Diamond '78 humbuckers yield vintage tone with a modern kick





The Schecter C-1 Exotic Ebony delivers a decidedly vintage tone, by virtue of its Schecter Diamond '78 humbuckers, but with enough aggression and clarity to satisfy modern players. Benefit from the full gamut of tones ? the C-1 Exotic Ebony delivers everything from expressive cleans to amp-pulverizing high gain. And thanks to an additional 2-way coil-split toggle, you'll be coaxing everything from hard-hitting riffing to sweet single-coil-style bluesy tones from your C-1 Exotic Ebony. The guitarists here at Sweetwater love the thick and fluid tone of these pickups.





Ultra-thin neck turbocharges your technique





Pick up the C-1 Exotic Ebony, and you'll experience extreme playing comfort, thanks to Schecter's Thin "C" neck carve. This super-slim neck profile provides you with a major speed boost, making this axe an ideal choice for any aggressive playing style. And with the guitar's double-cut body design, you'll have no trouble reaching those high frets. Notwithstanding its slender profile, this neck gives you the dependable stability you demand, thanks to its robust bolt-on construction. Top it with a fast-playing 14"-radius ebony fingerboard (with a stunning Vine of Life inlay), and you're in frettin' heaven.
