Sprung for new guitar

Schecter C-1 Classic. Blue. Jb in Bridge and jazz up front. Neck thru. Sounds great. Incredible sustain and stop the presses...........set up perfect right out of the box. I am raelly impressed with this gtr. Has the same feel as a gibby neck and the contoured heel makes access to upper register easy. Love it.

aaaaaawwwwwrrrrgggglll....Ddrroooolllll!!

I fell in love with 3-tone sunburst...
Cool looking guitar... I'm on market for something neck through and humbuckers....string through, a-ha.. bindings.. Yes, solid bridge.. Grovers.. Shit... not overly priced either...

How's their QC?.. I might get one of those... But ain't gonna find one locally, so I might have to order...

Looks good!!

Edit: DAMN!!!!... The volume pot seems to be right under the bridge... I hate that on my Ibaneezers, I play right on the bridge for muting and tend to roll off the volume while playing with my pinky....

Gotta caution you on the Schecter QC....bought a Tempest classic white last week on Musicians Friend. Bridge needs adjusting out of the box, strings rattling. TRS jack was real stiff too, hard to get the amp cord in and didn't feel real positive. Other than that a good guitar, feels great, sounds awesome.

i love my C-1+. not so much in love with the stock pickups. how is the JB? that's the pickup i had been planning on getting for bridge, along with a '59 in the neck position.

Sorry to hear about the tempest; my C-1 came out perfect. Oh, for Jouni, the vol knob is behind the bridge. Such that if you mute you will clear the knob. Cool. I love the JB in this guitar, a friend has one in his Ibanez and it is jus too bright. This guitar suits it well. THe jazz in the neck is great. Also this guitar has the 5 way selector which allows front h-bucker, split single coil on both front and rear h-bucker in parrellell, inner single coils (split h-buckers) in series, split rear half of h-buckers, parralel again, and bridge humbucker alone. Sorry if that is confusing, for the real info go to web site and C-specs/wiring diagram. As you can see the wiring is versatile.

The fit and finish I would hazard to say is as good or better than many gibson I have played and owned. Yes I am gushing and trying to be objective at the same time. The guitar feels super solid and is very comfortable to play sitting or standing although it might get heavy after a few hours on the shoulder. I did find the longer scale 25.5 (i think) to be a bit odd at first but I'm ok now. I was worried that the longer scale woudl be too stif but it is just right, the strings are loose enough to bend well yet stiff enouhg not to overbend (my fault) or wiggle out from under my fingers. Overall the feel is between a paul and prs custom. Really. Highly recomended. I would buy another if tragedy should befall this one.

Kinda made up my mind that I'm gonna get that... 3color sunburst..

Now I just have to get the easiest way.. In case I can't get local or even Europe, does anyone know the best place from 123music, Zzsounds or musciansfriend etc??.. ..for ordering to scandinavia....

..man, I haven't had an "over 200-buck"-guitar in over 10 years..
..after the Heritage cherry sunburst LP... imagine the anticipation...
