Schecter C-1 Hydro Dip Electric Guitar, Purple Obsidian

The Schecter C-1 Hydro Dip Electric Guitar is a high-performance instrument that combines distinctive styling with powerful sound and effortless playability. Its unique hydro dip finish gives each guitar an individual appearance, with the process ensuring no two instruments look exactly alike. A carved mahogany body provides a solid foundation for the Schecter Radio Active humbuckers, which deliver powerful, articulate tones suited to tight rhythm playing and soaring leads. Master volume and tone controls, alongside a three-way pickup selector, make it easy to shape your sound.

Built for modern playing styles, the bolt-on rock maple neck features a fast Thin "C" profile, complemented by a Richlite fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets. The 25.5" scale and 14" fingerboard radius provide a comfortable playing platform, while distinctive metal offset ring inlays add visual character. A Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body construction enhances sustain and tuning stability, supported by Schecter tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut. D'Addario NYXL strings complete this performance-focused instrument.

Individual hydro dip finish and carved mahogany body
Every Schecter C-1 Hydro Dip features a unique hydro-dipped finish, giving each instrument its own distinctive appearance. The process creates individual patterns across the guitar, ensuring that no two examples are exactly alike. Beneath this striking finish sits a carved mahogany body, combining a contoured design with a substantial foundation for performance. Black binding and satin black hardware complement the overall aesthetic, creating a cohesive appearance that brings together the guitar's visual character and its modern, performance-focused construction.

Powerful Schecter Radio Active humbuckers
A pair of Schecter Radio Active humbuckers equips the C-1 Hydro Dip with powerful, articulate tones designed for modern playing. Their high-output character makes them equally well suited to tight, defined rhythm parts and expressive lead playing, providing the response needed for a variety of musical approaches. A master volume control and master tone control offer straightforward sound adjustment, while the three-way toggle switch lets you select between pickup configurations. This practical control layout keeps tonal shaping accessible throughout rehearsals, recording sessions and live performances.

Fast maple neck and comfortable Richlite fingerboard
The bolt-on rock maple neck features Schecter's Thin "C" profile, offering a fast playing feel that suits demanding rhythm patterns and fluid lead passages. Its Richlite fingerboard features a 14" radius and 24 jumbo frets, providing ample room for expressive playing across the 25.5" scale. Metal offset ring inlays guide your position along the fingerboard, while a distinctive "Hydro" inlay marks the 12th fret. Black neck binding completes the design, bringing together practical playability and carefully considered visual details.

Reliable hardware and string-thru-body construction
The Tune-O-Matic bridge works with the C-1 Hydro Dip's string-thru-body construction to enhance sustain and tuning stability. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter tuners further support dependable tuning performance, helping the guitar remain ready for demanding playing situations. Factory-equipped D'Addario Regular Light NYXL 1046 strings complete the setup, providing a reliable starting point for rehearsals, performances and recording. Satin black hardware ties the components together visually, complementing the instrument's distinctive finish while maintaining its streamlined, modern appearance.
