Overview

An electric guitar with bold tone and striking modern design.

Built to shred and carved to stand out, the Schecter Guitar Research C-1 Electro-Resin electric guitar merges tradition and innovation in one striking instrument. A contoured mahogany body with a flamed maple top gives the C-1 its bold look and rich resonance, while the electro-resin burn finish adds a unique visual edge. The set neck construction offers smooth access to all 24 frets, making fast runs and expressive bends simple. A pale moon ebony fingerboard encourages fluid movement under your fingers, and the thin C neck shape supports comfort during long playing sessions. Outfitted with Seymour Duncan '78 and '59 humbuckers, this guitar delivers punchy clarity whether you're pushing heavy distortion or dialing in clean tones. Locking tuners and a TonePros bridge keep tuning reliable on stage or in the studio.

Tone Powered by Seymour Duncan Pickups

This pickup pairing gives your tone a real voice. The Seymour Duncan '78 bridge humbucker brings aggressive attack and vintage-flavored bite, while the '59 in the neck balances things with smooth lows and just the right touch of sweetness. Together, they respond naturally to every pick stroke and shift in dynamics. Whether you're stacking gain or keeping it clean, the clarity and range are right there when you need them.

Ultra Access Neck Design Makes High Frets Feel Effortless

No need to slow down when you reach the top of the neck. Thanks to the C-1's Ultra Access set neck design, high-position solos and intricate phrasing feel smooth and supported. The pale moon ebony fingerboard adds glide and grip in all the right places, while the compound radius and jumbo frets keep everything fast, familiar and comfortable—no matter where you're playing.

Reliable Tuning With Locking Tuners and TonePros Hardware

This hardware setup keeps your tuning rock solid without weighing you down. Schecter's locking tuners work together with the TonePros T3BT bridge to hold pitch and prevent slippage, even through bends, dives and hard-hitting rhythm parts. A Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut rounds out the system for consistent intonation and smooth string travel across the board. It's all designed to keep you focused on your sound—not fighting with your gear.

Durable Mahogany and Maple Build With Schecter Craftsmanship

Everything about this build speaks to Schecter's dedication to quality and tone. The mahogany body adds warmth and weight, while the flamed maple top gives it both style and brightness. The electro-resin burn finish offers a layer of visual depth that holds up under real-world use, and the two-way truss rod lets you fine-tune the neck season after season. It's a construction that's built to travel and built to last.

The Schecter C-1 Electro-Resin: Your New No. 1 Guitar

When your guitar looks this bold and feels this effortless, inspiration tends to follow. With standout tone, dependable hardware and Schecter's signature design DNA woven through every detail, the C-1 Electro-Resin becomes more than just a tool—it becomes part of your voice.
