Schecter C-1 SLS Elite Evil Twin Electric Guitar in Satin Black
Description
Schecter C-1 SLS Elite Evil Twin Electric Guitar in Satin Black
The C-1 SLS Elite Evil Twin feels like an extension of your hands from the first note, thanks to its ultra-thin 'C' neck contour and neck-thru construction with Ultra Access. Built for the demands of both the rehearsal space and the stage, this is a workhorse instrument that handles extended sets without fatigue. The satin black finish combined with ivory binding and luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots strikes a refined, modern aesthetic that commands respect on any stage—and sounds every bit as good as it looks.
Playability & Feel
The ultra-thin 'C' neck measures just .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret, letting you move through fast passages and shred runs with the fluidity competitive players demand. A 25.5" scale length with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard keeps action comfortable whether you're digging in or playing delicately, while the ernie ball compensated nut (1.653" width) locks in intonation from open strings straight through to the body—essential for relying on this guitar night after night.
Tone & Stage Reliability
The Fishman Fluence Modern pickup pairing—ceramic magnet in the bridge and alnico in the neck—cuts through a mix with articulate, responsive tones that deliver both clarity and punch in a live environment. Swamp ash body construction builds warm, resonant lows and defined midrange that translate to the audience, while the string-thru hipshot hardtail bridge locks down tuning and maximizes sustain across long sets. Independent push/pull controls on volume and tone let you dial in voicing options on the fly—no hunting through menus mid-performance.
