    Schecter C-1 ClassicPublished on 06/28/08 at 08:52
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    As prcedemment say:

    - Guitar made in Korea
    - Rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and decorates a tree of life the most beautiful effect!
    - A micro Seymour Duncan Jazz (SH-2) in handle and a Seymour Duncan JB (SH-4) with rack
    - Bridge Set Tone Pro.
    - Grover Mcaniques
    - Mahogany body with neck-in stocky, the strings are also traversing. The table is also in the saddle and is the most beautiful effect.

    In short, superb finishes. Moreover, having seen the other models, the color appears diffrent on each table, making each guitar a personal touch. Mine is trans-blue color and this color is beautiful trs, while remaining sober.

    Rating: 9 / 10 All good on paper, but nothing…

    Rating: 9 / 10 All good on paper, but nothing is perfect ^ ^

    UTILIZATION

    First of all I am beginners, and I use it only for a month, so my advice is taken lightly.

    Regarding race, I must say I find it quite pais, but plutt pleasant because it is very well profile and polish glides perfectly, so no worries of the ct . Moreover, the ACCS is keen to rev right, first thanks the shape of the guitar, and also the lack of heel. It can therefore play dernires frets without too much trouble.

    In weight trs is bearable, I can not really compare with other guitars, but I think it is a balance, neither too heavy nor too lgre. In any case with a good strap no problem.

    The trs mcaniques take much agreement, though I attack the strings like a nag, a not move

    Small BMOL even when I do not know if this is from my guitar, or my incomptence for beginners (especially when I see a different view over the plutt positive), but I the impression that the Tone knob of trsractif is not, it's either all or nothing (just j'exagre = D but I find that even when teachers)

    For sound I dveloppe APRS

    Rating: 7 / 10 (for the tonality of knob: /)

    SOUNDS

    I use the scraper on a Super Champ XD, and I must say it is .... Total ecstasy. I think we should be able to do anything with that shovel: blues, funk, rock, jazz, mtal (with a suitable amplifier)

    A vacuum is trsmlodieux dj, and the sustain is good dj trs

    Once a branch is even better!

    The neck pickup is a real joy in his bright, saturated or lgrement. We can play tricks and hot round yum. on the other hand I find it a little too mushy in heavy saturation, a lack of precision, and the output level is lower compared to the bridge pickup which will be more suitable.

    Besides, it sends the bridge pickup sauce, and makes my amp dj saturated with lightweight crunch when not splitt.Il must be perfect for rock, hard rock I go t (amp simulations on vox or marshall the superfield yum yum), it is incisive, it's good: p. For mtal is also playable, but some can be prfreront of EMG, which sound even more prcis. Position splits, we get snapping sounds good without reaching the slamming of a Start or Tele, but still good.

    Rating: 9 / 10

    OVERALL OPINION

    APRS one month of use, I must say I am a little more packed every day. This is my 1st guitar I wanted to type in the very high end to make a good investment dpart the ds, and I'm not!

    Here we have a versatile guitar to look fabulous with a trs good report quality price! Even if I think dj buy more guitars later, I will keep it for sentimental value, its beauty and efficiency. In any case you can not go wrong by buying it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year and I can not get enough, this is a rel plaisir.je playing for 25 years, with the strato I felt limited by the split into single coil pickups and I get the sound of humbuckers play any style.c is by far the most versatile scraper I've ever heard, but with his personality it.The piiiiied quoi.ATTENTION if you try it you will quick hitch and you do lcherez this guitar is more addictive.

    UTILIZATION

    This guitar was purchased new and unplayed! When I opened the case I was happily surprised to see that mine had a much more colorful and nice looking inlay in the neck than the floor model I had tested out at the guitar shop, which was a stale looking off-white color. Mine has multiple colors and a lot of depth.

    The setup of this guitar was impressive to say the least. The action was perfect as well as the intonation, and only the pickup height had to be tweaked to my liking. Great job and along the lines of Carvin and ESP in setup quality!

    SOUNDS

    I tested this guitar with my Dual Rectifier (which was in stock form when I bought the guitar, but has since been modified by Dave Friedman and retubed) and my Carvin MTS head. I also played this guitar through a Marshall JCM 800, a JCM 900 and a Mesa Boogie Mark IV.

    Through every amp, the guitar delivered very nice, solid guitar tones. The Bridge position in this guitar feels nice and has a bit of an "airy" quality which I love, especially with the Mesa amps. I'm a fan of the Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge position, but I'm not sold on the Duncan Jazz model in the neck position. It sounds too glassy and hollow. It's difficult to describe what I'm looking for in a neck pup, but the Jazz is definitely not right for me. That's not to say that the Duncans are bad, I mean they are extremely popular and are preferred by many touring pros for a reason! Just not my thing.

    Pickups aside, the construction and feel of this guitar are great. With some different pups, I think it would be perfect! Throw in the ability to coil-tap the pickups and you've got an instrument that's as versatile as it is gorgeous.

    The guitar stays in tune very well also, which is a huge thing for me, being a lead player. I bend the strings a lot so I need a lot of stability!

    OVERALL OPINION

    As stated earlier, aside from the neck pickup not being completely to my liking, this is a near perfect instrument!

    The beautiful figured maple top, great feeling neck, quality components and versatile pickup selecting configuration make this a great value for guitarists of any level and budget!

    A good guitar.

    Guitar made in Korea, which has an easel type tune-o-matic (different from Gibson: less comfortable), the neck is maple, rosewood fingerboard and through: it's the highlight of the guitar.
    It has 22 jumbo frets and two humbuckers S. Duncan: sh1 59 'in bridge and sh2 jazz in the heats, they are good pickups, full of potatoes.
    and split by the microphones are microphones selector 5 positions. 1 tone, 1 volume.
    Another weak point is the frets or the key: my hands are blackened after quarter of an hour of play .. weird.

    UTILIZATION

    stick rather nice (different from those of Ibanez what I played before, but I adapted very quickly)
    in weight: Schecter could make a little effort when the balance: a round mahogany would have been more enjoyable on this point.
    access to treble is very successful because of the neck through.
    Well equipped, good sound is easy to obtain: it is a guitar to play DUROCK foremost and there the mahogany body makes very good job.

    SOUNDS

    the sound is perfect for my style of music (ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath.)
    sounds are primarily fat (body mahogany). associated with this guitar Dual EL84 Hughes and Kettner is excellent (this amp is designed for vintage sounds)
    the best sounds come from sh2: it is one of the best microphones in my Duncan.


    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for two months before I tried: the Duesenberg 49er (too expensive), Lag (1000 and Roxanne Morgan: too expensive) and various Gibson (too expensive)

    I got this guitar because it is the only one I could have used (in excellent condition), all others I've seen that new so beyond my means. without it I would have taken the 49er.

    This guitar stands still: it is well worth Gibson at the price / quality ratio.
