note control.
How stable is the neck under hard use?
The maple/padauk multi-ply neck with carbon-fiber reinforcement rods resists warping and maintains tuning stability even under aggressive playing. The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru design and locking tuners further lock in intonation and reduce tuning drift.
Will the pickups handle both studio recording and live stage volume?
Yes—the dual Schecter USA Apocalypse-II pickups are high-output and deliver thick, articulate tones with excellent dynamic range and sustain, making them reliable for both studio tracking and live performance. Independent controls (push-pull volume, volume, tone, 3-way selector) let you dial in the exact amount of gain and tone shaping you need.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The C-1 Apocalypse is voiced for metal, hard rock, and progressive music. It is not optimized for folk or jazz styles.
