Overview and features

Mahogany body with figured burl top

The body is built from mahogany and topped with figured burl, giving the guitar a distinctive grain pattern beneath the dark Black Fade Burst Burl finish. The familiar C-1 body shape features double cutaways for easy access to the upper frets.

Roasted maple neck with Thin C profile

The bolt-on neck is made from roasted maple and uses Schecter's Thin C profile for a fast and comfortable playing feel. The rosewood fingerboard has a 14-inch radius and 24 jumbo frets, providing plenty of room for bends, vibrato and quick position changes.

The 25.5-inch scale length provides familiar string tension and a clear attack that works well for both standard tuning and various lower tunings.

Two Schecter Diamond Standard humbuckers

The C-1 Standard Black Fade Burst Burl is fitted with two passive Schecter Diamond Standard humbuckers with black metal covers. The bridge pickup provides clear attack and good note separation for riffs and driven tones, while the neck pickup delivers a fuller, smoother sound for lead work and clean tones.

Controls consist of Master Volume, Master Tone and a 3-way pickup selector, allowing quick switching between the bridge pickup, neck pickup or both together.

Diamond Hardtail with String-Thru-Body

The fixed Schecter Diamond Hardtail bridge is combined with a String-Thru-Body design for a stable setup, direct response and good sustain. Together with Schecter tuners and a graphite nut, it provides a dependable system that is straightforward to maintain and retune.

A versatile Standard Series model

With dual humbuckers, a Thin C neck profile, fixed bridge and 24 jumbo frets, the C-1 Standard is designed to cover a wide range of styles. It is suitable both for players buying their first serious electric guitar and experienced guitarists who need a dependable instrument for practice, recording and live use.
