MGR/John Doe « Schecter C-1 »
Published on 01/22/03 at 15:00I bought this off of Musiciansfriend.com for 420. Best 420 dollars I ever spent.
Where to start?...... Ok. The body, for one. The finish is smooth, and in combonation with the shaped maple top, is a pleasure to run ones hand over. The paint job is superb, its sparkly and changes from dark to electric blue depending on how the light plays on it.
The neck I still cant get over. It is the exact right shape, exact right size, exact right action. And the diamond inlays are a welcome relief to those monotonous dots.
Electronics are excellent. The Duncan Designed open coil humbuckers I cant tell the difference from regular Ds. They can scream, they can growl, they can sing, soar, they can do anything you can play. There is a single tone knob,which I disliked at first, but i found that the second is just not nesesary. At one end, the treble just soars, really takes off. The other, it is mellow without losing volume or character.
There are 2 minor, minor construction issues which bother me from time to time, but after fixing them both I have not heard from either. One, I had a problem with the input jack coming unscrewed, but a quick unscrewing of the plate fixed that. Secondly, the bottom strap thingy actually came off during a show once. The only way I can think of remedying this is just to make sure its never loose. But dont let these throw you off.
Apart from the issues I described above, it is built well.
BUY ME! This baby screams this. I HIGHLY recommend this guitar to ANYONE, be it a beginner to the recording artist. It is the best guitar I have set hands on that is not made by Fender or Gibson, and can even out perform them in some situations. It plays like a guitar 4 times its price. Nuff said
