Infinite Sustain Isn't Just Marketing Hyperbole Anymore.
Some guitar features sound like gimmicks until you actually experience them firsthand. That Sustainiac neck pickup in this Schecter C-1 FR S isn't another effects pedal disguised as hardware - it's electromagnetic wizardry that lets notes ring indefinitely through controlled feedback, transforming simple chord voicings into orchestral soundscapes that seem to breathe with their own life.
The Silver Mountain finish over mahogany body creates visual drama worthy of stadium stages, while that set-through neck construction delivers sustain that would impressive even without the Sustainiac magic. Mahogany's inherent warmth balances perfectly against the aggressive ceramic magnets in that Schecter USA Sonic Seducer bridge pickup, creating tonal foundations that work for everything from crystalline cleans to face-melting leads.
You've probably struggled with guitars that look metal but feel clunky during technical passages. This C-1 FR S solves those problems through intelligent spec choices: that ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provides silk-smooth navigation, while the slim body profile and thin neck encourage fast, fluid playing rather than fighting your technique.
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo represents serious mechanical engineering - a remake of the original blade design that handles aggressive dive-bombing without tuning stability nightmares. Those black hardware appointments complete the aggressive aesthetic while maintaining functional reliability.
But let's talk about what really sets this instrument apart: that Sustainiac system transforms how you think about note duration and harmonic content. Kick in the sustain circuit, play a note or chord, and suddenly you're controlling electromagnetic feedback like a conductor directing an invisible orchestra. Clean passages shimmer with ethereal beauty, while overdriven settings create walls of sound that seem to generate their own harmonic content.
This represents Schecter's understanding that modern players need instruments capable of expanding their sonic vocabulary without requiring advanced degrees in electronics.
