Elevated C-1 Value and Performance

Looking for a new axe to grind? The Schechter C-1 FR SLS Elite delivers cutting-edge performance packed with playability, comfort, killer tones, and elite looks. Its gorgeous flamed maple-capped swamp ash body creates a luscious cocktail of brightness and warmth, along with mids that “pop.” Beyond that, the C-1 FR SLS Elite supplies access to sought-after humbucker tones, thanks to its Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups. Experience enhanced sustain and playability by virtue of a Neck-Thru design and a smooth ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets. This neck is licensed to speed and outfitted with Schecter’s “Ultra Thin C” neck carve and a compound radius for agile movement at either end. Complete with an eye-grabbing fading finish, attractive black hardware, locking tuners, and a Floyd Rose tailpiece, the C-1 FR SLS Elite oozes quality.

Rock-solid construction with high-end appointments

When you pick up a C-1 FR SLS, you'll be amazed by all of the details and finishing touches that make this a truly remarkable instrument. Its beautiful flamed maple top appears to leap off the surface, and the intricate inlays in its smooth ebony fretboard add a special touch of class. What's more, these details aren't just cosmetic. The C-1 FR SLS features a Neck-Thru design that gives you easy access to those higher, hard-to-reach frets, not to mention a handy boost in sustain for crushing riffs with marathon resonance.

Fishman Fluence Modern pickups give you endless tonal options

The C-1 FR SLS’s dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups let you leverage a spread of high-impact humbucker tones. These pickups provide you with your choice of two unique, selectable voices. Revel in the tight bass, crisp highs, and subtle growl supplied by the Fluence’s modern active pickup voice. Or if you’re feeling a bit gnarly, these pickups’ high-output humbucker voice is tailor-made for distortion. The guitarists at Sweetwater are constantly amazed at the range and presence Fluence pickups dish out.

Floyd Rose — smooth bends, zero thorns

If you love the performance and range of Schecter’s C-1, the C-1 FR SLS takes that freedom to its six-string limit with a high-performance Floyd Rose 1500 tailpiece. Players looking to pair shredded riffs with a little extra spice will find the Floyd Rose ready for dive bombs and squeals — all with immaculate intonation and tuning stability supported by locking tuners and a carefully-selected nut.

Schecter C-1 FR SLS Elite Electric Guitar Features:

  • Musical-sounding swamp ash body is capped with jaw-dropping flamed maple
  • Super-stable maple/walnut/padauk multi-ply neck resists shifts and warps
  • Neck-Thru heel, “Ultra Thin C” profile, and a smooth ebony fingerboard enhance sustain and playability
  • Compound radius and 24 extra-jumbo stainless frets fuel unfettered room for expression with bold comfort

Excellent Purchasing Experience

Love Sweetwater. Will not go anywhere else for my gear. Service is excellent and the prices are great.
Rated 5/5

A beast of a guitar

Being an owner of a Schecter already, which I purchased at Sweetwater back in 2017, I knew that Schecter builds quality guitars for a reasonable price. When I saw the Schecter C1 SlS in the blood burst finish, I had to have it. Everything about this guitar is amazing. It's loaded with high end features that you would normally have to spend significantly more money for. I especially love the Fishman modern pickups. They blew me away with how tight and articulate they are in a drop C tuning, but they also have a growl that makes me want to crank my amp. I also love schecter necks. It's the perfect balance for my needs. I am also always impressed with how well the customer service is at Sweetwater. I'm always taking care of by Mason. That is why Sweetwater is the only place I go to for any of my musical needs. I love that I live near the store in fort Wayne as well. I always feel like a kid in a candy shop there.
