Schecter C-1 FR-S Apocalypse Red Reign

Schecter C-1 FR-S Apocalypse Red Reign – electric guitar with Sustainiac and Floyd Rose 1500

Schecter C-1 FR-S Apocalypse Red Reign is a high-performance electric guitar built for modern metal players who demand maximum precision, dynamics, and tonal control. The combination of a Sustainiac® neck pickup and a USA Apocalypse-VI™ humbucker in the bridge delivers everything from infinite sustain to aggressive attack. With a swamp ash body, set-neck construction, and a Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo system, it offers uncompromising playability and stage-ready reliability.

Overview and Features

The Apocalypse series is designed for professional musicians, combining advanced electronics with premium tonewoods. The C-1 FR-S Apocalypse features a 25.5” scale length, 24 stainless steel X-Jumbo frets, and a compound-radius ebony fingerboard for fast, precise playing. The active Sustainiac system provides three modes — Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic — allowing notes to sustain infinitely without losing playability or tone definition.

Construction and Materials

This guitar features a swamp ash body with an arched top and black binding, providing both resonance and a refined look. The multi-ply maple and padauk neck includes carbon fiber reinforcement rods for enhanced stability, while the ultra-thin ’C’-shaped profile allows for effortless speed and control across the fretboard. The ebony fingerboard includes Roman numeral inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers — both stylish and practical for dark stage environments.

Electronics and Hardware

The powerful Apocalypse-VI™ bridge humbucker delivers tight, articulate tones even under heavy gain, while the Sustainiac® system enables infinite sustain and expressive control. The electronics layout includes volume, tone, intensity, a three-way pickup selector, a two-way Sustainiac on/off switch, and a three-way Sustainiac mode selector. A Floyd Rose 1500 bridge ensures tuning stability during extreme tremolo use, while Grover Rotomatic tuners offer precise fine-tuning. The satin black hardware completes the guitar’s aggressive, professional aesthetic.
