The Schecter SLS Hollywood C-1 is a high-quality electric guitar that impresses with its elegant design and versatile sound characteristics. The two eye-catching color variants give the guitars an extremely appealing appearance. The full-length maple neck with padouk and walnut strips, reinforced with carbon rods, ensures outstanding stability and sustain. The ebony fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets enables fast and precise playing. Equipped with Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern humbuckers, the guitar offers a wide range of noise-free sounds. The Schecter Nouveau Ergo Hardtail Bridge and the TonePros M-Series tuners ensure optimum tuning stability.
Fishman Fluence pickups are innovative, noiseless pickups with a Fluence Core, an active, multi-voice capable material. This allows for a versatile tonal range from vintage-inspired tones to modern, high-gain sounds. By eliminating traditional coils, they minimize unwanted noise and hum, especially at high gain levels. The integrated preamps improve the output level and enable precise sound shaping. Some models offer push-pull pots for seamless switching between different sound profiles without additional switches.
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 "neck-thru" neck represents a sophisticated and high-quality construction. In contrast to guitars with screwed or glued necks, the neck extends through the entire body of the guitar. A key advantage of the neck-thru design is improved string transfer and longer sustain. Another plus point is easier access to higher frets. Due to the continuous neck, guitarists can effortlessly play up to the highest frets without a neck-body connection getting in the way.
An ebony fretboard is characterized by a clear and precise tone quality. The dense structure of the wood allows the string vibrations to be efficiently transferred to the body, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with clear highs and well-defined mids.
