Personalised multi-point setup included

Before dispatch, your instrument will be treated to a full setup. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability.

Frets

We start with the frets on your instrument. All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. The fret is then polished to ensure smooth string bending.

Truss Rod

Then it's on to the truss rod. This metal rod differs from guitar to guitar (some guitars such as classical guitars don't usually have a truss rod!) and basically controls the "relief" or curve of the neck. Not enough relief and your strings won't have enough clearance over the other frets when playing. Too much relief and you'll have a high action which gets worse as you go up the neck.

The heavier the strings then the more the truss rod needs to work. Proper adjustment in the workshop means that the action will be just right for the strings fitted to your guitar.

Top Nut

The top nut is super important and is one of the two open contact points of your guitar. The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high.

Saddle(s)

Another really important part of your guitar!

On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. This means the string can transfer its vibration properly into the body of your guitar.

For electric guitars, the saddles are adjusted to ensure your intonation is perfect. We will also match the saddles to the radius of your fretboard.

Bridge / Tremolo

The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.

For a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system or similar, the spring tension has to be just right to allow the tremolo to return to its "zero point" and keep everything in tune.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.... the choice is yours!

Intonation

Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.

Tiny adjustments are made to each string where applicable to adjust its length and ensure that the intonation is set just right.

Overall Action

Once all the above has been completed, the guitar is checked for playability and fine adjustments are made. This step brings everything together and means your guitar will be set up optimally.

Machine Heads

Every machine head is operated and checked for function. We need to ensure that the machine heads operate smoothly.

Electrics

All the functions of your guitar are checked to ensure everything is working as intended.

For acoustic guitars we will check the functions of the EQ system and controls as weel as check the internal cabling and jack socket.

For electric guitars, all the pickups are checked for function and tonal response. All controls and switches are operated to ensure they are functioning properly. The jack socket is checked.

Other Parts

All other parts such as strap pins, bushings, tuning buttons etc are fully checked.

Dispatch

All our instruments get the same premium treatment wether you purchase online or instore.

If you have purchased online, your guitar will be carefully packed ready for dispatch. You will receive a tracking link via email.

Happy playing :)

Description

The Schecter C1 SLS Elite Electric Guitar, here in Antique Fade Burst, continues the Schecter mission statement and philosophy they have sworn by since 1976 - to provide forward thinking, innovative and high quality stringed instruments for pro musicians. This C1 SLS Elite is both elite by name and by nature thanks to an impressive top quality spec. 

At its core the C1 SLS Elite is made with a double cutaway Swamp Ash body complete with an arched Flame Maple top. This aggressive yet beautiful look is then rounded off with Ivory 1-ply binding, Metal Knurled knobs and black hardware which shows the level of detail Schecter are willing to go to to make their guitars stand out from the crowd. 

For the C1 SLS Elite Schecter have featured a set screw neck-thru which offers ultra access to the higher registers. Crafted using Maple, Walnut, Padauk Multi-ply along with carbon fiber reinforcement rods, this neck is not only like a work of art but provides unrivalled stability. The taper of the neck itself is ultra thin and shaped to a modern 'C' for that desirable modern, fast playing feel. 

A luxury Ebony fretboard is also in place and makes up the perfect shredding platform with 24 X-Jumbo frets, which are great for those demanding bends and fast licks, as well as abalone offset reverse dot inlays and even abalone dot side markers for good measure. 

For the pickups this C1 SLS Elite uses two active Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, one with a ceramic magnet for the bridge for modern attack and another with an alnico magnet in the neck for crisp, fluid cleans. Select your favourite settings with a push pull volume and a push pull tone knob as well as a 3-Way Switch. 

Top quality hardware has always been one of Schecters key priorities since day one. For this C1 SLS Elite it comes in the form of a Hipshot hardtail with a 'String Thru Body' design, Schecters own locking tuners and an Ernie Ball Compensated nut, meaning every player will experience high performance and unrivalled reliability.
