Schecter C-1 FR-S Apocalypse Lefty Guitar Red Reign
The C-1 FR-S Apocalypse is built for left-handed players who demand professional-grade performance without compromise. Its thin 'C' neck profile sits comfortably in the hand, while the arched swamp ash body contours naturally for upper-fret access during extended solos and technical passages. The Red Reign gloss finish paired with satin black hardware delivers a commanding stage presence that matches the guitar's high-output sonic character.
Playability & Construction
The deep insert joint with ultra access neck joint grants you seamless upper-fretboard navigation, essential for aggressive playing and extended techniques. Built on a 25.5" scale, this instrument maintains rock-solid tuning stability and consistent string tension across playing sessions. The Maple/Padauk multi-ply neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists neck movement over time, ensuring your action and intonation stay true gig after gig. Topped with an ebony fretboard and 24 x-jumbo stainless steel frets, this neck thrives under aggressive attack and supports demanding lead work without fret wear concerns.
Electronics & Hardware
The Schecter USA Apocalypse bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup give you complete tonal control on stage. Dedicated controls—a 2-way on-off Sustainiac switch and 3-way Sustainiac mode switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic)—let you dial in everything from crushing rhythm tones to infinite sustain for ambient textures and soaring lead passages. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut with 1.625" nut width lock in your tuning during dive bombs and whammy explorations while opening up a wide tonal palette.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock players?
Yes. The high-output bridge pickup, Sustainiac neck pickup with three switching modes (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic), and x-jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard are purpose-built for aggressive playing, extended lead work, and the articulation metal and hard rock demand.
What makes the left-handed configuration different from a standard right-handed model?
This guitar is fully built for left-handed players, with all hardware, pickups, controls, and the Floyd Rose bridge mirrored to deliver the same playability, tone, and professional construction as the right-handed version.
How does the Sustainiac pickup work, and what is it for?
The Sustainiac neck pickup is activated via a 2-way on-off switch and 3-way mode selector (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic), allowing you to sustain notes indefinitely or blend harmonic textures into your tone—useful for leads, atmospheric passages, and experimental soundscaping.
What is the neck profile, and is it comfortable for extended playing?
The thin 'C' profile (.787" at the 1st fret, .866" at the 12th fret) is designed for speed and comfort, with a deep insert joint and ultra-access neck joint that make reaching upper frets effortless for extended lead work and studio sessions.
Does the Floyd Rose bridge hold tuning during heavy use?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge paired with a matching nut, carbon-fiber-reinforced neck, and Grover tuners delivers precision tuning stability and sustain across studio and live settings, even during aggressive playing or extended note bending.
