Schecter C-1 EX Apocalypse – an apocalyptic baritone guitar
The Schecter C-1 EX Apocalypse RG is a rugged looking baritone guitar, and it really does look like the wood has rusted. Even the fingerboard markings are limited to a couple of warning triangles at the 12th and 24th frets. It is a quality instrument whose Ultra Access design guarantees smooth access to the upper frets and the multi-layered maple-padauk neck with an ebony fingerboard ensures that every note is heard and there is plenty of sustain. The curved body of the guitar is swamp ash with a dark black edging. The ebony of the fingerboard is extremely hard and gives the sound more snappiness.
Schecter's USA Apocalypse VI microphones, which feature Alnico-V magnets, are carefully thought out. The pickups offer an explosive mid-range while still keeping the package tight. The guitar spectacularly combines a 27″ scale long-scale baritone guitar, a modern low-string tool and an apocalyptic beautiful aesthetic that looks like it was saved from the end of the world.
