Feature:
the guitar came with an extra 1/4" mono amp cord, and a set of allen wrenches, for adjusting action, intonation, and truss rod tention, one of the features that i must mention is the coil tap, i really like it im used to playing a strat so its handy when i play something with humbuckers, it doesnt give such a fat crunchy tone but still really nice, the only thing i didnt like about the tap is that when it was active you get that strat "hum"

Quality:
this guitar is made very well, i played a couple different shecters and they all seem pretty high quality throughout the price ranges, the finish i have is wonderful(black cherry) it looks much better in first person but the finish is high gloss so it fingerprints very easily, everything is on tight and good to go, i use this guitar in studio and playing live sounds good either way, this is a very sturdy guitar with a 3 piece nece that goes through the body, i think that this guitar will last 25+ years, with work gotta replace frets every now and again, polish, and conditioning.

Value:
i got more than enough bang for my buck, this guitar is an awesome buy if your contemplating this purchase highly recomended

Desirability:
this is a beautiful guitar, asthetically aswell as electronically, its nice and balanced the neck thru makes it very solid, this guitar is useful for sound just as well as bragging to the guys, and gals.

Sound:
well the sound is really nice, great smooth cleans, its got pretty good sustain, it has a good distorted sound even on a not so high quality amp, (rogue 65 watt) but dont get seymour duncan and duncan designed pickups, the pickups sound good but they arent seymours.

Ease of Use:
the guitar didnt come with an instruction manual but it was easy to figure out, it sounded good runing through my computer too, this is a pick up and play instrument the inlays arent dots but there are dots on the side for some of the very novice players, its playability is rad you cant get better for the price, unless you buy used gear and even then its close

Support:
ive never had to contact support, ive only had the guitar since the holidays though, the action was a little high for me but that is a quick fix, i wanted to check out the electronics on everything to if it is easy to work with, and it seems easy to work with and upgrade etc. so im pleased with the set up but i dont think ill be needing support

Overall:
im not going to be looking for one for a while now, this my main guitar and i dont need an alternative if this guitar broke its probly because of my dumbass so ill just buy another of these, this guitar is once again very sturdy, i would like the crunch like the strat but i can buy a pedal for that :D i tried a gibson sg, i didnt like the pickups too hot, and les pauls are too cliche, PRS are too expenive, so this one suits me just fine.

Feature:
Having 2 volumes is nice for blending tones in the middle switch position.

Quality:
Simply awesome - there's just no way to justify what Gibsons cost, for example, or PRS, when you see the build quality and hear the tone Schecter's getting for 1/4 to 1/3 the price. Mine has a superb, probably AAA maple top. The bindings are perfect. You do have to pick them over to get the best lookers, but quality's not an issue.

Value:
Again - price this guitar against an LP or a PRS - incredible value.

Desirability:
Absolutely the sexiest guitar I've touched below a few grand. The inlays, the flamed maple sunburst, the bindings - flat out stunning. People gawk at this guitar.

Sound:
Changed a little since I bought mine - my original Duncan Design pickups were based on the ceramic "Duncan Distortion" model - hard edge, fine for noisy stuff but not too good clean. The C-1's selling today have different Duncan Design pickups, based on the SH-2 and SH-4, "Jazz" and "JB" models instead - a better match for general use, and the one suggested by SD himself. I put real Seymours in mine and chose those same models with coil tapping for max. flexibility. It's a tone monster now - and the C-1's come almost exactly this way, just without the SD price! Better deal than ever. I would rate the sound only a 7 the way mine came.

Support:
Helpful in providing wiring info so I could coil-tap the guitar. Good to know: the stock pickups, even though not real Seymours, are 4-wire and can be tapped. Again, the new guitars already are tapped.

Overall:
The SH102 pickups and coil tapping that come with this guitar today make it just about perfect. Locking tuners and slightly lower action are all I have planned for it now - and there's no rush on either. I'm not likely to ever part with this guitar.

Feature:
it has two volume controls which is more convinient id prefer two tone knobs but the one works fine, but it does have the single coil tap feature which is great. it sounds like a classic strat, put it on clean and youll find yourself experimenting with some chili peppers, mabye dirty it up a bit and you can blow out some yngwie.

Quality:
overall this guitar is perfect except for one thing. the jack nut came loose and me being an idiot tightened it without holding the wires inside so i accidently ripped the line, but it wasnt anything a quick sauder couldnt fix. but other than that once i tightened up the jack nut everything is solid. the neck stays in place, the humbuckers are tight it doesnt scratch too easily and its very easy to clean.

Value:
i bought this guitar for 499.99 and i wouldve paid at least 400 more the guitar is excellent and the finish is just as nice as any 1500 dollar guitar out there.

Desirability:
the guitar is very smoooth for quick action, the frets are small so your fingers just glide over it and the finish is just the most beautiful thing in the world its definatly a very sexy guitar. if i had to describe it would be a sexy foreign babe who doesnt ask questions and does what shes told. "youll understand if you buy it"

Sound:
the duncan designed pickups arent top of the line butfor the money they sound great besides you can always replace them with some authentic seymours or pop some emgs in.

Ease of Use:
the guitar was very easy to handle from the very begging i had no trouble lowering the action, the tuning knobs stay tight and never go out of tune, the guitar is made to flow and ur adjustments are quick and painless.

Support:
like i siad i did have a problem witht the jack nut but that was my own fault and i didnt have to contact the company but im sure they wouldve been happy to help even though i got a free year warranty on it when i bought it.

Feature:
This has everything you need.

Quality:
Seems well finished with no flaws

Value:
excellent value. This Schecter compares nicely to a PRS costing thousands more

Desirability:
Very nice and one would pick this out of a stack of guitars for looks alone.

Sound:
I own several guitars,acoustic and electric from a Gibson Les Paul Studio, to Fender strat,Martin, etc and have a Schecter Omen 6 in addition to this C1+. This C1+ is beautiful and plays as well as any guitar I've played or own.

Support:
Don't know since I really have not had an occasion but considering the product I can only assume premium service to go with the premium guitars they produce.

Overall:
Very satisfied, but then I own too many guitars anyway since I just like them. I have the cherry finish C1+ Schecter and actually love the sunburst just as well so if my wife wouldn't come unglued I'd own one of those as well.

Feature:
Perfectly suitable/appropriate accessories. No problem.

Quality:
Great quality. This is a beautiful, great sounding, and ruggid guitar for the price. I love it. I'm almost scared to play it sometimes, afraid I might "hurt" it somehow . . hmm . .

Value:
I got mine used, but nearly brand new and for a great price - but knowing this guitar, I could have potentially paid the full price - brand new. It's worth it.

Desirability:
It's right sexy, I tell you.

Sound:
It sounds great - Much better tone than my schecter 7-string.

Support:
I haven't had to deal with schecter support ever, so I rate their "support" a 7 by default, as I assume their support services are just fine and well . . 7 is my favorite number, see.

Overall:
Well, it isn't the best but not far from it. This guitar kicks ass and I highly reccomend it.

Feature:
I got the guitar from a local music store who gave me nicer strings, a soft cover case, and a lot of good deals on accessories. Both of the "Duncan Designed" humbuckers sound very different. You can get a very bassy modern sound, or a very nice vintage sound. It has a very smooth neck that is fast and has 24 frets.

Quality:
The owner at the music store i bought this from said that this guitar has as nice as a finish as any more expensive guitar. I find that true. Everything is sturdy, there's no string buzz, this guitar will last me a long time. I love the silver hardware such as the Grover Tuners.

Value:
I got this guitar for $569 plus tax. With the way this guitar plays and being that the list price is $819, I would say I got a great deal on it.

Desirability:
This is a beautiful looking guitar. I got it in blue. The silver goes great on it. The neck is extremely appealing. I love the dark maple.

Sound:
I've owned this guitar for almost 4 days now. It has one of the best vintage sounds i've ever heard from a new guitar. It gives a little too much bass for the more modern rock sound, maybe it's just my amp. Overall I love the sound of this guitar, I am very impressed.

Ease of Use:
This was my first electric guitar and I figured it out in less than an hour. It has a very manouverable neck that's fast and comfortable.

Support:
I gave this i 5 because i don't know if Schecter has good customer service or not. I don't think i'll have to find out. I am thinking about putting new pick-ups on it, not sure what kind, probably something by Seymour duncan. The music store seems to have great customer service.

Overall:
This guitar is best for rock esspecially 70's rock). It also has an amzing clean jazz sound. If you're a blues player, you're better of with a hollow body. For naything else, this guitar is for you.

Feature:
Nothing much here. I wasn't looking for much, which is why I settled on this little gem.

Quality:
Hey, so far I've had NO issues at all. Very well made guitar and I'm happy.

Value:
Paid versus List Price? I am stoked with what I got! There are some brick and mortars here that sell MSRP, and knowing what I paid for mine puts a smile on my face every time. The C1+ is WAY worth the money.

Desirability:
Oh, my Vintage Sunburst is eye candy for sure. The WOW factor is still the same today as the day it came in.

Sound:
I love my C1+, it's a thing of beauty! Nice clean sound, once I got it I was playing for hours!

Ease of Use:
It's a guitar. Put your fingers on and strum... LOL. No f'real, my C1+ plays well. Fast and smooth, frets are nice.

Support:
Haven't had the chance to deal with them yet.

Overall:
Handing out 9's simply because I cannot give a perfect rating knowing I want more, be it today or down the line I'm never satisfied. The C-1 Plus is a wonderful guitar though and I love mine.

Feature:
It does have Grover tuners, but what i like the most about it is the coil tap. A whammy bar would have been nice.

Quality:
I've had the guitar for about a year now and i havent had any trouble with it, but it came with a small blemish or two. In the future Schecter should think about not having them be made in South Korea. The guitar itself is holding up very well and i have had no problems with it yet, although the input jack came a little loose. I had it tightened and that didnt quite work, so i think i might have it replaced, which is not a big deal.

Value:
For the money, i cant stress what a good guitar this is. In my opinion it rivals many much more expensive guitars. I like it better than my friends SG and it can get almost identical to the signature sound of a telecaster. The range of sound is just so huge.

Desirability:
I have the blue version of this guitar and it is SO pretty. The pearl inlay is so good. Ive had so many compliments on it, sometimes i wish i had a see through case to carry it around in so peaople could see it. Everything about it is so well done and so good looking. If im trying to show off my skills to girls i want to play this guitar because it is so good looking. When showing off, you not only want to have skills but good looks as well!

Sound:
The sound of this guitar is VERY good for the money. On clean it sounds really warm and smooth, while on distortion you can go from extremely heavy thrashing to a smooth and melodic tone- the sound is endless. The coil tap is great, i find that if i keep the pickups together while it is on it sounds almost exactly like a tele. One of my good friends owns a Gibson SG, and to tell you the truth i just like the sound of my Schecter better than the SG, though the sound of the SG is very good. I find that the guitar sounds best on a Marshall amp. The pickups are very good, but are not top of the line. i havent found the need to replace mine with anything else because they do sound very good anyway.

Ease of Use:
just plug it in and play.

Support:
I havent had to deal with the company yet.

Overall:
Im so happy with this guitar. If something bad happened where it broke or something i would buy it again in a heartbeat. This guitar is a keeper.

Feature:
Tone knob really SUCKS, it barely works to lessen the bite of this guitar, so its not really great for Jazz applications where you need to turn your tone way down. Other than the tone knob lacking, this guitar has great features. It's lightweight for a solid body, thin neck to really make playing a breeze, and though the sustain isn't naturally great, thats quickly remedied with the correct overdrive peadal. Push-pull knob is a great feature, almost like having an overdrive pedal on your guitar for an extre +5 db of sound when you need it. I like to set up the guitar on my peavey's distortion channel, dial in a little distortion with the coil untapped, and push the tap down when I need to really get some crunch. Completely different sound and feel when it is tapped, and very useful

Quality:
Finish isn't the great quality, but they hardware (aside from pickups) is pretty top notch. Grover pickups on mine were a little stiff, but they loosened up with time, and work great.

Value:
I think it's a great guitar for the price. Make sure you try it out first though. It's not a fender strat sound, and its not a les paul sound, make sure its for you.

Desirability:
This guitar is often complimented for its looks. Wine red finish, chrome detail on hardware, and the inlays are all real sharp looking.

Sound:
A very good and clear sound when played clean, low end bass comes in a little too low when your tone is turned down and you are playing on the low-e string. Very crisp otherwise. When played dirty, it's tough not to get a good sound out of the bridge pickup, very Led Zep. Bridge pickup good with a little crunch, but becomes muddy when played with heavy distortion. Probably because of the lightweight design and skinny neck, the natural sustain isn't very good at all on this guitar. I suggest using overdrive pedal for better sustain on solos. If I were to replace one thing on this guitar, I'd switch out the stock pickups with a Seymour Duncan jazz setup in the neck and bridge. Don't get me wrong, it sounds good, but still lacking. GREAT for the price.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use and fun to play. Has a very simple sound to it, which you can build on endlessly with the right efx. Very easy to pick up and start using. Eveyone i've had play this guitar picked it up and got used to it very quickly. Very skinny neck = very playable guitar.

Overall:
A great guitar for the price that feels and plays differently (and I think better) than any other strat of gibson i've ever played. More like a poor man's PRS, if anything. Looks good, sounds good, and plays great. I think its great for players who are looking to get a second guitar, replace their first (usually really crappy) guitar.

Value:
This product was well worth the money.
