Schecter C1EA Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar with Piezo Pickup
The ultimate in sonic versatility! The new C1 E/A combines the mellow warmth of a vintage hollow body with the addition of true acoustic tone and clarity - courtesy of a specially designed RMC piezo-loaded TonePros bridge. The Duncan Design humbuckers and the piezo signal can be played separately or combined together for exciting new tonal possibilities. This is a set-neck guitar with a quilted maple top, mahogany body, Grover tuners and 22 jumbo frets.

Tonepros System II
Tonepros feature a couple of nearly invisible setscrews that simply lock the bridge to the mounting posts. The idea is simple, but the benefits are exponential: Solidify your bridge in place like stone, and it will never fall off again! No more worrying about scratching the face of your guitar or readjusting the intonation and action after a simple cleaning or changing of strings. Your guitar will sustain and play in tune like never before. Because these bridges secure solidly in place, your intonation will be much more accurate, and stay that way!

RMC Piezo
The Ultimate in Sonic Versatility: the new C-1 E/A combines the mellow warmth of a vintage hollow body with addition of true acoustic tone and clarity: courtesy of a specially designed RMC Piezo loaded TonePros Bridge. The Duncan Design Humbuckers (magnetic) and Piezo acoustic signals can be played separately or combined together for exciting new tonal possibilities! zZounds is an authorized dealer of Schecter products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "You won't find a better value!"

Sound: I usually don't write reviews, since most of the others put it as good or better than I could. I have a commercial studio, recording radio jingles. Bought this guitar used as a gift, not being told that it was technically the C-1 E/A, with a piezo pickup. After setting it up with 11's, (intonation,etc.), I can't believe the sound of this thing. It is comparable to my 88' Guild Nightbird GG. Further, the guitar has a top-end that--no kidding-- reminds me of a Richenbacher. Going (sraight) through a Twin, a Marshal, and a Mesa, it totally holds it's own. The possibilities for sound shaping are vast with the possible "stereo" option using the piezo jack. Feature: Running the piezo jack into a Fender Acoustic amp, then mixing the sounds gives you all kinds of textures. Ease of Use: Like a charm, just keep the piezo battery up. Quality: Very well made. The neck (to me at least) is roughly a cross between a Gibson and Fender. Very freindly, can't find a dead spot on it. Value: The value is unmatched. Best buy for the money. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with em. The Wow Factor: This particular model has a tobacco curly Mahogany top. No scratches or dings. Overall: Considering it was purchased as a gift, I truly hate to give it. I own some nice guitars, and this one will be my next.

Schecter C-1 E/A Guitar Customer Review

Sound: In a word: versatile. You can really get some unique sounds out of this guitar with the ability to mix the input from the various pickups. It is a great guitar for most music styles from bluegrass to death metal. Feature: This is a very well built instrument with some hard to match capabilities. You can pay a couple of thousand dollars more to get an instrument that is no more dependable, functional or versatile than this. Quality: Very well built. The finish is beautiful and the guitar feels really solid, but it's also light weight. The action was great right out of the box. There are a couple of "blemishes" around the binding, but for less than $700.00, I'm lucky to get binding at all. Value: Can't beat it. Can't even come close at this price. Manufacturer Support: My guitar functioned perfectly right out of the box. I have not had the need to contact the company for anything, but if their service is as good as the value, I'm sure they are top notch.... but I may be wrong. I'll let everyone know if that's the case. The Wow Factor: Sexy lines Overall: I'll never get rid of this guitar.. at least not until I get rid of everything else and move to the woods, or die.. whichever comes first

Style of Music: whatever sound good at the moment
