With the SCHECTER C-1 Hydro Dip, SCHECTER presents an instrument that perfectly combines aesthetics and performance. The visual focal point is undoubtedly the fascinating “Hydro Dip” finish, which gives each guitar a distinctive pattern. This exclusive finish harmonizes perfectly with the modern double-cut body shape and the elegant, satin-black hardware.
The C-1 Hydro Dip also impresses in terms of tone. Equipped with two SCHECTER “Radio Active” humbuckers, it delivers a powerful and versatile sound that’s particularly at home in hard rock and metal. When it comes to playability, SCHECTER sets the standard: the ergonomic “Thin C” neck profile and the durable Richlite fingerboard with a 14-inch radius ensure an incredibly comfortable playing experience that musicians of all genres will appreciate.
Schecter produces both time-honored replicas and contemporary single coils and humbucker pickups. All pickups from A for “Apocalypse” to Z for “Z Plus” are produced in the USA. From vintage to ultra-hot sounds, from six to eight strings, Schecter has the right pickup for everyone.
The Tune-O-Matic Bridge consists of a fixed base and individually adjustable saddles that allow the guitarist to precisely adjust the string height and intonation. This contributes to improved playability and tuning stability. The strings are passed through the body of the guitar via the saddles. This "string thru body" design provides increased string vibration and contributes to the guitar's resonance and sustain.
Locking tuners are specifically designed to increase tuning stability while making string changes easier. The main difference from traditional tuners is the way the strings are attached. With locking tuners, the string is not only wrapped around the mechanism, but also secured by a locking system. This system consists of a small clamping mechanism or screw that holds the string in place.
A maple fretboard has a bright sound characteristic. Maple is a hard and dense wood. It is characterized by clear highs and a pronounced assertiveness. The dense structure of maple wood allows the string vibrations to be transmitted precisely to the guitar body, resulting in a brilliant and assertive tone.
