Full Description

Exhilarating metal sound

Extreme power and quality in a pickup system that can do it all. Schecter have loaded the C-1 Apocalypse with a set of fantastic Apocalypse-II pickups. These will give you unlimited possibilities in your music. They perform extremely well at high output levels, eliminating hum and interference, and making sure every note bursts with clarity and definition. Their high volume output will fill venues of any size, and the sharp, booming tones they're capable of delivering can give you explosive metal sound for the studio, too. A hugely versatile electronic system.

Play to perfection

Blistering speed. There's nothing holding you back with the Schecter Apocalypse. That's because it's been fitted with an ultra-thin maple and padauk multi-ply neck to give you an exhilarating, pacey playing action. The thin shape means you can move up and down the neck rapidly and with ease, and the wood's slick quality makes the playability incredibly smooth. Channel the legends of metal, and shred at tremendous pace.

Exceptional ebony

Shining bright. The classy roman numeral inlays across the ebony fretboard are one beautiful sight to behold. But dig a little deeper and you'll find that the same quality craftsmanship runs all the way through the wood. With a super smooth surface and a bright resonance of its own, it's a joy to play, and will help to sustain each note you play. Each fret transition will feel super smooth as you fly down the neck.

High end hardware

Strap in. Each piece of this beautiful guitar has been carefully selected to bring you an incredible sonic experience. The Hipshot hardtail bridge is a beacon of tuning stability and sustain, holding each string tight as you shred your way through riffs. Schecter locking tuners keep a firm hold over your tuning, whilst facilitating fast, seamless string changes. As such, you can be confident that this instrument is ready for stages of all sizes, as well as the studio. The beautiful aesthetic and expert craftmanship make it one ultra capable beast, and a true work of art.
