"Great buy highly recomended sweet looks and sound"
Feature:
the guitar came with an extra 1/4" mono amp cord, and a set of allen wrenches, for adjusting action, intonation, and truss rod tention, one of the features that i must mention is the coil tap, i really like it im used to playing a strat so its handy when i play something with humbuckers, it doesnt give such a fat crunchy tone but still really nice, the only thing i didnt like about the tap is that when it was active you get that strat "hum"
Quality:
this guitar is made very well, i played a couple different shecters and they all seem pretty high quality throughout the price ranges, the finish i have is wonderful(black cherry) it looks much better in first person but the finish is high gloss so it fingerprints very easily, everything is on tight and good to go, i use this guitar in studio and playing live sounds good either way, this is a very sturdy guitar with a 3 piece nece that goes through the body, i think that this guitar will last 25+ years, with work gotta replace frets every now and again, polish, and conditioning.
Value:
i got more than enough bang for my buck, this guitar is an awesome buy if your contemplating this purchase highly recomended
Desirability:
this is a beautiful guitar, asthetically aswell as electronically, its nice and balanced the neck thru makes it very solid, this guitar is useful for sound just as well as bragging to the guys, and gals.
Sound:
well the sound is really nice, great smooth cleans, its got pretty good sustain, it has a good distorted sound even on a not so high quality amp, (rogue 65 watt) but dont get seymour duncan and duncan designed pickups, the pickups sound good but they arent seymours.
Ease of Use:
the guitar didnt come with an instruction manual but it was easy to figure out, it sounded good runing through my computer too, this is a pick up and play instrument the inlays arent dots but there are dots on the side for some of the very novice players, its playability is rad you cant get better for the price, unless you buy used gear and even then its close
Support:
ive never had to contact support, ive only had the guitar since the holidays though, the action was a little high for me but that is a quick fix, i wanted to check out the electronics on everything to if it is easy to work with, and it seems easy to work with and upgrade etc. so im pleased with the set up but i dont think ill be needing support
Overall:
im not going to be looking for one for a while now, this my main guitar and i dont need an alternative if this guitar broke its probly because of my dumbass so ill just buy another of these, this guitar is once again very sturdy, i would like the crunch like the strat but i can buy a pedal for that :D i tried a gibson sg, i didnt like the pickups too hot, and les pauls are too cliche, PRS are too expenive, so this one suits me just fine.

"Close to perfect"
Feature:
Having 2 volumes is nice for blending tones in the middle switch position.
Quality:
Simply awesome - there's just no way to justify what Gibsons cost, for example, or PRS, when you see the build quality and hear the tone Schecter's getting for 1/4 to 1/3 the price. Mine has a superb, probably AAA maple top. The bindings are perfect. You do have to pick them over to get the best lookers, but quality's not an issue.
Value:
Again - price this guitar against an LP or a PRS - incredible value.
Desirability:
Absolutely the sexiest guitar I've touched below a few grand. The inlays, the flamed maple sunburst, the bindings - flat out stunning. People gawk at this guitar.
Sound:
Changed a little since I bought mine - my original Duncan Design pickups were based on the ceramic "Duncan Distortion" model - hard edge, fine for noisy stuff but not too good clean. The C-1's selling today have different Duncan Design pickups, based on the SH-2 and SH-4, "Jazz" and "JB" models instead - a better match for general use, and the one suggested by SD himself. I put real Seymours in mine and chose those same models with coil tapping for max. flexibility. It's a tone monster now - and the C-1's come almost exactly this way, just without the SD price! Better deal than ever. I would rate the sound only a 7 the way mine came.
Support:
Helpful in providing wiring info so I could coil-tap the guitar. Good to know: the stock pickups, even though not real Seymours, are 4-wire and can be tapped. Again, the new guitars already are tapped.
Overall:
The SH102 pickups and coil tapping that come with this guitar today make it just about perfect. Locking tuners and slightly lower action are all I have planned for it now - and there's no rush on either. I'm not likely to ever part with this guitar.
