Manufacturer's Description for Schecter S1 Elite Electric Guitar

Schecter S1 Elite Electric Guitar
One of today's best looking guitars is also built to deliver the best playability and tone possible. The S1 Elite is a set-neck double cutaway with a figured maple top on its mahogany body. The neck is 3-piece mahogany with a 22-jumbo fret fingerboard and Gothic Cross inlays. Its Tone Pros bridge system strings thru the body for increased sustain and the fullest tone. Other features include Grover tuners, Duncan Design H101 pickups and abalone binding. The S1 Elite simply looks & plays like nothing else!

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

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Look, Play, Fall in Love."

Sound: With the duel Duncan made pickups, the sound is warm on all settings. I play everything from jazz to rock and this baby makes it all sound good. Feature: The features are pretty standard but they are built well and they are durable. I like the through the body neck and the pull knob that can change the tone. Especially useful when playing with a cleaner sound and you want to raise the mid tones. Quality: This guitar is just beautiful. It is solid and made well, but just to look at it . . . like falling in love. I haven't had it very long so I don't know how they hold up after years of play, but if feels way more solid than most guitars do new and I have a good feeling this baby will last awhile. Value: I find this guitar very comparable to the Les Paul, but it is lighter and sounds better, in my opinion, so compared to a new Les Paul, this guitar is a steal at the price. I wouldn't be surprised if this guitar get lots of endorsements and become popular and more expensive, so get one now! Manufacturer Support: haven't used support The Wow Factor: Like I said BEAUTIFUL! I can look at it all day and still be amazed at its beauty. It has a wonderful deep finish with the inlay all around. It has a classic beauty that won't fad out Overall: This guitar is everything I need. It is the first Schecter I've owned and I'll be looking at this brand more. They have so many beautiful guitars! I'll play this one out and maybe try some of the other models they have.

"Playable great sounding looker!"

Sound: I just got mine, and have so far gigged with it once. I used it with a 75 watt Mk III Spider combo, and was able to get the blues/rock textures I need. The sound was as good as I could have gotten with an LP. I am not sure how much I will use the coil-tap feature yet, that is new to me, but so far I am very pleased with the tones I am achieving. Feature: Like I say, the coil-tap feature is one I am not sure about as yet. I love the mahogany body. The neck is certainly playable, and the light weight of this guitar compared to say an LP is a very attractive feature. When yopu are standing up for four sets a night as I do, that is a factor. Ease of Use: It plays a dream. When I bought it, I had tried several other 'name' guitars, and they all felt sluggish, badly set up, just wrong. This was set up well, and I needed less than a day to adapt to it and feel ready to jam. Quality: Mostly well made, bu8t the knobs look like they will have to be replaced at some point. Value: This is a light weight alternative to an LP that looks beautiful and plays well. My initial reaction is that I would heartily reccomend it! Manufacturer Support: Haven't dealt with them yet! The Wow Factor: It is beautiful, the abalone is a stunning feature, it sounds lovely, and is going to be my first choice live guitar. Overall: It replaced a cheap Delta King semi that just won't hold it's tune and I am hoping it lasts a long time.
