"Get it now!! Don't wait."

Feature:
Again, the sounds are great. The coil tap is awesome, the Grovers, Tone Pros and the wood is outstanding. Excellent features. You will not find another guitar with these professional features w/in the same price range.

Quality:
It is built extremely sturdy. You can feel the quality of the build simply by holding it.

Value:
As stated above, I believe Schecter could have used genuine pick-ups w/oout a cost increase. With that said, you still WILL NOT find a better value for the money.

Desirability:
It looks absolutely stunning!!! The finish and color are wonderful. The pictures don't give this guitar it's do justice. You'll have to see it to believe it.

Sound:
Extremely diverse in sound. The array of tones you can achieve from this guitar are absolutely amazing!! The only reason I did not give it a 10 is because I feel that Schecter could have used genuine Duncans w/out a cost increase. However, the sound is still great. You certainly won't get a better sound out of any other guitar in this price range or $500-$700 bucks more!!

Ease of Use:
You can have a $10 amplifier, and this thing will still sound and play great. The neck is fast and smooth. The wood allows your effects to sound real crisp and clear.

Support:
Never had to call for help, so that is a testament in and of itself in regards to support.

Overall:
I'll never get rid of this guitar. Trust me, you'll never need another semi or full hollow body. You would be VERY hard-pressed to find a better sounding semi-hollow guitar.

"ABSOLUTELY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS TONES AND LOOKS. TIME TO SELL PRS SHORT."

Feature:
Nice thick semi-hollow body design and set neck allows for ample woody hollow resonance. Grover tuners and tone pros bridge keep the intonation perfect. Tapped duncan design humbuckers provide a wide variety of beautiful tones. Book matched deeply flamed maple top easily matches PRS 10 top quality. As good as this guitars sounds it could just as easily be bought as art.

Quality:
OK. Go to the store and litterally grab a PRS and the C-SH-1. The Vintage Transparent Red deep flamed top is definitly in PRS 10 league.

Value:
The C-SH-1 is clearly worth twice its price. There really are not that many great sounding guitars in this price range. This guitar sure makes Fender and Gibson look really ridiculously over priced. If mine were stolen and the price went up, I'd definitly put in some overtime and buy it again.

Desirability:
I went to the music store just to mess around with absolutely zero intention of buying anything. I have never bought anything without exhaustive research first. Well, I played it and now I own it. But really, how hard a decision was it. The C-SH-1 looks like a swim suit model and drives like my convertible Porsche.

Sound:
Absolutely beautiful tones from deep full warm mids and lows in full humbucker to nice sharp single coil tones. Magnificent design to enhance the semi-hollow body sound. This just has to be heard to be believed for this price. The duncan design hb101 are good enough to be keepers. Compare the sound of these pups to the real SD 59's. If you're honest, you probably can't tell the difference. Nothing I say could possibly convince you that a $600 guitar could sound like this. You really just won't believe until you play it.

Ease of Use:
Nice fast thin neck. Watch the high e. The palm can sometimes buzz it. Once mastered though, it sure is a cool effect.

Support:
No comment yet.

Overall:
This is just a beautiful sounding guitar. It's seductive gorgeous body is a must see. If this were lost or stolen I'd get another immediately. The only bad news in all this, well I don't have any spare time now.

About This Product!
Description
Schecter CSH1 Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar
The Schecter CSH1 guitar is an outstanding combination of a set-neck, semi-hollow body with f-holes and a flame maple top, and fat-sounding Duncan Designed HB-101 humbuckers. The SCH1 also has a TonePros Tom bridge that strings through the body. The Neck is 3-piece maple and the 22-fret fingerboard (25.5-inch scale) is rosewood with pearl split-crown inlays. Schecter tops it all off with gold hardware including excellent Grover tuners.

The Tonepros Bridge
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 our bridges secure solidly in place, your intonation will be much more accurate, and stay that way!

Schecter Guitars FAQ

Where are Schecter guitars and basses made?
Diamond Series guitars and basses are manufactured in South Korea, and 100% set up in the USA, in Schecter's Burbank, CA facility. Schecter successfully fuses South Korean efficiency with real American craftmanship when setting up your guitar.

What brand & gauge strings are used on the Diamond Series
All Diamond Series 6-Strings come factory strung with GHS Nickel Wounds. (10/13/17/26/36/46). Schecter Basses also use GHS Nickel strings (.45/.65/.85/.105) 5-String Basses add a .125 for the low 'B'. Schecter 7-String guitars electrics use a .056 as the low 'B'.

What are Duncan Design humbuckers?
Duncan Design pickups are manufactured by an outside factory to the exact specifications and manufacturing methods of Seymour Duncan. Unlike some import pickups, the Duncan Design pickups use Alnico magnets (for warmth & tone) and are 4-conductor, which means that any Diamond Series guitar can have an after-market mini toggle or push-pull pot added for splitting the humbucker for a cleaner, single-coil tone.
