Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with flamed maple top and roasted maple neck lend a warm, dense low end with firm attack, while the 25.5" scale and hardtail bridge tighten the bass and add clarity and sustain to palm-muted riffing. The Richter-6 passive humbuckers deliver thick, articulate output that stays defined under heavy gain, with the neck position rounding out leads and the bridge cutting through dense mixes. Simple master volume, tone, and 3-way switching keeps the voice direct, making it a natural fit for rock, metal, and hard-driven styles where fast runs and upper-fret access matter.
Schecter C-1 Standard Plus Double Cutaway Guitar in Black Burst
The Schecter C-1 Standard Plus is built for gigging musicians who need a reliable, fast-playing instrument that cuts through a mix. Its thin "C" neck profile and 24 jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale let you navigate the neck with confidence under stage lights. The double cutaway body provides genuine upper-fret access, while the forearm contour and lightweight mahogany construction mean you can play a full set without fatigue. Built for rock, metal, and hard-hitting styles where clarity and sustain are non-negotiable.
Playability & Feel
The roasted maple neck and fretboard stand up to humidity swings—crucial for touring and varying venue conditions—and deliver a fast, responsive playing surface with a 14" radius that balances comfort with precision. The thin neck profile—20 mm at the first fret and 22 mm at the 12th—feels natural in hand, while the 42 mm graphite nut locks in stable tuning across all positions and playing styles.
Tone & Live Reliability
A pair of Schecter Richter-6 passive humbuckers produce thick, articulate tones with controlled output that sits well in a mix and holds up under overdrive and distortion. The straightforward electronics—master volume, master tone, and 3-way selector—keep the signal path simple and bulletproof, allowing the pickups and wood to deliver consistent tone night after night without unnecessary circuitry getting in the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and will it feel comfortable for intermediate to advanced players?
The C-1 Standard Plus features a thin "C" profile measuring 20 mm at the first fret and 22 mm at the 12th fret, designed for fast playing and reduced hand fatigue. This profile is ideal for intermediate and advanced players in rock and metal genres who spend time in the upper frets, though it may feel slimmer than some jazz or blues guitars.
How does the pickup configuration perform under distortion and heavy effects?
The Schecter Richter-6 passive humbuckers deliver thick, controlled tones that articulate clearly without muddiness when driven hard, making them excellent for rock and metal distortion. The simple 3-way selector switch and direct signal path preserve note definition and sustain across the frequency range.
What wood construction affects the tone and stability of this guitar?
The guitar features a solid mahogany body with a flamed maple top for tonal warmth and resonance, paired with a 3-piece roasted maple neck and roasted maple fretboard that resist humidity shifts for stable intonation and playability. The 42 mm graphite nut further supports tuning stability during aggressive playing.
Is the double cutaway design practical for gigging and studio work?
Yes—the double cutaway design provides easy upper-fret access while the forearm contour and lightweight mahogany body reduce fatigue during long sessions on stage or in the studio. The 24 jumbo frets on a 25.5" scale give you plenty of range without sacrificing note definition.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The C-1 Standard Plus is engineered for rock, metal, and hard rock, where clarity, sustain, and playability are priorities. It is not optimized for jazz, blues, or folk applications.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $38 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
