Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with an arched maple top gives this C-1 a warm, resonant foundation with strong sustain, while the ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale keep note attack tight and articulate. The Schecter Diamond '78 humbuckers focus on pronounced mids and controlled highs, landing squarely in rock, metal, and fusion territory, and the 2-way coil split thins things out for cleaner, more transparent rhythm and clean tones. Twenty-four X-jumbo frets on a 14" radius support fluid lead work, and the Wilkinson tremolo covers everything from gentle vibrato to steep dive-bombs.
Schecter C-1 Exotic Spalted Maple Guitar Natural B-Stock 0313
The C-1 Exotic is built for players who demand speed and responsiveness without sacrificing sustain. Its thin "C"-shaped neck and 25.5" scale cut through hours of rehearsal, recording, and live work with comfort and precision. The arched spalted maple top catches stage light while the mahogany body delivers the solid resonance and sustain that anchors heavy riffs and sustained lead lines. This B-stock example shows excellent overall condition with a minor headstock crack—a cosmetic consideration that does not affect playability or structural integrity.
Playability & Feel
The roasted maple and purpleheart neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists humidity shifts while maintaining a sleek profile at the 1st fret (.787") and 12th fret (.866"). Twenty-four X-jumbo frets paired with a 14" fretboard radius and Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut (1.653" width) support both precise intonation and smooth bends across the entire neck. Schecter Locking tuners hold tuning stability through aggressive playing and dive-bomb tremolo work.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond '78 Special bridge pickup and Schecter Diamond '78 neck pickup deliver articulate mids and controlled high-end response suitable for rock, metal, and fusion applications. Independent volume, tone, and 2-way coil-split controls on a 3-way pickup selector provide tonal flexibility, while the Wilkinson WVS50IIK Tremolo system handles everything from subtle modulation to dramatic pitch effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and how does it affect this guitar?
B-Stock means this guitar has minor cosmetic imperfections from showroom or handling use—in this case, a minor headstock crack and superficial marks on the exotic spalted maple body. These are purely visual; playability, tone, and structural integrity are completely unaffected, and the guitar carries the full manufacturer warranty.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The dual Schecter Diamond '78 pickups deliver articulate mids and controlled high-end response ideal for metal and hard rock, while the locking tuners and carbon fiber-reinforced neck handle aggressive playing and tremolo work without tuning drift.
How does the neck feel, and will it suit extended playing sessions?
The thin C-shaped neck with roasted maple and purpleheart construction is sleek and fast, measuring 0.787 inches at the 1st fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret. The carbon fiber reinforcement rods resist humidity shifts, making it stable and comfortable for long sessions or studio work.
What tonal range can I get with the coil-split controls?
The independent 2-way coil-split toggle lets you switch between full-humbucking mode for thick, resonant tones and single-coil mode for tighter, more articulate attack. Combined with separate volume and tone controls, you can dial in everything from aggressive metal riffing to cleaner, more defined fusion lines.
Does this guitar include a tremolo system, and is it reliable for dive-bombs?
Yes—the Wilkinson WVS50IIK tremolo system handles both subtle modulation and dramatic pitch effects including dive-bomb work. The locking tuners and stable neck construction keep tuning solid even with aggressive tremolo use.
