SCHECTER C-1 STANDARD ELECTRIC GUITAR Black Fade Burst Burl – SCH3950

Description

Exotic Custom Shop Looks Meets Workhorse Reliability

The Schecter C-1 Standard (SKU #3950) is designed for the player who wants the visual impact of a high-end boutique instrument without the four-figure price tag.¹ This guitar combines the warmth of classic tonewoods with modern refinements—like a roasted maple neck—creating an instrument that feels broken-in and ready for the stage from day one.²

A Visual Masterpiece

The first thing that grabs you is the Figured Burl top. No two guitars are exactly alike; the chaotic, swirling wood grain is unique to every instrument.

• The Finish: The Black Fade Burst is applied with a subtle gradient, darkening the edges to frame the natural beauty of the burl center.³
• The Design: Unlike the arched tops of the Hellraiser series, this features a Flat Top contour, offering a sleek, modern, and lightweight feel that nods to classic S-style shredders.⁴
• The Contrast: The dark body is perfectly balanced by the caramel hue of the Roasted Maple neck, giving the guitar a sophisticated, organic aesthetic.⁵

Versatile Rock Power

The C-1 Standard is built to cover ground from clean ambient passages to heavy riffing.⁶

• The Core: The body is crafted from Mahogany, providing a thick, resonant low-midrange punch that gives single notes weight.⁷
• The Voice: It is voiced by a pair of Schecter Diamond Standard Humbuckers.⁸ These passive pickups are designed for versatility—they are hot enough to drive an amp into hard rock distortion but clean up nicely when you roll back the volume, lacking the “sterile” compression sometimes found in active pickups.

Premium Neck Specs

The standout feature of this model is the Roasted Maple neck.⁹ The roasting process removes moisture and impurities, making the wood incredibly stable and resistant to humidity shifts—perfect for touring players.¹⁰

• The Feel: The Thin ‘C’ profile is fast and ergonomic, while the satin finish on the back of the neck prevents your hand from sticking during sweaty gigs.¹¹
• The Surface: A Rosewood fretboard with a flat 14″ radius and 24 Jumbo frets ensures you can bend strings wildly without choking out notes.¹²

Built to endure

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. The Schecter Diamond Hardtail bridge is a fixed bridge design that maximizes string vibration transfer into the body.¹³ Because there is no tremolo system to balance, you can change tunings (e.g., from Standard to Drop D) in seconds without throwing the rest of the strings out of whack.

Why Buy the C-1 Standard?

This is the ultimate “bang-for-your-buck” guitar. The inclusion of a Roasted Maple neck at this price point is a game-changer, offering stability and feel usually reserved for much more expensive instruments.14 If you want a guitar that looks exotic, stays in tune, and covers every genre of rock, this is the new standard.
