Members ILikeGuitar Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 How versatile is this guitar? I was wondering if it was made more for heavier, metal or hard rock type stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dres_x Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 I don't think it is on sale, pretty sure it's only blue and 3-tone sunburst. Yeah, just the blue and the burst. I saw the burst in person, its not bad, but gold hardware really isn't my thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brewski Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 How versatile is this guitar? I was wondering if it was made more for heavier, metal or hard rock type stuff it looks great, plays great, has tapped pups and you can play whatever you want on it. Rock - Metal, clean.

Members FinalHope Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 I can't really tell you how it's different from a Blackjack, as I've never played one. But I can tell you that the C-1 Classic is an amazing guitar for literally any style of music. Some minimalists don't care for the Vine of Life inlay but I think it enhances the vibe of the guitar. I'm pretty sure the radius is 14' because I did an extensive search on this myself a few years back. The neck feels like it was made for my hand, not too thick, not too thin. Neck-through design gives great access to the 24th fret, which I use quite often because its so easy. It is a great guitar for anyone. Except maybe the really hardcore jazz types that have to have a hollowbody. The Classic is the best feeling and sounding guitar I have ever played. I like it much better than the Les Paul Customs I've played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members germs Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 I used one EXCLUSIVELY on stage for about 3 years, and foolishly traded it away for an Epi LP Classic - a good guitar by all means, but I loved that Schecter. Anyway, here are a few things I noticed after some time with them: 1. 6th string will slip off the bridge if you play too hard or go above a .52 string.2. Splitting the hb's will DRAMATICALLY decrease your sound and actually, doesn't really sound all that great anyway.3. It's virtually bulletproof. So yeah, great guitar. I miss it. But no, it's not strictly limited to hard rock/metal genres. But no more than Ibanez, LTD, or Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ILikeGuitar Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 Trying so hard to resist buying one.... I can't afford to really... I've actually heard the same thing about the split HB sounding pretty weak I was wondering if the Vine inlay was abalone or mother of pearl? In some pictures it's kind of colorful and looks like abalone, but in other pictures (like brewski's pictures in this thread) it looks white and pearl. Also is there a cheap case that will fit this guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dres_x Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 The one I saw at the shop was abalone. Their site also says abalone. I agree that some of the pictures I've seen were a bit confusing tho. Still trying to decide on color >. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the other colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C1 Series fits nicely in the SKB Freedom case. Don't get the stock Schecter case though, it's crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hurtzher Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 Well, crap.....I have been thnking about getting a blue one. $499 is dayum good deal, IMO. Anyone know if the model AMS is selling has the locking Schecter/Grover tuners? On the Schecter website you can see that the Classic comes with Grover-looking tuners with a thumbwheel/locking mechanism on the back. Also, are the pots and switch worth a crap on these? I'm not expecting CTS or Oaks-Grigsby or anything...just wonderin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember, full size pots and a german made Schaller 5 way super switch. At least on mine from 2003.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members buddhapaugh Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 I don't believe you can "refute" MY experience Brewski! I wasn't speaking for you.... I was sharing my own experience with the guitar in question. It's not like I didn't try either! Shit, those guitars are SO nice for the money and have such GREAT features that I assumed I SHOULD like them. That's why I went down that road 3 times! (I have also owned 2 Blackjacks, a PT Blackjack, an C1 Elite, an S1 Elite, an old school Schecter Stratocaster, and an C1-EX Baritone that I still own). They are excellent guitar with great equipment on them. I just didn't bond with them for some reason I tried to explain. Others like them. Fine for all of you who do. Did I say how much I HATE the Vine Inlays??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dres_x Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 I think all of the new ones come with abalone. At least this is what my research leads me to think. I think I'm going for blue! But looking for more pics first...here are some good shots I've found so far: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cbh5150 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 ^^^^ The vine inlay don't look so obnoxious in those pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ILikeGuitar Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 The vine looks better with the blueAbalone clashes with the SunburstHowever MOP would look great with either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dres_x Posted September 19, 2009 Members Share Posted September 19, 2009 Does anyone know when the sale will end? Or how long AMS sales usually last? Has anyone dealt with them from Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
