Schecter C-1 XXX

The first reviewer has covered the features well.

I play metal/funk styles and this guitar compliments anything I do.
I use a metalzone through a marshall and it sounds wonderful.
This axe is one of the best I've ever touched.
I love it and my girlfriend is jealous of it.

The sales person told me that the intonation is set at the factory.
I doubt it but oh well.. I bought the guitar anyway.
There was a small crack on top of the fret board probably from shipping. But I really can't complain about this beauty. I love this guitar.

The only problem I've had was with the top string coming out of place and getting stuck on the lip of the pickups. It happened on our first song and it took me 2 songs before I realized the string wasn't in the right place.
I've scratched the back of the guitar up and I use wax on the finish to prevent scratches. So far it is holding up well.
I don't use any special strap locks and the strap stays on.
I love this guitar. It has became my #1 axe but always bring backup.

I've been playing guitar for 22 years.
I've had the same BC Rich guitar for 17 years and this is the first guitar that feels better.
I would set the world on fire if it got stolen.
I compared it to just about everything in the store.
I picked this one because of the overall sexiness of it.
I wish it had a twin sister.
If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm in love with this guitar.

I saw this hot axe and needed to buy it right there (i wasn't planning on buying a guitar that day, i just needed some strings). If anyone else out there has any information on this guitar email me at brian@neroband.com because I cant find anything. I am relying on Schecter's C-1 Elite description as Schecter doesn't show this guitar on their website. The sales rep at the guitar center told me its only the second one hes has ever seen since they started carrying schecter.

This guitar is extremely versitile. The pickups have a relativly high output which is great for hard rock players or metal heads. The pickups have great tone and sound great for korean seymour duncan wannabes. The pickups can be tapped as well by pulling out the tone knob for that single coil sound. This also decreases the output level. With so many pickup combinations this guitar can play any sytle of music and sound great. Clean or dirty, the guitar is great.
I played this guitar on a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, Single Rectifier, and a Peavey combo amp w/ a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Pedal. THe guitar retained it tone and clarity on all the setups. It sustains well thanks to the TonePros bridge and the fact that the strings achor in the body of the guitar. It sounds for the most part very very very similar to the Schecter c-1 elite except it is a little brighter and punchier because of the bare pickups versus the C-1 Elite's covered pickups. I play all kinds of music and this guitar truly can adapt to fit all of my musical needs.

The guitar was flawlessly setup when I bought it. The action was smooth and low. The pickups were setup perfect, as well as the rest of the guitar. I can't find any cosmetic flaws on it either. Its hard to believe this guitar was imported from Korea. Schecter is amazing.
The thing that truly stucks out about the guitar is the stunning inlays on the neck. Instead of boring dots the guitar is fitted with hot girls in various poses. All the hardware looks geat and the black finish is very sleek. The truss rod cover bears the letters "XXX". The guitar is appropriatly named for its inlays.

I just bought it so I cannot tell exactly. However, the guitar bears the same exactly body, neck, and hardware as the Schecter C-1 Elite which I have owned for a year now. The finish is rock solid and puts up with alot of abuse. I play out every weekend and i have no mercy on my guitar. It is in beautiful condition with only minor scratches on the rear from my belt buckle (tip: wear your belt backwards when you play...). The guitar is truly road-worthy. I dont doubt that my C-1 XXX will be the same.

Schecter is such a great company. Despite their rapid growth recently, they are very down to earth and I was suprised to actually receive emails back from them when I had questions. Under warranty they will replace defective or worn parts if you have the origional receipt from the purchase. They are great people and aren't looking to screw you over.

If it was stolen I would cry because its a limited edition guitar. You wont see this guitar on Schecter's website or catalog. I have yet to see one on ebay either. I love everything about this guitar. It is basically exactly the same as the C-1 Elite except for cosmetic differences and the extra volume knob. This guitar rules. If you see it, buy it. You wont regret it. Schecter makes consistantly great guitars, for a great price. I havne't played a better imported guitar.
