DISC Schecter C-1 Apocalypse, Rusty Grey

Full Description

Apocalypse-VI Humbuckers

The Schecter guitar features a set of Apocalypse-VI humbuckers, adding to the unique style of the guitar while delivering tonal carnage. With its unique tri-field design, the pickups feature Alnico V direct coupled magnets combined with ceramic 8 flanking magnets to produce a balanced yet aggressive tone, ready for musical combat. Able to produce a crushing mid-range while maintaining a tight, focused, articulate response, the Apocalypse humbuckers are designed to shake the very ground you walk upon.

Push/Pull Coil Tap

Whilst also featuring a push/pull pickup coil tap, the Schecter Apocalypse gives you a huge amount of tonal options. This setup allows you to switch the pickup settings from a standard humbucking mode to a single coil making it an extremely versatile guitar, excellent for live situations when an array of tones are required.

Swamp Ash Body

The apocalypse guitar has a body constructed from high quality swamp ash, making it lightweight, and resonant. The swamp ash creates an airy, twang tone that’s pleasantly sweet, offering firm lows, pleasing highs, slightly scooped mids, and an excellent amount of sustain. Also featuring black hardware and a Hipshot bridge, the Schecter is given a rust grey finish to create a visually stunning guitar that shows the natural figuring swamp ash.

Maple/Bubinga Neck, Ebony Fingerboard

The maple/bubinga neck delivers an incredibly rich warm tone, providing firm lows and a nice, soothing midrange. Carbon Fiber reinforcement rods are added to the guitar’s neck, improving stability and prevent any bowing that may occur from string tension. The maple and bubinga combination produces bright characteristics with a snappy attack, whilst offering dark, woody overtones with plenty of volume. The ebony fingerboard delivers a balanced tone, offering a very responsive, bright attack with a smooth sustain. The natural feel of the ebony provides a smooth feel, perfect for guitarists who enjoy playing fast. The guitar also comes with many other features including Schecter locking machine heads, 24 stainless steel frets, and mother of pearl triangle inlays with glow in the dark side dots.

String-Thru Body

The C-1 Apocolypse incorporates a string-thru body construction to provide improved tonality and sustain. This is achieved by transferring vibrations and resonance from the strings to the body as it goes over the hardtail bridge and passes through the body.
