Full Description
The Schecter Diamond Series C-1 Pale Moon in Natural Satin with Black Burst is a visually arresting and performance-driven instrument that blends exotic tonewoods, modern ergonomics, and high-output versatility. Built for players who want boutique aesthetics with stage-ready reliability, this C-1 showcases Schecter’s commitment to premium design at an accessible level.
At the heart of the guitar is a resonant swamp ash body paired with a stunning Pale Moon Ebony top, finished in a natural satin that fades into a dramatic black burst. The carved top contour and black binding elevate the look while maintaining comfort against the body. A 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk neck-thru construction delivers exceptional sustain, rock-solid stability, and seamless upper-fret access thanks to Schecter’s Ultra Access heel carve.
The playing experience is fast, smooth, and precise. An Ultra Thin “C” neck profile, 25.5” scale length, and 12”–16” compound radius Richlite fingerboard make the C-1 Pale Moon equally comfortable for fluid lead work and articulate rhythm playing. 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets ensure long-term durability and effortless bends, while Luminlay side dots keep you oriented on dark stages.
Tonally, the guitar is equipped with a pair of Schecter Brimstone-6 humbuckers, offering tight low end, aggressive mids, and articulate highs that excel in modern rock and metal contexts. The intuitive control layout—master volume, master tone with push-pull coil split, and a 3-way toggle—provides everything from full-throttle humbucker punch to crisp, usable split-coil tones. Anchoring it all is the Schecter Nouveau Ergo hardtail bridge, delivering excellent resonance, tuning stability, and player comfort.
The C-1 Pale Moon is a bold statement guitar—equally suited for studio precision, live performance, and players who want their instrument to stand out as much visually as it does sonically.

I must say, I've had enough of mass sellers like SweetWater with their extra fees for everything that should be included as part of a guitar sale. Drop Dee Guitars exceeded my expectations by far with my order, ensuring that my instrument was a joy to play straight out of the box. I eagerly anticipate future business with this store. They are truly a shining star! Excellent communication throughout the pre-sale and after-sale as well. Thank you!
