Sound & Tone
Swamp ash with a flamed maple top and set-neck construction give this seven-string a punchy, articulate voice with strong sustain, while the 26.5" scale keeps the low B tight and defined. The Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers push aggressive midrange and controlled highs with clear note separation, and the push-pull volume and tone controls open up alternate voicings from the ceramic bridge and alnico neck positions. Paired with the Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo and ebony fretboard, it suits modern metal riffing, progressive rock, and technical extended-range playing that calls for fast, precise articulation and expressive pitch bends.
Schecter C-7 FR SLS Elite Guitar Blood Burst
The C-7 FR SLS Elite sits naturally in your hands with a thin body profile and ultra-fast neck geometry across all seven strings. Built with luthier-quality construction, this instrument punches through on stage with articulate tone, excellent sustain, and harmonic clarity that cuts through a mix. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo system responds intuitively to your dynamics while locking in tuning stability across extended sets and studio work.
Playability & Feel
The Ultra Thin 'C' neck shape measures just 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, putting you in command of speed and precision across the 24 X-Jumbo Stainless Steel frets. A 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard with abalone offset/reverse dot inlays shapes to your hand's natural movement, while the 26.5" scale keeps extended range playing responsive and ergonomic. The 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access makes neck adjustments straightforward, keeping your instrument live-ready.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—ceramic in the bridge position and alnico in the neck—nail aggressive midrange and controlled highs with excellent articulation, giving you clarity whether you're in the pocket or pushing frequencies. The push-pull volume and tone controls sit under your fingers for real-time tonal shaping during performance, while the 3-way switch lets you dial in your sound across the full seven-string range. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access unlocks the upper frets and sustain through tight body-to-neck contact, essential for modern extended-range riffs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for metal and progressive rock?
Yes. The C-7 FR SLS Elite is specifically designed for metal, progressive, djent, and modern rock genres, with an aggressive midrange character, controlled highs, and articulate separation that excels in heavy and complex playing styles. Its dual Fishman Fluence pickups and tight fret separation make it ideal for both tight rhythmic work and fast lead passages.
What neck profile does this guitar have, and is it fast?
The Ultra Thin 'C' profile measures just 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, making it one of the slimmest profiles available for speed and precision. Combined with the 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, this design facilitates fast technique across all positions and extended-range playing.
How does the Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo perform during long playing sessions?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series system balances expressive pitch control with tuning stability, allowing you to use the whammy bar for dramatic effects without the guitar going out of tune during extended sets. Combined with the carbon fiber-reinforced multi-ply neck, it maintains tuning integrity even with aggressive playing.
What pickup configuration does the C-7 FR SLS Elite use?
It features dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers: a ceramic pickup in the bridge position for aggression and bite, and an alnico pickup in the neck position for warmth and smoothness. Push-pull volume and tone controls allow quick tonal shaping between positions during performance or recording.
What is the scale length, and does it work well for seven-string clarity?
The 26.5" scale (673mm) is specifically designed for extended-range playing, providing enough length to accommodate the lower strings without sacrificing responsiveness or harmonic clarity. This longer scale supports full seven-string articulation and sustain, especially in lower tunings.
