Feature:
The coil taping is nice when you are searching for a particular sound to say the least it gives you more of a tonal range. The original Floyd Rose is awesome, much better than the licensed by Floyds (I have had several lic. by and a few "Real Floyds").
I love the active EMGs (this is my 1st active pickup guitar).
Quality:
Very nice quality, a true work of art. If it did not say "Korea" on it you would never know, the quality and workmanship is very nice.
Value:
A nice value, but I wish it came with the case included... it's still a great bargain though! I can always wish right :)
Desirability:
The Black Cherry looks totally awesome!
Sound:
This guitar sounds awesome running through my EVH 5150 III half stack, I "like" the sound of my Ibanez Prestige RG1570 but I "LOVE" the sound of this Schecter!
Ease of Use:
Easy to use, if your new to a Floyd Rose it is more difficult than a fixed bridge but no more difficult than any other tremelo system.
Support:
Nice to deal with, my guitar did not come with a warranty card so I called and they explained that all I needed was my receipt and I was good to go.
Overall:
I think this will be my favorite guitar out of my 3 (the others being a Kramer Striker, Ibanez Prestige RG1570)

Feature:
The Floyd is awesome. Actives make it sound brilliant. All around great components.
Quality:
Not one scratch in the finish, no repairs needed, and it still plays like the day I got it if not a little better even. Very little basic maintenance is needed to keep this beauty in great shape.
Value:
This is where the C-1 shines. Other guitars may be as nice and may have some nice components, but for much less than one grand? You cannot find a brand new guitar with the same features and quality as this one without paying a whole lot more than what this one costs.
Desirability:
Holy S*** is all that can be said about the appearance of the hell raiser. I have the Black Cherry finish, and with the black components and abalone fret markings, the guitar just overflows with sex appeal. Absolutely perfect in the desirability department.
Sound:
For high gain sounds this guitar is the best. It is easy to keep the sound very tight and articulate with it. I have a hard time getting a clean tone that sounds just right, but with some volume/tone adjustment it sounds pretty good.
Ease of Use:
Stringing a Floyd and tuning it is not as bad as most peoople make it sound. And everything else on this guitar works very well, and with out any difficulty
Support:
I haven't had to deal with support and I doubt that I will ever have to. I'm assuming they would be very helpful, but I don't really know.
Overall:
When I first started playing on a beat up used washburn, I decided after looking around considerably, that I wanted the C-1 HR. It has been the guitar that I wanted since I knew anything at all about playing, and it has paid off in full. The only complaint I have is a very small one, and that is that I cannot get the perfect clean tone in my opinion. It still sounds very good just not perfect on Clean settings. Other than that the Schecter C-1 Hellraiser FR is an absolutely perfect instrument, and at a very reasonable price.
