Schecter C-1 Standard Guitar Charcoal Satin
The Schecter C-1 Standard is built for players who demand speed and comfort without compromise. The roasted maple neck shaped in a slim Thin "C" profile sits naturally in hand, while the smooth rosewood fretboard invites hours of playing. The contoured mahogany body with ash top achieves perfect balance whether standing or sitting, and the understated Charcoal Satin finish with cream binding won't distract from your performance—it'll support it.
Playability & Feel
The roasted maple neck with its fast Thin "C" profile puts minimal resistance between your fingers and expression across the entire 25.5" scale length. Twenty-four jumbo frets set to a 14" fretboard radius give you the room to execute smooth bends and chord voicings with confidence, while the graphite nut at 42mm width locks in clarity and tuning stability through a full set. White dot inlays and a 2-way truss rod with 5/32" Allen adjustment make setup and maintenance straightforward, so you stay in control of your instrument's playability night after night.
Tone & Electronics
A pair of Schecter Diamond Standard humbuckers with black metal covers cut through any mix with articulate highs, aggressive mids, and tight lows—essential characteristics for rock, blues, and metal stages. Master volume and master tone controls paired with a 3-way toggle switch give you intuitive command over your tone in real time, while the mahogany body with ash top balances warmth against brightness for a centered voice. The Schecter Diamond Hardtail bridge anchors your tuning solid and extends sustain, keeping your tone alive through every note.
