MGR/hammy brammy « Schecter C-1 Diamond A/C Guitar »
Published on 11/06/03 at 15:00Musicians Friend $700
ok, here's the deal..... stop being a cheapskate and BUY this guitar. Yea, its all that you've been told (quality, "snarling" electric, ""smooth" acoustic etc etc). But its really more.
What makes this a great guitar is the ability to plug into an acoustic amp (I have a Marshall AS50R) and a regular electric amp (I use a Fender Deluxe) at the same time. The result is astounding. You can (with the guitar knobs) control the amount of "acoustic" sound you get and the amount of "electric" sound you get at the very same time. Its AWSOME.... BETTER than two guitarists. SO full, so rich. When on full (or mostly) acoustic setting its actually a weird feeling to begin with. I said to myself - "WOW, was that ME making that sound?"... the acoustic sound I get from the Schecter through the Marshall amy is much better than what I get from a quality Epiphone 12-string with a good Fishman pickup. Very clean.
Yes, the quality ofthe guitar is there. Mine had a straight neck and (believe it or not) the intonation wasn't all that bad.
Value for $ is off the scale. Sooooo..... stop being a cheapskate and BUY this guitar. You wont regret it.
Not much. I'm more into older retro guitars (gretsch, rick), but this baby is a dandy. You'll have to decide whether you like the body styling. For me, its only ok, but the sound possibilites make up for any personal styling shortfalls. Currently (11/9/03) there is a backorder for the brown sunburst color. I gor fed up waiting and switched to the "black" and I'm glad I did. Its not a jet-black like a fender, but a transparent almost super-dark gray that lets some of the wood grain show through. Very nice.
Excellent. All the other reviews you read are true. Schecter is really on to something here. Grover tuners, fine finish, good binding, great balance.
So stop being a cheapskate and BUY this guitar. You wont regret it. Its worth much more.
