Description

Schecter positioned the C-1 FR S SLS Elite at the upper tier of its C-1 series, building the guitar around a neck-thru-body construction with Ultra Access and a Swamp Ash body capped with a Flamed Maple arched top. The Antique Fade Burst finish and ivory single-ply binding defined the aesthetic of this South Korea-built instrument.

The multi-ply Maple/Walnut/Padauk neck incorporates Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods and an Ultra Thin 'C' profile measuring .748" at the first fret and .787" at the twelfth, topped with a 24-fret Ebony fretboard running a 12"-16" compound radius and dressed with X-Jumbo Stainless Steel frets. Abalone offset/reverse dot inlays and abalone side dots mark the positions. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and matching nut handle tuning stability across the 25.5" scale, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners are fitted at the headstock. The pickup configuration pairs a Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic humbucker at the bridge with a Sustainiac unit at the neck; the control layout — Volume, Push-Pull Tone, 3-way pickup switch, 2-way Sustainiac on/off, and 3-way Sustainiac mode switch (Fundamental/Mix/Harmonic) — requires a dual 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. All hardware is finished in black, and knobs are metal knurled with set screws. The guitar shipped strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046.

Owners requiring setup work, fret service, or assistance sourcing Floyd Rose 1500 Series or Sustainiac-compatible components should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with double-locking trem systems and active electronics.

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.

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.

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.
