Overview

A Versatile Electric Guitar That Excels Across Musical Styles.

The Schecter Guitar Research C-1 SLS Custom electric guitar delivers a premium playing experience for dedicated guitarists. With a contoured swamp ash body and ultra-thin maple/walnut/padauk neck, the C-1 SLS Custom provides effortless playability and comfort. The Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers serve up a versatile range of tones from crystal cleans to high-gain leads with exceptional clarity and definition across all settings.

Ultra-Thin Neck Profile Enables Lightning-Fast Playability

The C-1 SLS Custom's ultra-thin C-shaped neck is designed for speed and precision. The smooth, low-profile neck allows your hand to glide up and down the 25.5" scale length with ease so you can execute intricate solos and complex chord changes with confidence. The neck is constructed from a premium 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk laminate for stability and tone.

Swamp Ash Body Provides a Lightweight, Resonant Foundation

The C-1 SLS Custom's swamp ash body provides an ideal combination of warmth, brightness and resonance. Swamp Ash is a highly sought-after tonewood that produces a clear, woody tone with rich sustain. The lightweight, contoured body shape maximizes playing comfort whether seated or standing. Beautiful flamed Maple veneer adds a touch of visual flair across the top.

Fishman Fluence Pickups Deliver Modern Tone With Vintage Heart

The C-1 SLS Custom comes equipped with a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern humbucking pickups that provide three distinct voices: a hot, high-output active voice; a vintage PAF-inspired voice; and a high-headroom single-coil-like voice. These pickups deliver exceptional clarity and touch sensitivity with enough power for any playing style. Quickly switch between voices using the push-pull volume knob for unlimited tonal possibilities.

Premium Components and Construction

From the Graph Tech Tusq nut to the sturdy tune-o-matic bridge, no detail was spared in the construction of the C-1 SLS Custom. Premium components like Schecter locking tuners, CTS volume and tone pots, Switchcraft toggle switch and output jack ensure solid performance and reliability. The C-1 SLS Custom is a professional-grade instrument made to inspire.
