The C1 Elite is another example of how Schecter is always pushing the limits, setting new standards with guitar design & value. This model is highlighted by incredible abalone binding on both the body and the neck. Check out its mahogany body. And the neck isn't bolted on, but set-in. Its 24-fret neck also features a jumbo frets, a rosewood fingerboard, diamond inlays at the 12th fret, and a 25.5-in scale length. Other features include Duncan Design humbuckers, chrome hardware, great Grover tuners and a T.O.M. thru-body bridge.

"Highly recommended guitar, sounds and plays very well."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I would definitely buy another one of these guitars if it was broken or stolen, either that or beat the theif to death with a brick. The coil tap is great for strat type sounds although you dont get that twangy sound like you do from a strat. If this guitar had actual seymour duncans in it would make it perfect (not that the duncan designed ones are bad, they sound great).

Sound
Despite having Duncan Designed pickups this guitar sounds amazing.

Features
One volume, one tone (w/coil tap) and one 3 way toggle switch, what more can you need. although i think another volume and a 5 way switch would make this even better. also maybe some locking tuners to be super safe but the grover tuners are fantastic and this guitar rarely goes out of tune.

Ease of Use
Plays amazingly well, the jumbo frets give you an unreal amount of control over the strings, also accesibility to the upper frets is VERY easy compared to alot of guitars.

Quality
The only thing that is "wrong" with this guitar (or at least mine) is where the neck pickup touches the end of the fretboard, this part of the guitar does not have the paint on it. This is VERY difficult to see, even up close, but its still worth a 10.

Value
The price on the tag was 499 pounds, I haggled down to 399 pounds :). This guitar in my opinion easily sell for around 750 pounds. read more

The Wow Factor
Looks amazing, I have the white one. I originally wanted a Hellraiser model because of the "real" EMGs in it, but i played this one in the shop and i took it straight to the checkout.
