Schecter C-1 SLS Hollywood Guitar Glacier Metallic
The C-1 SLS Hollywood delivers exceptional speed and stability through its ultra-thin neck profile and scalloped upper fretboard, making it immediately comfortable for extended playing sessions and rapid position shifts. Built with a 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk through-neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods, this instrument resists neck dive and maintains rock-solid tuning throughout aggressive playing. The Glacier Metallic finish paired with Hollywood star inlays creates a distinctive visual identity that translates equally well on stage or in the studio.
Playability & Construction
The ultra-thin neck profile combined with a 12" to 16" compound radius ebony fretboard provides ergonomic access across the entire 24-fret range. 24 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets offer durability and consistent action, while the scalloped fingerboard from frets 17–24 enables expressive bending and vibrato techniques without finger drag. On stage, the through-neck construction and carbon fiber reinforcement ensure the instrument holds its setup night after night, regardless of temperature swings or demanding playing styles.
Tone & Stage Reliability
The Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern pickups pair a ceramic bridge pickup with an alnico neck pickup, delivering aggressive high-gain tones and articulate cleans through a push-pull master volume and master tone control scheme for voice switching. The five-way pickup selector provides tonal flexibility across bridge, neck, and blended positions without requiring coil-splitting complexity. The TonePros M-Series locking tuners and Schecter Nouveau Ergo hardtail bridge keep intonation locked in during extended sets, while the 42mm Graph Tech Ivory TUSQ XL nut ensures sustain and tonal clarity that cuts through live mixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and who should buy it?
The C-1 SLS Hollywood has a 19mm-thick ultra-thin neck at the 1st fret, tapering to 20mm at the 12th, with a scalloped fingerboard from frets 17–24 for expressive bending and fast position shifts. It's designed for intermediate to advanced metal and hard-rock players who value speed and comfortable extended sessions; it's not well-suited to jazz, folk, or country styles.
What pickups are in this guitar, and how do they sound?
It features Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern pickups with a ceramic bridge pickup for aggressive high-gain tones and an alnico neck pickup for warm, articulate cleans. A push-pull master volume switch lets you toggle between the two voices, and a five-way selector gives you bridge, neck, and blended positions without needing coil-splitting.
How does the through-neck construction help performance?
The 7-ply maple/walnut/padauk through-neck reinforced by two carbon-fiber rods resists neck dive and maintains rock-solid tuning during aggressive playing and bending. This design also contributes to tight sustain and stability, critical for gigging and recording in high-gain contexts.
What hardware and hardware features keep this guitar in tune?
The guitar uses TonePros M-Series locking tuners and a Schecter Nouveau Ergo hardtail bridge for precise intonation and tuning stability. A two-way truss rod with spoke-wheel adjustment at the neck heel allows easy neck relief tweaking without removing the neck.
What is the fretboard material, and does it handle extreme playing styles?
The fretboard is ebony with a 12-inch-to-16-inch compound radius, crowned with 24 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets for durability and consistent action across extreme bending, tapping, and vibrato techniques. Scalloped frets from the 17th to 24th fret reduce finger drag during fast, expressive playing.
