All user reviews for the Schecter C-1 Plus

i got this sucker on ebay for $349.99 got thr black cherry finish ,thing kicks sounds so great

i love the color!! the pickups just kick..i like pretty much every thing about the guitar...looks and sounds beautiful...the inlays are a design of i dunno, but they look sick as hell

the only thing i dont lie is the fret board and the neck are not jumbo frets liek described its a little smaler, but thats ok it dosnt effect the playng its just a personal preference...

this is a solid guitar..very well built no complains..

well my final thought is that this guitar was def worth $349.99....prolly 2 to 3 times this..this thing screams and is a sick guitar

I purchased it through the American Musical Supply (AMS) catalog. I was looking for a step up from my $200 starter electric guitar (a strat-cloned "Cruise," if that means anything to anyone...not a bad little junker, although it was starting to go electrically senile). I paid $550 for it, with a nice hard-case and a cord.

It really is beautiful. The inlays, binding, finish and chrome hardware give it a pretty sleek look. Sounds good too; the bridge humbucker does especially well on distorted leads, and with the selector on the neck or combo, you get good clean rhythms. Also, there's 24 frets, so you have two octaves worth of room per string!

The nut eventually fell off! It suffered no abuse to my knowledge either. Maybe it's just a freak incident, or something, but I had to superglue the damn thing back on. Also, it doesn't have a whammy bar, which feels very limiting if you've "grown up" with a WB. And one more point: I am still not *totally* satisfied with the action of the instrument either. Even after many adjustments, it's not as liquid-smooth as some nice Strats I've played; at least, I can't get it that way without causing some serious buzzing in the upper 12 frets (those closer to the body).

I think the materials are good quality. Maple top, mahogany back, rosewood fingerboard, chrome (not a spot of rust after 3 years!). The two humbuckers are Duncan Designed. I should mention the tuners (Grover) are good, because they don't lock or loosen up like the cheap tuners on my old electric. I've never had any problems with the electronics at all, so they seem well done.

Not bad, but not fantastic either. Aesthetically it's awesome. Sonically it's good. Construction-wise it's mostly good, but has some issues. And as playability goes, it may be somewhat limiting to an advanced musician...but otherwise is okay. So, if you have some spare change, but can't buy the Cadillacs till you're a dirty, rich old fart, I'd say the Schecter C-1 Plus is a reasonable consideration.

I got this guitar at East Coast music mall in Danbury CT. The guy gave me a great discount, making the guitar $485, instead of $530, the musiciansfriend.com price.

The guitar is beutiful. Its 2 duncan designed humbuckers sound great, clean or distorted. The thin neck makes it easy to slide up and down.

I could not find any problems.

Mine is vintage sunburst. The finish is great. It is a one piece guitar (no bolt-on neck). I am pretty sure it is made of mahogony. The neck slides very easily and is very slim.

This is a great guitar, and if you are looking in the 500 to 600 dollar range, look at this one. It is a lot for your money.

I purchased this guitar from Musicians Friend for $530. List price is $750. I got it because it was a good all around guitar.

I love the finish, I got mine in vintage sunburst. The flamed top is very apealing to the eye. The fingerbord inlays also look cool. A "V" with a UFO looking object behind it. The thing just looks awesome. The Duncian Desinged humbucking pickups produce a loud and distorted and warm, clean tones, making the guitar very versatile. The switch and pots are very high quality. I can hear no crackeling when using them. The neck is slim and very fast, not like a some of the strats I've played. The fact that the neck is set gives it good sustain. The cream binding goes around the body, neck, and headstock looks very nice. Nice and light, good for the back.

Not mutch. The only thing I can say is that Les Paul players may find the neck a bit slimmer then what there use to, and the body is a bit lighter then a Les Paul.

Very solid. The grover tuners have no sliping or catching, and the pickups are very high quality. I've found a couple of cosmetic flaws. But nothing that you can see with out being nitpickey. I wouldn't worry about it falling apart any time soon.

For $530, it was one heck of a deal. It has all the features of a guitar that would cost twice as much. To put it in one line, I chose this over a Les Paul.

Manufacturing Coren, 24 jumbo frets.
Seymour Duncan Hambucker Design (a destruction)
Bridge Tun-o-matic
3-position selector
Channel al (sustain monster) and varnishes

UTILIZATION

I support Addagio in his praise. The right sound is achieved in any position, ds connection

SOUNDS

Ben Voil simple c

In short: c superb lens, round and smooth

In disto: c typ beautiful, worthy of the PRS or Les Paul. its fat but not boring

OVERALL OPINION

I did not (I just bought a PRS) but I will try at all costs to buy it before the next t because I fell in love ... littralement.
Basically read the notice of addagio is silent with me and he has played it a lot of tps what he says is true, without EXAGRES
A acqurir urgent before Schecter does ravaging everything in its path.

Here we go... the Schecter C1+ is a Korean made, Strat-style, dual humbucker guitar with a set (glued) neck and 24 frets. This particular model carries a fixed bridge in the a Tune-o-matic style. The 'buckers are wired to individual volume pots but do share a master tone knob and are Duncan Designed nut not actual Seymours (not wound at the same plant).

UTILIZATION

The only grip I have with the feel of this guitar is the finish that has been applied to the back of the neck. The guitar came draped in a beautiful black cherry stain and covered in a high gloss shine, but that was carrie dover to the neck as well. This can make the neck feel sticky and harder to slide notes or chords.
The double cutaway design lets a player's hands go from the first to the last fret with minimal obstruction and the frets are nicely dressed/crowned with no sharpe edges or dead spots.
Overall the guitar is well balanced wether sitting or standing to play. Not too heavey at either end and is comfortable for longer gigs.
The three-way pickup selector (and an overdrive pedal) can quickly dial in standard rock, blues and country. Even jazz and metal are not out of the comfort zone for this guitar if the player can adjust the firmness of his playing or stomp on a distortion box.

SOUNDS

I have used this guitar running through various pedals (Boss OC-2 Super Octave, Electro-Harmonix HolyGrail, Crybaby Wah Wah and a Marshall Jackhammer) and into a Laney GH50L head and cab. It really shines when the distortion is engaged but is still pasable in a rock/metal style when played clean.
Strings bend easily for lead work and stay in tune well no matter how abusive I feel like playing that day.
As far as favorite sounds go, I'd stick to the distortion/overdrive side of things and let either another guitarist play the clean stuff or, if recording, switch guitrs.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had this guitar for several year now. It was originally purchased to be a back up to a PRS CE24 for gigs and it has never failed that role. I have on occasion played it in rehersals and again, it always playes well.
I played this guitar against a few different Srat models (sss and ssh pickup configs) as well as an Epiphone Les Paul. I ended up choosing the C1+ because it was under $500, had the dual humbucker setup, and looks really nice when shined up.
I feel that this guitar could be a main axe for anyone who is going after a rock/metal sound and while it can adapt to the clean stuff, it's definitely not as comfortable there.
