Schecter C1 Exotic Star Customer Review
Sound: Tone, feel, neck, pickups, coil tap, neck scale, fit, finish, balance on the strap, look: all amazing. The best guitar I have ever played (or owned) by far. You can't make it sound bad, period. Plus I got it on sale, never played a Schecter before but this is such an amazing instrument. Go see if you can find one. This is way nicer than the c-1, ebony fretboard makes all the difference.

"Best guitar out there for the price."
Sound: This guitar is so much more than I thought I could get out of a Schecter. I've been a big Schecter fan for a while, but there sound quality has always come from great electronics that make up for lacking construction, yet I've never heard a guitar sound like this BEFORE plugging in. I was playing through a Randall RG200 G3 combo and this thing made this slightly-above-average amp sound incredible. Feature: The thru-neck construction eliminates the chance of a flaw in the most crucial part of the construction - where the body meets the neck. This feature should be sworn on by any but the most casual guitarists, its not THAT much more expensive, and sound quality goes way way up. My biggest complaint about this guitar is with its solid mahogany body, its nearly as heavy as my 35" scale 5 string bass, and thats heavy. Second, I would have liked to see active pickups. Its not that these are not amazing in there own right, but active pickups would have really tied it over. Ease of Use: Maybe it just needs different strings, or maybe its just my preference, but I'd rather see it have tighter, more responsive strings that allow you to pick with less motion. I want to barely have to touch a string to hear it. Maybe this guitar is more suited to people who pick with there entire arm and hang on to the pick with a lot exposed, but I pick with my wrist with only a tiny bit of the tip of the pick exposed. Other than the strings, which I'm not sure is the guitar's fault, and the weight, which makes long sessions uncomfortable, this thing has a certain X-factor in its feel that is amazing and really allows you to play better even when its still a little unfamiliar. Quality: The construction is solid, and my brother has only had it for a few months, but it seems good. I'm going to watch the out-jack on it though, because the one on my higher-end Schecter bass and my cheapy Schecter guitar fell apart a couple times a piece. Value: This thing is better than the C1 Classics at 100 more (the Classics you pay for the cool inlay pattern)and at least as good as the C1 Hellraiser (which is better than the classic, at least to me) You would have to spend at least 8-900 on an ESP/LTD, well over a grand on a Fender, or and probably 1.5k on a Gibson to get this sort of quality. The Wow Factor: The star on the neck is sort of weird. The finish (at least, the blue finish version) in moderate or dim lighting looks nearly black (in fact I thought it was the first time I saw it) but in bright lights, man does the thing dazzle. Get the lights shinning on the thing, and I can only think of a handful of guitars that look better. Strangely enough, even with its high-gloss finish its not as prone to finger prints as some other guitar I've played. Playing in a dim bar might not get this guitar any looks, on well lit stage or broad daylight, It should turn some heads. Overall: This guitar is pretty hard to find, or at least I've only ever seen them on the internet, aside from my brother's, which was ordered online. I don't really see Schecter making this guitar for very long, but given the chance (and the money) I'd definitely buy one for myself.
