Schecter positioned the C-1 Apocalypse at the high-performance end of its C-1 series, building the guitar around a set-neck construction with Ultra Access and a swamp ash body finished with ivory 1-ply binding and an arched top. The Carbon Black finish was the colour offered on item number 723.
The maple and padauk multi-ply neck incorporates carbon fiber reinforcement rods and carries an ebony fretboard with a 12"–16" compound radius, 24 X-jumbo stainless steel frets, and mother of pearl triangle inlays at the 12th and 24th frets; glow-in-the-dark side dot markers assist low-light orientation. The 25.5" scale runs from a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (42mm width) to a Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-through-body stringing. Both pickup positions carry Schecter USA Apocalypse-II™ humbuckers, routed through a four-control layout — two volumes (the bridge volume on a push-pull pot), one tone, and a 3-way switch — with Hipshot O-Ring knobs throughout. Schecter locking tuners and satin black hardware complete the specification. The neck profile is a Thin 'C', measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, and the truss rod is a two-way adjustable unit adjusted with a 5/32" allen key.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the Hipshot bridge saddles, Graph Tech nut blanks, or stainless fret wire — should verify dimensions against the specs above and consult a qualified guitar technician for any fretwork, nut fitting, or structural repairs.
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.
