Sound & Tone
Mahogany body with an arched top gives this C-1 a thick, warm midrange foundation, while the 25.5″ scale, bolt-on maple neck and string-through TonePros Tune-O-Matic add tightness, attack and long sustain. The Schecter Hellfire humbuckers push a high-output voice that stays articulate under gain, with a cutting bridge tone for riffing and leads and a fuller neck setting for solos and cleaner passages, all switchable via the 3-way toggle with volume and tone. The thin “C” profile, 14″ radius Richlite board and 24 jumbo frets suit fast rock and metal rhythm work and upper-register lead playing.
Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip guitar in Golden Eclipse
The Schecter C-1 Hydro-dip puts a true water-transfer hydro-dip finish on Schecter’s best-selling C-1 platform. Every body is dipped by hand, so the swirl of metallic gold (Golden Eclipse) across the arched top, sides, back and headstock is one of a kind — no two guitars share the same pattern. Underneath it is a full-spec modern C-1: mahogany body, bolt-on rock maple neck, Richlite fingerboard, locking tuners and a pair of Schecter Hellfire humbuckers that track tight and cut through dense mixes.
Neck and playability
A bolt-on rock maple neck with Schecter’s Thin “C” profile (20 mm at the 1st fret, 22 mm at the 12th) carries a 25.5” scale, 14” radius Richlite fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets, black 1-ply binding and aluminum offset/reverse-circle inlays with a hydro-dip inlay at the 12th fret. A Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (42 mm) and a 2-way truss rod round out the neck; the satin-black finished neck and tilt-back headstock with volute are pure C-1. The slim profile and fret access support extended range tracking and overdub sessions without fatigue.
Body, electronics and hardware
The mahogany body (47 mm, arched top with R4 bottom-edge radius) delivers the warm, articulate resonance that sits naturally in rock and metal productions. It’s loaded with Schecter Hellfire HB105SC humbuckers in the neck and bridge—voiced for clarity and harmonic definition on both rhythm takes and lead passes—wired to volume, tone and a 3-way toggle with a Switchcraft jack. A TonePros T3BT Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Schecter locking tuners and satin black hardware keep tuning stable across multiple takes and ensure sustained sustain through long tracked phrases.
