Schecter C-7 SLS Elite 7-String Electric Guitar - Blood Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Schecter C-7 SLS Elite 7-string electric guitar represents the pinnacle of extended-range instrument design, combining premium tonewoods, innovative construction, and cutting-edge electronics. This professional-grade instrument features a swamp ash body with stunning flamed maple top, a multi-ply neck-thru design with carbon fiber reinforcement, and Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups that deliver exceptional versatility from crystalline cleans to crushing high-gain tones. Built for advanced players who demand precise intonation, effortless playability, and stunning aesthetics, the C-7 SLS Elite is an exceptional choice for modern guitarists exploring progressive metal, djent, and contemporary rock styles.
Product Overview
The C-7 SLS Elite showcases a lightweight swamp ash body capped with a visually striking flamed maple top finished in Blood Burst—a dramatic fade that highlights the natural flame patterns. The swamp ash construction delivers balanced tonal response with pronounced midrange presence and excellent resonance, while the flamed maple top adds brightness and articulation to your sound. The arched top design with ivory single-ply binding creates an elegant, refined appearance that distinguishes this instrument from typical extended-range guitars available at Idaho Falls guitar shops.
The neck-thru construction features a multi-ply maple/walnut/padauk design reinforced with carbon fiber rods, providing exceptional stability across all seven strings and maximizing sustain transfer from strings to body. The ultra-thin "C" profile measures just 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the twelfth fret, making it one of the fastest-playing necks in Schecter's lineup. Topped with a smooth ebony fingerboard in a 12"-16" compound radius, the neck facilitates everything from complex chord voicings in the lower positions to lightning-fast lead work in the upper register. Twenty-four X-Jumbo stainless steel frets provide exceptional durability and precise note definition, while abalone offset/reverse dot inlays add distinctive visual character.
The Fishman Fluence Modern pickup system delivers unprecedented tonal versatility through active electronics that eliminate noise while providing multiple voicing options. The bridge pickup features a ceramic magnet for tight, aggressive attack ideal for palm-muted rhythms and high-gain lead work, while the neck pickup utilizes an alnico magnet for warm, musical tones perfect for clean passages and expressive solos. Push-pull controls on both volume and tone knobs unlock additional voicing options, giving you access to everything from vintage PAF-style sounds to ultra-modern scooped metal tones. The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design and Ernie Ball compensated nut ensure rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation across the extended 26.5" scale length.
