Schecter positioned the C-7 Apocalypse as a high-specification extended-range instrument within its Apocalypse series, built for seven-string players requiring baritone scale length and heavy-duty hardware. The guitar was constructed with a set-neck joint featuring Ultra Access heel shaping, a swamp ash body with arched top and black single-ply binding, and a multi-ply maple and padauk neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods.
The 26.5" (673mm) scale neck carried an ebony fretboard with a 12"-16" compound radius, 24 X-jumbo stainless steel frets, and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut cut to 1.889" (48mm) to accommodate the seven-string spread. Mother of Pearl triangle inlays marked the 12th and 24th frets, with glow-in-the-dark side dot markers. Both pickup positions used Schecter USA Apocalypse-VII™ humbuckers, routed through a volume/volume/tone (push-pull) and 3-way switch layout. The bridge was a Hipshot Hardtail (.125) with string-through-body anchoring, finished in satin black alongside all remaining hardware. Schecter locking tuners and Hipshot O-Ring knobs completed the hardware package. The neck profile measured a Thin 'C' shape at .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the Hipshot bridge saddles, Graph Tech XL nut blanks, or Schecter locking tuner hardware — should consult the specifications above and work with a qualified guitar technician to confirm it fits before installation.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
