Schecter positioned the C-1 SLS Elite at the upper tier of its C-series line, built around a neck-thru-body construction with Ultra Access and a Swamp Ash body capped with a Flamed Maple top. The Black Fade Burst finish was offered in a right-handed configuration with black hardware throughout and an ivory single-ply binding along the body edge.
The multi-ply Maple, Walnut, and Padauk neck incorporated Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods and carried an Ebony fretboard with a 12"–16" compound radius, 24 X-Jumbo Stainless Steel frets, and Abalone Offset/Reverse Dot inlays with matching Abalone side dots. The Ultra Thin 'C' neck profile measured .748" at the first fret and .787" at the twelfth, with a 25.5" scale and an Ernie Ball Compensated Nut at 1.653" width. Schecter Locking tuners handled the headstock end while a Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-through-body anchoring handled the other. Electronics consisted of a Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic Magnet humbucker at the bridge and a Fishman Fluence Modern Alnico Magnet humbucker at the neck — both active designs drawing from an onboard 9-volt clip-in battery compartment — controlled via a Volume push-pull, Tone push-pull, and 3-way switch, all fitted with metal knurled set-screw knobs. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046 strings. A case was sold separately (SGR-1C).
Owners requiring setup adjustments, fret work, or hardware replacement should consult a qualified guitar technician, who can advise on compatible parts for the Hipshot Hardtail bridge, Fishman Fluence active pickups, and the heel-access spoke-wheel truss rod system.
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.
