Sound & Tone
The Fishman Fluence Modern set drives tight, high-output tone with plenty of articulation: the ceramic bridge pickup cuts through with aggressive attack for palm-muted riffing and lead work, while the alnico neck unit stays warmer and rounder for solos, and the push-pull volume and tone controls let you switch between voicings without swapping guitars. Swamp ash with a flamed maple top and neck-through construction give a resonant, sustaining foundation with clear note definition, and the 25.5" scale keeps the low strings taut and defined. Best suited to modern metal, progressive, and hard rock players who want fast, precise playing and Floyd Rose dive-bomb capability, with the ebony board and stainless frets adding a bright, slick attack.
Schecter C-1 FR SLS Elite Electric Guitar Blood Burst
The C-1 FR SLS Elite is built for players who need a fast, responsive neck and rock-solid tuning stability through extended playing sessions and aggressive whammy techniques. Its ultra-thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets across a 25.5" scale make quick work of high-register leads and complex passages. The neck-through construction with Ultra Access body design ensures stable sustain and clean upper-fret access, while the Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and locking nut lock in tuning reliably night after night on stage or in the studio.
Playability & Feel
The ultra-thin 'C' neck measures just .748" at the first fret and .787" at the twelfth, paired with an ebony fretboard and 12"-16" compound radius that rewards smooth bends and comfortable fretting across the entire neck. The Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners lock in tuning with precision, while the Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking nut and bridge deliver the tuning stability and dive-bomb capability serious players expect from a whammy-equipped instrument. This is a guitar that stays where you dial it and responds instantly to your touch.
Tone & Electronics
The dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups—ceramic magnet in the bridge and alnico in the neck—deliver articulate, high-output tones with push-pull volume and tone controls for instant voice-shaping on the fly. The neck-through swamp ash body with flamed maple top generates excellent resonance and sustain that cuts through a live mix, while the black hardware and ivory binding complement the Blood Burst finish and underscore the instrument's modern, purposeful design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile is this guitar, and is it comfortable for extended playing sessions?
The ultra-thin C-profile neck measures 0.748 inches at the first fret and 0.787 inches at the twelfth, paired with a 12-to-16-inch compound radius ebony fretboard. This fast, comfortable shape is designed for speed and endurance, making it ideal for long studio sessions or live sets.
How does the Floyd Rose 1500 bridge handle aggressive playing and whammy techniques?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking nut and bridge system provides reliable tuning stability for dive-bombs, whammy dives, and extended techniques while maintaining consistent intonation through demanding play. The locking tuning mechanism locks in pitch so you can focus on performance without tuning worries.
What do the dual Fishman Fluence pickups deliver tonally, and can I shape the sound on the fly?
The ceramic magnet bridge pickup delivers high-output articulate tones for aggressive rhythm and lead work, while the alnico neck pickup adds warmth and sustain. Push-pull volume and tone controls provide instant voice-shaping without needing an external effects unit, letting you dial between bright, cutting tones and warmer, rounder voicings mid-session.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock, or does it work in other genres?
The C-1 FR SLS Elite is optimized for metal, hard rock, and progressive music, where its high-output pickups, sustain, and whammy system excel. It is not designed for folk, traditional jazz, or worship applications, where other Schecter or brand options would be better suited.
What is the body construction and how does it affect tone and sustain?
The guitar features neck-through construction with a swamp ash body, flamed maple top, and maple-walnut-padauk multi-ply neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods. This combination generates excellent resonance and sustain while maintaining stability and durability for gigging and recording.
