Description

The Schecter C-1 Ink Bomb is perfect for guitarists seeking bold aesthetics, fast playability, and crushing tones for modern rock and metal. With its 25.5″ scale length, 24 jumbo frets, and a thin “C”-shaped maple neck, it offers a smooth and comfortable playing experience. The Seymour Duncan new Alt Metal Blackout active pickups deliver aggressive, high-gain tones ideal for heavy riffing and soaring leads, while providing exceptionally smooth, bright cleans when you need them.

Combined with locking tuners and a Tonepros locking bridge, this guitar ensures excellent tuning stability and sustain. The ebony fretboard enhances clarity and articulation, making every note ring out cleanly. Finished in the striking Ink Bomb design, this guitar is built to stand out on stage and deliver uncompromising performance.

Stay in tune with locking tuners

The Schecter locking tuners provide reliable tuning stability, even during aggressive playing sessions or dive-bomb bends. By locking the strings in place, they eliminate unnecessary slipping and make string changes quick and effortless. Whether on stage or in the studio, you can trust your guitar to stay perfectly in tune.

Play fast and comfortably with a thin “C” neck

The thin “C”-shaped neck profile offers a slim, sleek feel that’s perfect for fast fretting and long playing sessions. Combined with a smooth ebony fretboard and 24 jumbo frets, it’s easy to navigate the neck for everything from blistering solos to precise chord work. You’ll have full access and control across the entire 25.5″ scale length.

High-output tones with Seymour Duncan pickups

Equipped with Seymour Duncan’s new set of active pickups Alt Metal Blackouts, the C-1 Ink Bomb delivers tight, aggressive tones with excellent clarity. Whether you’re chugging out heavy riffs or soaring through high-gain leads, these active pickups provide the output and punch you need for modern metal and rock. Revoiced treble delivers bite in a mix, with smooth clean tones and extra percussive punch with palm-muted riffing. The 3-way toggle and master volume/tone controls let you shape your sound with ease.

Reliable hardware for lasting performance

The Tonepros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge ensures excellent sustain and rock-solid intonation. Combined with the black hardware and single-ply binding, the design doesn’t just look great—it’s built for durability. From intense live performances to extended practice sessions, this guitar is ready to handle it all.
