Make a statement before you ever play a note.
Key Features
Mesmerizing Hydro-Dip Finish
The psychedelic custom-guitar style design is created using the popular Hydro-Dip technology. Due to the nature of the finish, no two guitars are the same—each C-1 Hydro-dip is a truly unique work of art. The Purple Obsidian swirl pattern, complemented by the double-cut body shape and satin black hardware, delivers incredible curb appeal before you even plug in.
Resonant Mahogany Body with Carved Top
A resonant mahogany body with a carved top delivers rich sustain and balanced tone. The warm, resonant foundation provides solid low-end punch, while the carved top adds both visual depth and subtle tonal complexity. Black single-ply binding frames the body with a clean, contrasting outline.
Versatile High-Output Pickups
A pair of Schecter Radio Active humbuckers dishes out everything from crushing high-gain rhythm tones to soaring leads with clarity and punch. These matched humbuckers produce a hot, articulate tone with strong midrange presence, well suited to rock and metal styles. Simple master volume, master tone, and 3-way toggle switch controls provide straightforward tone shaping.
Player-Friendly Neck and Fretboard
A fast Thin "C" rock maple bolt-on neck and smooth Richlite fingerboard provide effortless playability across all 24 jumbo frets. The 14" fingerboard radius and 25.5" scale length deliver maximum performance comfort. Metal offset ring inlays—including the signature "Hydro" inlay at the 12th fret—tie the visual theme together without cluttering the fretboard.
Rock-Solid Hardware
The string-thru Tune-O-Matic bridge keeps your tone tight and your sustain strong. Finished with satin black hardware, Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut, and dependable Schecter tuners, the C-1 Hydro-dip is built to perform as boldly as it looks.
