Schecter C-1 FR S SLS Elite, Antique Fade Burst - Nearly New

Full Description

Elite Performance

The Schecter C-1 FR S SLS Elite is "Elite" by name and "Elite" by nature. It is a forward-looking guitar with every specification being focused on new technology and exceptional playability. The C-1 FR S SLS is a "Slim Line Series" instrument that provides a no-holds-barred approach to achieving an outstanding playing experience. With a modern Fishman Fluence pickup fitted alongside the truly unique Sustainiac pickup, this guitar has the potential for experimental sound creation. The guitar also has a fast specification neck, quality tonewoods and Floyd Rose tremolo, and could be your ultimate shred machine.

Fishman Fluence & Sustainiac Pickups

Fishman has radically innovated pickup manufacturing with its range of Fluence pickups. The pickups provide a noise-free operation and feature some clever wiring to allow two different tonalities from a single unit. The ceramic bridge humbucker gives the C-1 the capability of achieving both active-pickup-style aggression and passive-pickup-style punch.

The Sustainiac neck pickup is a regarded design and has found favour with a diverse range of musicians, including Steve Vai and the band Radiohead. The Sustainiac is wired to 2 toggle switches that allow you to access its various harmonic modes, and will give you near-infinite sustain.

These two pickups make the C-1 FR S SLS guitar not only an effortlessly playable instrument, but one which can provide the basis for some unique sonic experimentation with soundscapes and layered tones.

Fast Neck Specification

The C-1 FR S SLS Elite has a neck specification aimed squarely at high performance. The neck itself is very thin with a shallow "C" profile. It sits comfortably in the hand and is mounted through the body with a shallow "Ultra Access" joint. When combined with the asymmetric double cutaway body, the C-1's neck will disappear under your fingers as you effortlessly glide along its whole length.

The fingerboard is crafted with a modern compound radius, widely regarded for its low-fret comfort (with rounder radius) and high-fret soloing capabilities (where it becomes flatter). The neck is mounted with 24 stainless steel frets; not only do the stainless steel frets last longer and give a brighter, more resonant tonality, they are also extra-large and give fantastic grip on the strings for easy bends and vibrato.

Resonant Tonewoods

The C-1 FR S SLS Elite has a swamp ash body, known for its well-rounded tonality and resonance. The body is topped with flamed maple for added high-end response and a striking aesthetic on stage. The neck is a multi-ply design with maple, walnut, and padauk. It is reinforced with carbon fibre for incredible stability and increased sustain. The multi-ply neck also looks fantastic from the back of the guitar, with the neck running along the whole length of the instrument; it's almost a shame for your audience that they won't see this rear view.

Professional Features

The C-1 FR SLS Elite has additional design touches for professional performance. The compensated Ernie Ball nut helps with accurate intonation along the length of the neck, while the locking tuners guarantee tuning stability. The double locking Floyd Rose bridge gives the ability to perform all manner of whammy bar antics, safe in the knowledge that your strings will still be in tune after use. No detail is left to chance on the Schecter C-1 FR SLS Elite and you can be sure that it has been honed to perfection to give you the best performance capability possible.
