Overview and features

Mahogany body with flamed maple top

The body is made from mahogany with a flamed maple top. This combination provides a classic visual character and a solid foundation for a full, dynamic guitar sound. The familiar C-1 body shape features double cutaways for easy access to the upper frets.

Roasted maple neck with carbon-fibre reinforcement

The bolt-on neck is built from roasted maple and Purpleheart and reinforced with carbon-fibre rods for increased stability. Its Thin C profile provides a comfortable playing feel for chords, riffs and lead work.

The rosewood fingerboard has a 14-inch radius and 24 jumbo frets. Combined with the 25.5-inch scale length, this provides familiar string tension, clear attack and plenty of room for bends and technical playing.

Two Schecter Diamond Standard humbuckers

The C-1 Standard is fitted with two passive Schecter Diamond Standard humbuckers. The bridge pickup provides clear attack and good definition for riffs and driven tones, while the neck pickup is well suited to fuller lead sounds and warmer clean tones.

Controls consist of Master Volume, Master Tone and a 3-way pickup selector, making it easy to move quickly between pickup combinations and tonal options.

Diamond Hardtail with String-Thru-Body

The fixed Schecter Diamond Hardtail bridge is combined with a String-Thru-Body design. This provides a stable setup, direct response and good sustain while remaining easy to maintain and retune.

Built for versatile playing

With its Thin C neck profile, fixed bridge, 24 jumbo frets and dual humbuckers, the C-1 Standard is designed to work across a wide range of styles. It is suitable both for newer players looking for a guitar they can grow with and experienced guitarists who need a dependable and flexible instrument.
