Schecter Review: C1

History:

Purchase: Bought at Music Gear in Westminster, MD for 450 bucks.

What I Like About This Schecter C1: Cool finish on it. Headstock is a little different from the typical fender copy everyone does. Strong hardware. Stays in tune pretty good.

What I Do NOT Like About The Schecter C1: There is lot I don't like about this guitar. First the pickup have NO tone what so ever. The neck pickup and bridge pickup sound exactly the same. You can't play anything with feeling. It all comes out sounding very very trebley. (I guess that's a word) The neck feels like a toy. Any gauge string set higher than 10 will warp the neck big time. Don't let some salesman tell you this guitar can be used for anything. It is a heavy metal guitar and its not even good for that kind of sound.

Schecter C1 Quality Rating: Body is solid. Neck is very small and doesn't feel very strong. Fingerboard is not comfortable. Electronics seem to be ok.

Review Summary: I wouldn't recomend this guitar unless you were going to play only metal music and nothing else. And even for metal I'd suggest an ESP or an Ibanez first.
