MGR/Larry McCoy « Schecter Diamond Series C-1 »
Published on 11/03/03 at 15:00This surprisingly wonderful instrument is on loan to me, and actually belongs to the singer in my band. He picked it up at Guitar center for under 500$. I just recently joined his band and play mostly rock music. I came from a blues band and was using a Thinline Telecaster. Unfortunately my trusted Tele just didn't have the tone required so he tossed this guitar my way and I begrudgingly started to play around with it. Now, two months later I keep asking myself, Why didn't I discover these guitars earlier.
The first thing that I noticed was it's weight and balance. It is incredibly light, which makes it very comfortable on long nights. Additionaly, it is extremely well balanced, adding to its comfort.
The "Duncan Designed" pickups are awesome. Full, bright, and powerful. On my clean channel I can hit the strings softly for a nice clean tone or if I really bang them hard it gives a gritty natural overdrive. On my lead channel I can get really warm, creamy tones, just the way I like.
You get a superb finish complete with binding and an inlaid rosewood neck that has 24 (yes, count them) frets. An exceptional instrument for the price of a "plain jane" Fender or Gibson.
My only complaint was that the action was set too low, which gave a horrible fret buzz. But with the help of a handy, dandy screwdriver this problem was soon remedied.
This instrument is extremly well built, stays in tune all the way up the neck and is very pleasing to the eye.
For the price, this guitar is comparable to instruments that cost twice as much. For any musician on a budget (like there is any other kind) this is worth considering. Definetly an A+ .
