Solidbody Electric Guitar with Ash Top, Mahogany Body, Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Charcoal Satin

Setting a New Standard of C-1 Sonics

Schecter’s C-1 model has long been a favorite among guitarists for its hard-hitting take on the iconic S-type silhouette. The Schecter C-1 Standard transposes the model’s historic high-octane stylings for an all-access axe that spares no effort in utilizing premium tonewoods, pliable playability, and electrifying Schecter-designed humbuckers. Ash, mahogany, maple, and rosewood comprise this axe’s aural armature, supplying an impressive degree of sonic fidelity and sound shaping in a value-packed guitar. Its high-speed neck and 24-fret spread support versatile tone-crafting possibilities, while its eye-catching finish is a voltaic marriage of form and function that ensures your C-1 Standard looks as powerful as it sounds.

Premium foundations for all

Schecter’s Standard series models expand the scope of accessibility to their lauded designs, doing so without compromising the dedication to quality that defines them. The C-1 Standard is no exception, with its cornerstone comprising an ash-topped mahogany body, providing a rich, harmonically deep foundation that’s well-balanced with plenty of panache. The roasted maple neck augments the aural properties of the guitar’s top, imbuing your sound with full-spectrum brightness and excellent note separation, allowing chords, riffs, leads, and licks to shine through with plenty of definition. A rosewood fingerboard completes the C-1 Standard’s tonewood quartet, enshrining your sound in a crystalline veneer that adds presence to every register without sacrificing articulation.

House-made pickups for tailored sonic contouring

In keeping the sonic complexity of the C-1 Standard’s tonewood assemblage in mind, Schecter spared no effort in supplying this axe with the tools needed to bring its foundational tones to life in electrifying voicing. The bridge- and neck-mounted positions each feature their respective iteration of Schecter’s Diamond Standard passive humbuckers, supporting a range of sonorous cleans and smoldering riffs to high-octane distortions and scorching solos. A 3-way pickup selector is joined by Master Volume and Tone control knobs, but don’t let this straightforward arrangement fool you: the C-1 Standard is rife with tone-crafting possibilities, ensuring virtually any style is primed for premium performance.

Engineered for versatile, powerful performances

With versatility in spades, the C-1 Standard is outfitted to accommodate multitudes of playstyles. Twenty-four frets sprawl its 25.5-inch scale, while the fretboard’s 14-inch radius, alongside the Thin “C”-shaped neck, are complemented by the evocative curvature of the C-1 silhouette. Combining all this with its sculpted heel and treble-side cutaway provides uninhibited access to its wealth of latent sonic-sculpting possibilities. Speaking of accessibility, if you’re curious as to why the C-1 Standard features explicitly a roasted maple neck, then we’ve got you covered. Unlike conventional maple, roasting maple increases the wood’s dimensional stability. Doing this not only enhances the sonic relationships between itself and the other tonewoods, but significantly reduces the risk of twisting or warping. It all adds up to the C-1 Standard being the ideal road warrior with robust resilience to changing environments.
