Schecter positioned the C-7 FR SLS Elite (item 1356) as a high-specification seven-string instrument within the SLS Elite tier of the C-series line. The neck-thru-body construction with Ultra Access joint was paired with a swamp ash body and a flamed maple arched top, finished in Antique Fade Burst with ivory single-ply binding. Hardware was finished in black throughout.
The multi-ply maple, walnut, and padauk neck incorporated carbon fiber reinforcement rods and carried an ebony fretboard with a 12"–16" compound radius. Twenty-four X-jumbo stainless steel frets ran the 26.5" (673mm) baritone scale. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and matching locking nut handled the floating tremolo system, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners provided tuning stability at the headstock. Pickups were Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers — a ceramic-magnet unit at the bridge and an alnico-magnet unit at the neck — both active designs drawing from a 9-volt clip-in battery. The push-pull volume and tone controls, along with a 3-way switch, allowed coil-splitting or voicing changes depending on pot configuration. The instrument shipped without a case; the SGR-1C was sold separately.
Owners requiring Floyd Rose 1500 Series replacement saddles, springs, or fine-tuners, or seeking setup guidance for the compound-radius fretboard or spoke-wheel truss rod adjustment, should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with extended-range instruments and floating tremolo systems.
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.
