If you're chasing feedback, sustain and fearless tone shaping, the Schecter Guitar Research C-1 FR-S Electro-Resin electric guitar is ready to respond. This model uses a lightweight mahogany body with a carved flamed maple top that looks bold under stage lights. A slim, three-piece mahogany set neck and Ultra Access heel make it easy to reach all 24 jumbo frets, so you can nail quick runs or big bends at the highest notes. The combination of a Seymour Duncan '78 bridge pickup and a Sustainiac system at the neck gives you both aggressive distortion and endless feedback, making this a strong choice for guitarists who want to experiment with sound and expression in live or studio settings. Lastly, a Floyd Rose tremolo keeps tuning stable even with heavy whammy use.
Searing Sonics With Infinite Sustain
The built-in Sustainiac neck pickup uses a unique driver and switch system to generate feedback, holding notes as long as you want. Switch it on and the strings vibrate, creating long, singing leads or ambient textures. The controls include on/off and mode toggles, so you can move from regular pickup to sustained or harmonic modes in seconds. This lets you create feedback without loud amps or external pedals, opening new creative options for solos and effects-driven parts.
Seymour Duncan '78 Humbucker Brings Sharp, Expressive Tone
The bridge position features a Seymour Duncan '78 humbucker, built for clear note definition and high-output punch. This pickup's voice works well for both tight rhythm playing and sharp, cutting leads. Its design captures harmonics and keeps the sound articulate even with heavy distortion. You'll get responsive tone that holds up under pressure and rewards a dynamic touch.
Floyd Rose Tremolo on the C-1 FR-S Keeps Tuning Locked In
A Floyd Rose 1500 series tremolo anchors the bridge, giving you precise pitch control for dives, flutters and subtle shifts. The locking nut and fine-tuners keep the guitar in tune after aggressive use, so you can focus on performance rather than constant tuning adjustments. Controls for volume, tone (with push-pull coil split) and a three-way selector switch are positioned for fast access, so you can make quick changes between sounds during a song.
Durable Mahogany and Maple Construction Built to Perform
The model's mahogany body, three-piece neck and pale moon ebony fretboard create a solid yet lightweight instrument that holds up to regular gigging. The flame maple arched top resists dings and wear, while the hardware—TonePros tuners, Floyd Rose nut and truss rod—adds long-term reliability. Mother-of-pearl block inlays and detailed finishing give the guitar a strong visual presence without sacrificing strength.
The Schecter C-1 FR-S: Sustain, Speed and Creative Control
This guitar makes expression easy—whether you're diving into heavy distortion or dialing in controlled feedback for ambient textures. With advanced tone tools, fast fret access and solid hardware, the C-1 FR-S gives you the power to shape your sound and the reliability to take it anywhere. It's another reason Schecter remains a go-to for guitarists chasing precision and individuality.
