MGR/Lou Ciaccio « Schecter C-1 »
Published on 08/20/02 at 15:00i bought this guitar brand new at guitar center last year for $420. i was oringinaly going to buy an ibanez but my choice changed soon! Let me tell you, WHat a great deal for $420.
THE SOUND! THE SHAPE! THE NECK! IT ALL! Its got a thin and fast neck. the ducan desinged pick ups sound 95% just like seymour duncans. The body is mahogany for great sustain and brilliance. and adding to the sustain is a great string thru body bridge. I got mine in electric blue so the top of the body is flamed maple and it looks SWEET! The tone is crushing. The tunners are nice and big(Grover's) and not the little shitty ones you cant put ur fingers around like the ibanez's have. also this guitar is light weight and still is a soildbody. Basewood guitars are supposed to be lighter guitars right? Well my schecter feels like its a thousand pounds lighter then a basewood Ibanez. Its a lightweight with great sound. This guitar also sounds awesome de-tuned. i play in every tuning from A to Standard and the sound doesnt get muddy. plus this guitar sounds like its over a $1000. i played this guitar over a a ibanez that is $900 new and it the schecter totally blew the ibanez away. I suggest if u want a GREAT advanced guitar at a cheap price this is it! I suggest if u want a great guitar at an even greater price for rock or metal(even tho the guitar is pretty versitile) this is the one to go with.
i wish they didnt put the same pick up in the neck as they did for the bridge.
the top strap knob keeps coming loose but has never falllen off or anything. this guitar can take some pretty good damage b.c i beat the shit out of mine and mine looks aand sounds like its brand new still.
An amaszinlgy great guitar! if i had enough money to have custom guitars made, Schecter would be one of the first companys i'd turn to.
