Schecter SCH3338 C-1 Exotic
Combining stylish good looks and killer performance, the Schecter C-1 Exotic is an incredibly versatile guitar delivering a huge range of high quality tones whilst looking the part in any setting.
Featuring a familiar double-cutaway contoured body, the C-1 Exotic borrows from classic electric guitar design to instantly make you feel at home. What sets it apart from the rest, however, is the choice of tone wood used in its construction. A mahogany back gives the C1 a powerful, sustain-rich tone whilst a spalted maple top adds snappy, crisp trebles to the mix and gives the guitar its distinctive look - well worthy of its ‘Exotic’ name.
The neck is made from a multi-ply of roasted maple and purple heart and features carbon fibre reinforcement rods. It features a Thin C profile - perfect for lightning fast, modern playing styles.
The neck is capped with an ebony fretboard that has a fast, flat 14” radius and is fitted with 24 X-Jumbo frets.
The C-1’s beefy tone comes courtesy of a pair of Schecter Diamond ‘78 humbuckers - a standard model in the neck position and a Special in the bridge. These pickups deliver just the right amount of high gain dirtiness whilst still giving access to classic rock tones without any ‘fizz’ or ‘hiss’. These hugely versatile pickups are wired through volume and tone controls via a way selector switch. They are given even more tonal range by the inclusion of a 2 way toggle switch that splits the humbuckers down to single coil pickups.
Hardware comprises a set of Schecter locking tuners, which keep tuning rock solid, and a Wilkinson WVS50IIK Tremolo system that has a positive, smooth action for anything from minor wobble to full-on dive-bombing.
The Schecter C-1 Exotic is the complete package - an incredibly fast playing, comfortable guitar, capable of delivering the heaviest of metal riffage or the sparkliest of shimmering clean tones - and everything in between.To top it off, it comes wrapped in an Exotic, stylish design that few guitarists could turn down.
