Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body and neck-through maple/walnut/padauk laminate give this C-1 a tight, articulate low end and long sustain, while the 25.5" scale keeps drop tunings and fast riffing clear and defined. The Brimstone-6 bridge pickup pushes high-output crunch and lead tones suited to metal, hard rock and modern progressive playing, and the Sustainiac neck pickup adds infinite sustain and harmonic modes for soaring, feedback-style leads and ambient textures. With a Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo, locking nut and stainless X-jumbo frets over a 12"-16" compound radius, it handles aggressive dive bombs, wide bends and shred phrasing while holding pitch.
Schecter C-1 FR-S Pale Moon Natural with Black Burst
The C-1 FR-S Pale Moon is built for gigging players and studio professionals who demand precision, speed, and rock-solid tuning stability. The ultra-thin neck profile, fluid fretboard access, and responsive Floyd Rose bridge system make this a reliable workhorse on stage or in the studio. The swamp ash body paired with pale moon ebony presents a striking visual while delivering the balance and control needed for extended sets and studio sessions.
Playability & Construction
The neck-through design uses a 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk laminate with an ultra-thin C profile, delivering superior sustain and responsiveness across the entire range. A 25.5" scale with 24 stainless steel X-jumbo frets and a 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard enables aggressive bending and smooth chord work without dead spots. The Richlite fingerboard resists moisture and wear while the stainless steel frets maintain playability for years on the road or in the studio.
Electronics & Hardware
The dual-pickup configuration pairs a Schecter Brimstone-6 bridge pickup with a Sustainiac neck pickup, each controlled independently with dedicated mini switches for mode selection and activation. The Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo combined with Floyd Rose locking nut and TonePros M Series tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability even during aggressive vibrato use. Black hardware, a 41.3mm nut width, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod with spoke wheel complete a professional-grade setup built for live reliability.

Is this guitar suitable for metal and drop tunings?
Yes—the C-1 FR-S is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, and progressive music. Its 25.5-inch scale, neck-through construction, and Floyd Rose 1500 system provide the sustain, stability, and tuning consistency needed for aggressive drop tunings and extended playing sessions.

What neck profile does this have, and who is it for?
The ultra-thin C profile is designed for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize speed and reach across a 24-fret, 12-inch-to-16-inch compound radius fingerboard. Beginners or players preferring thicker, fuller necks may find it less comfortable.
How does the Floyd Rose system maintain tuning stability?
The Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo combines with a locking nut and TonePros M Series tuners to lock in your pitch even during aggressive vibrato. This setup ensures rock-solid tuning stability across extended sessions and heavy performance.
