Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body, neck-thru multi-ply maple/walnut/padauk construction and ebony fingerboard give this C-1 a tight, articulate voice with strong sustain and clear note separation under high gain, while the 25.5" scale keeps low strings firm and defined. The bridge Fishman Fluence Modern active humbucker covers both a focused, high-output modern tone and a second switchable voice with a more open, vintage-leaning response, and the push-pull tone plus 3-way switching add further shaping. With the neck Sustainiac's Fundamental, Mix and Harmonic modes and a Floyd Rose for dive bombs and flutters, it's aimed at modern metal, progressive and shred players who want singing infinite-sustain leads alongside precise rhythm work.
Schecter C-1 FR-S SLS Evil Twin Electric Guitar in Satin Black
The C-1 FR-S SLS Evil Twin is built for guitarists who need a neck that disappears under their hands and tone that adapts to any stage demand. Neck-thru construction paired with an ultra-thin C-profile unlocks comfort and fretboard access without compromise. The satin black finish with rusty grey back and sides delivers understated elegance that photographs as sharp as it sounds—a workhorse aesthetic for serious players.
Playability & Construction
The 7-ply maple, walnut, and padauk neck reinforced with carbon fiber stays dead-stable through temperature swings and aggressive playing. The ultra-thin C neck shape (measuring .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret) lets fast technical runs flow naturally while remaining ergonomically forgiving during long sets. Swamp ash body with ebony fingerboard and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keeps the stage visible and the construction road-ready. The 12"-16" compound radius enables clean single-note work on the lower frets and full barre chord stability higher up, while 24 stainless steel X-Jumbo frets handle years of touring wear.
Tone & Electronics
The dual-pickup setup pairs a Fishman Fluence Modern active humbucker (bridge) with two switchable voices alongside a Sustainiac humbucker (neck) that delivers infinite sustain in three distinct modes—Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic. The control layout includes master volume, master tone (push-pull), 3-way pickup switching, and dedicated 2-way and 3-way switches for Sustainiac activation and mode selection. This setup gives you sophisticated tonal range and sustain characteristics that set you apart in any live context or studio session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have and who is it for?
The ultra-thin C-profile measures 0.748" at the 1st fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony board and 24 X-Jumbo frets. This geometry is engineered for advanced and professional players pursuing fast technical work; it suits progressive metal, extended-range shredding, and studio sessions but is less suited to blues, traditional jazz, or folk approaches.
How do the pickups and Sustainiac circuit work?
The bridge features a Fishman Fluence Modern active humbucker with two switchable voices for tonal sculpting, while the neck houses a Sustainiac humbucker offering infinite sustain in three distinct modes—Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic. A dedicated 2-way on-off switch and 3-way mode selector let you blend or switch between sustain character and standard pickup operation on the fly.
What materials make up the neck and how stable is it?
The neck-thru body is a 7-ply construction combining maple, walnut, padauk, and carbon fiber reinforcement, with an ebony fingerboard and stainless steel X-Jumbo frets on a 25.5" scale. This layering and carbon reinforcement deliver exceptional fretboard stability and consistent intonation across extended playing and tuning variations.
What bridge and hardware does this guitar use?
The C-1 FR-S SLS Elite is equipped with a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut (1.69" nut width) for floating tremolo expression, paired with Grover tuners for reliable stability and tuning retention.
What finishes and body wood are used?
The body is swamp ash with a satin black top finish and rusty grey back and sides, accented by ivory binding. Satin finishes offer a matte, tactile feel that resists fingerprints and shows less wear than high-gloss lacquer during heavy play and touring.
