Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with arched top gives a thick midrange and long sustain, reinforced by the string-through TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge, while the bolt-on rock maple neck and 25.5" scale add snap and tight low-end definition. The Schecter Hellfire humbuckers push a hot, aggressive voice at the bridge for rhythm chugs and lead work, with the neck position offering a fuller, rounder tone through the simple volume, tone and 3-way layout. With 24 jumbo frets, a flat 14" radius and a thin "C" neck, it leans toward hard rock and metal playing, from palm-muted riffing to fast upper-register soloing.
Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip guitar in Purple Obsidian
The Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip hand-dips Schecter's workhorse C-1 platform in a true water-transfer hydro-dip finish. Every body receives its own custom treatment, so the swirl of metallic purple (Purple Obsidian) across the arched top, sides, back and headstock is one of a kind — no two guitars share the same pattern. Behind the finish sits a full-spec modern C-1: mahogany body, bolt-on rock maple neck, Richlite fingerboard, locking tuners and a pair of Schecter Hellfire humbuckers built for stage reliability.
Neck and playability
A bolt-on rock maple neck with Schecter's Thin “C” profile (20 mm at the 1st fret, 22 mm at the 12th) delivers a comfortable, responsive feel on stage. The 25.5” scale, 14” radius Richlite fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and black 1-ply binding plays smoothly under fast picking and sliding. Aluminum offset/reverse-circle inlays with a hydro-dip inlay at the 12th fret mark your position clearly under stage lights. A Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (42 mm) and 2-way truss rod ensure stable tuning, while the satin-black finished neck and tilt-back headstock with volute are signature C-1 design.
Body, electronics and hardware
The mahogany body (47 mm, arched top with R4 bottom-edge radius) houses Schecter Hellfire HB105SC humbuckers in the neck and bridge, proven performers for both clean tone and driven riffs. Wired to volume, tone and a 3-way toggle with a Switchcraft jack, the electronics deliver the reliability gigging players demand. A TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Schecter locking tuners and satin black hardware lock in tuning stability and sustain through sets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and is it comfortable for extended playing?
The C-1 features a Thin C-profile neck measuring 20 mm at the 1st fret and 22 mm at the 12th, paired with a 14-inch radius Richlite fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets. This combination creates a fast, responsive playing surface that rewards precision work and is designed for smooth lead passages and clean chord work over long sessions.
What pickups are in this guitar, and how do they sound?
The C-1 is equipped with Schecter Hellfire HB105SC humbuckers in both neck and bridge positions, delivering warm, articulate tones with natural sustain and controlled feedback rejection. The mahogany body with arched top reinforces midrange clarity and resonance, making these pickups sit well in hard rock and metal contexts.
How stable is the tuning and intonation?
The guitar features a TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut, Schecter locking tuners, and a 2-way truss rod. This hardware combination ensures rock-solid intonation and consistent action through extended sessions.
What makes the finish unique?
Each C-1 Hydro-dip features a hand-applied Purple Obsidian metallic hydro-dip pattern, meaning no two guitars are identical. This custom finish process creates a striking visual appearance while maintaining the guitar's professional playability and construction.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The C-1 Hydro-dip is designed for hard rock, metal, progressive music, and studio sessions where you need reliable intonation and articulate tone. Its feedback rejection and controlled sustain make it less ideal for folk, jazz, or country playing.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?

At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $63 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states.
