Schecter C-1 FR-S SLS Evil Twin Electric Guitar in Satin Black
Description
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.
