Schecter positioned the C-1 Apocalypse within its high-specification C-series line as a hardtail instrument built around an active-style pickup platform. The Red Reign finish was one of the colour options offered for this model. Construction followed a set-neck approach with Ultra Access heel contouring, and the body was routed for string-through-body stringing on an arched-top Swamp Ash body with black single-ply binding.
The multi-ply Maple and Padauk neck incorporated carbon fibre reinforcement rods and carried an Ebony fretboard cut to a 25.5" (648mm) scale with a compound 12"–16" radius. Twenty-four X-Jumbo stainless steel frets were fitted, and the neck profile measured a Thin 'C' shape at .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth. The 1.653" (42mm) Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut fed Schecter Locking tuners. A Hipshot Hardtail bridge (.125) anchored strings that passed through the body, and both the bridge and neck positions received Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI™ pickups. Controls comprised a push-pull volume pot, a tone pot, and a three-way toggle switch, with Hipshot O-Ring knobs throughout. Hardware was finished in Satin Black. Roman numeral inlays marked the fretboard positions, with glow-in-the-dark side dot markers. Factory strings were Ernie Ball Regular Slinky #2221 (.010–.046). The SGR-1C case was sold separately.
Owners requiring setup adjustments, fret work, or hardware sourcing for this model should consult a qualified guitar technician, as stainless steel fret work and compound-radius fretboard levelling call for specific tooling and experience.
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.
