A High-end Axe for Serious Musicians

Are you looking for a high-end axe to unlock your full potential? The Schecter C-1 FR-S SLS Elite is just such an instrument. Its stunning flamed maple–topped swamp ash body yields a balanced blend of brightness and warmth along with mids that pop. A Fishman Fluence Modern bridge pickup gives you the most sought-after humbucker tones, while a Sustainiac neck pickup yields limitless sustain and a wicked lead tone. The C-1 FR-S SLS Elite’s Ernie Ball compensated nut and Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo ensure that intonation will never become an issue. Complete with an eye-grabbing fading finish and attractive black hardware, the C-1 FR-S SLS Elite oozes quality.

Fishman Fluence Modern pickup gives you endless tonal options

Thanks to the C-1 FR-S SLS Elite’s Fishman Fluence Modern bridge pickup, you’ll be able to harness the most sought-after humbucker tones. This pickup provides 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, this pickup’s high-output humbucker voice is tailor-made for distortion. The guitarists at Sweetwater are impressed by the range of sounds that can be milked out of the C-1 FR-S SLS Elite.

Sustainiac pickup yields near-infinite sustain

You just can’t beat the abundant sustain you’ll get out of your C-1 FR-S SLS Elite’s Sustainiac neck pickup. This unique pickup design features a special sustain circuit that’s designed to let notes ring on as long as you’d like. Just kick in the sustain circuit, play a note or chord, and let the electromagnetic feedback carry your sound as long as desired.

Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge/tailpiece for expression

Schecter loaded this C-1 FR-S SLS Elite with a Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo bridge. A remake of the original Floyd Rose blade tremolo, this incredible bridge lets you grab on, rock out, and never worry about your tuning stability. You’ll get both the rock-solid reliability and the tight response you need for precision playing, along with the expressive vibrato and dive-bombing capability of the Floyd Rose.

Rated 5/5

Most versatile guitar I've ever played.

I absolutely love the warmth and depth of the sustainiac single coil bridge pickup. You won't have to compromise tone to have the sustainiac option in the bridge position. With Floyd Rose 1500 and locking nut,the tuning is extremely stable. I am also impressed with the Fishman Fluence pickups clarity and versatility with the 2 voices available with the push/pull tone control. The neck feels great and the guitar is beautiful! It is now my workhorse axe for all my gigs.
