What Makes The Schecter C-1 Hydro-Dip Special?

The Midnight Tide Hydro-Dip finish gives this C-1 a distinctive identity, backed up by a serious performance-focused specification. Its mahogany body features a carved top contour, while the rock maple bolt-on neck, black neck binding and satin black hardware give the guitar a sleek modern feel.

Schecter Radio Active pickups provide a powerful voice at both the bridge and neck positions, while the thin “C” neck profile, 14" fingerboard radius and 24 jumbo frets make the guitar particularly comfortable for fast rhythm work, bends and technical lead playing. A fixed Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body design keeps the hardware simple, reliable and stable.

Who Is It For?

The C-1 Hydro-Dip Midnight Tide is ideal for intermediate and advanced players looking for a modern fixed-bridge electric guitar with powerful pickups and a fast playing feel.

Its 25.5" scale, 24-fret layout and dual-humbucker configuration make it particularly appealing to rock, hard rock, metal, progressive and alternative guitarists, while the conventional master volume, master tone and three-way pickup selector keep operation simple and intuitive.

Why Choose A Modern Double-Cut Electric Guitar?

Modern double-cut guitars such as the Schecter C-1 offer comfortable upper-fret access and a versatile platform for both rhythm and lead playing. A 24-fret neck gives players a full two-octave range on every string, while the flatter 14" radius is particularly suited to wide bends, fast runs and contemporary playing techniques.

The fixed Tune-O-Matic bridge is also a strong choice for players who prioritise straightforward setup and tuning stability without needing the additional complexity of a tremolo system.
