Schecter C-1 Standard 6-String Electric Guitar - Blood Burst

Play with absolute confidence and commanding style. The Schecter C-1 Standard in striking Blood Burst is purpose-built for modern guitarists who demand exceptional tonal depth, road-tested structural integrity, and uncompromising craftsmanship. Blending an aggressive modern design language with premium material choices, this right-handed powerhouse pairs a beautiful flamed maple top with high-gloss deep crimson shading. Whether tracking crystal-clear ambient passages in the studio or delivering crushing high-gain riffs under intense stage lights, the C-1 Standard provides an elite playing platform designed to elevate your musical performance to legendary status.

Angkor Music Technical Evaluation: High-Tech Neck Engineering & Resonance Core

The stand-out feature of the Schecter C-1 Standard (Item 3949) lies in its ultra-engineered **Roasted Maple and Purpleheart multi-ply bolt-on neck**. To completely safeguard against environmental warpage, twisting, or seasonal shifts, Schecter has reinforced this neck structure with dual **Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods**. This rigid laminate configuration ensures consistent string action and zero tuning migration. The neck is carved into a lightning-fast **Thin "C" shape** (measuring a swift 20mm/0.787" at the 1st fret to 22mm/0.866" at the 12th fret) paired with a traditional, warm-sounding **rosewood fretboard**, a flat **14-inch radius**, and **24 jumbo frets** for friction-free legato tracking and massive pitch bends. Beneath the neck, a premium **mahogany body core** sets a thick, punchy foundational voice, capped with a **flamed maple top** that adds bright, snappy transient attack to every single note you pick.

E-E-A-T Performance Standards: Precision Components & Pro Workshop Setup

At Angkor Music, our highly trained team of in-house technicians thoroughly inspects, cleans, benches, and optimizes the action and intonation of every Schecter guitar before it leaves our facility. Diamond Standard Passive Architecture: This model comes equipped with dual **Schecter Diamond Standard passive humbuckers** dressed in sleek, protective black metal covers. Wired directly through a highly intuitive Master Volume, Master Tone, and heavy-duty 3-way toggle switch, these pickups offer fantastic note separation and an expansive dynamic range. Rock-Solid Strings-Through Hardtail: Tuning stability is anchored by a fixed **Schecter Diamond hardtail bridge** that routes the strings directly through the mahogany body. This design maximizes acoustic energy transfer, creating long-lasting sustain that works hand-in-hand with a **42mm graphite nut** and sealed Schecter die-cast tuning keys.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of carbon fiber reinforcement rods inside the neck?
Standard guitar necks rely solely on a single metal truss rod to resist string tension. By embedding dual parallel carbon fiber rods alongside the roasted maple and purpleheart multi-ply laminates, Schecter has engineered a neck that is practically immune to climate variations. If you frequently travel between humid coastal areas, air-conditioned studios, and cold rehearsal rooms, these rods prevent the wood from bowing, keeping your preferred action setup entirely locked in.

Can I easily down-tune the C-1 Standard for drop-tuned styles?
Absolutely. Because this guitar features a fixed hardtail bridge rather than a complex floating bridge, you can shift into Drop D or alternative tunings in seconds without affecting the pitch of the other strings. The standard 25.5-inch scale length holds crisp tension for standard drop tunings with the stock 10-46 string set. For deep alternative drop tunings (like Drop C or Drop B), we recommend installing a slightly heavier string gauge (such as 11-52 or 12-56) to ensure snappy tracking.

Does this model include a hardshell storage case, and which case is recommended?
To ensure this guitar remains accessible to players worldwide, a case is not included in the standard retail package. However, the body shape is meticulously engineered to fit the official **Schecter 1620 SGR-1C premium molded hardshell case**. Featuring a heavy-duty outer protective shell and a plush, form-fitting interior cradle, it keeps your guitar entirely safe from transit wear. You can easily purchase this matching case with your order here at Angkor Music.
