Description
Sound & Tone
Mahogany gives this C-1 a thick, warm midrange foundation, while the bolt-on maple neck and 25.5" scale add snap, tightness and clear note separation for low-tuned riffing. The Schecter Hellfire humbuckers push a high-output, aggressive voice suited to modern metal, hard rock and progressive playing, with the neck position offering enough smoothness for sustaining leads. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through anchoring supports long sustain and solid tuning stability, and the flat 14" radius with 24 jumbo frets favors fast runs and wide bends.
Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip LH guitar in Midnight Tide
The Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip puts a true water-transfer hydro-dip finish on Schecter's best-selling C-1 platform. Every body is dipped by hand, so the swirl of metallic blue (Midnight Tide) across the arched top, sides, back and headstock is one of a kind — no two guitars share the same pattern. Underneath it is a full-spec modern C-1: mahogany body, bolt-on rock maple neck, Richlite fingerboard, locking tuners and a pair of Schecter Hellfire humbuckers. This is the left-handed version.
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) sits comfortably in the hand and moves fast across the fretboard. The 25.5” scale, 14” radius Richlite fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets responds cleanly whether you're digging in hard or playing with finesse, and the black 1-ply binding with aluminum offset/reverse-circle inlays and hydro-dip inlay at the 12th fret keeps your place on stage. A Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (42 mm) and a 2-way truss rod round out the neck; the satin-black finished neck and tilt-back headstock with volute are pure C-1 reliability.
Body, electronics and hardware
The mahogany body (47 mm, arched top with R4 bottom-edge radius) delivers solid punch and sustain in a gigging package. Schecter Hellfire HB105SC humbuckers in the neck and bridge offer defined output with tight low end and cutting highs, wired to volume, tone and a 3-way toggle with a Switchcraft jack for rock-solid signal path. A TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Schecter locking tuners and satin black hardware keep tuning rock-solid night after night and sustain long.

Frequently Asked Questions
What left-handed guitars is this comparable to?
The C-1 Hydro-dip LH sits in the same class as the ESP LTD EC-1000 LH, Dean Vendetta Left-Handed, and Ibanez RGD Left-Handed—all mid-tier hard-rock platforms with proven hardware and electronics.
What is the neck profile and scale length?
This model features Schecter's Thin 'C' profile (20 mm at the 1st fret, 22 mm at the 12th fret) with a 25.5-inch scale and 14-inch radius Richlite fingerboard carrying 24 jumbo frets, built for speed and comfort.
What pickups does it come with and what tone should I expect?
You get Schecter Hellfire HB105SC humbuckers in both neck and bridge positions, voiced for aggressive clarity, high sustain, and a tight low end with articulate mids—ideal for hard rock, metal, and djent.
What makes the Midnight Tide finish unique?
Each C-1 Hydro-dip features a hand-applied hydro-dip process in Midnight Tide (metallic blue), meaning every guitar has a one-of-a-kind pattern and appearance.
Does it have hardware to stay in tune during heavy playing?
Yes—the TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Schecter locking tuners, and a Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut all work together to maintain rock-solid intonation through aggressive play.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
