Schecter C-1 Custom June 2, 2010
D. Schimp (Indianapolis, IN)
This is a great guitar--got it super-fast from Amazon, as usual. The action and playability are excellent, and access to the upper frets is good as well. I'm a huge Schecter fan (this is my fourth one), and they are well known for building quality instruments with good components at [relatively] affordable prices...that said, I give this only 4 stars because of the following:
*The tone knob on my instrument was not completely secured, so it jiggles around a bit within the body of the guitar--but only if I intentionally move it around. Since I pretty much just dime all the knobs out anyways and rarely mess with them, this isn't a big deal for me, but it does seem like something that Schecter's quality control folks should have caught before shipping.
*There is a minor blemish on the top of the neck (by where the top position markers are that are facing the guitar player) on the third fret; the finish has a small 'bump' in it that I do notice occasionally, but again it's very minor and not a big deal at all.
Just for fun, I removed the back panel to see if I could tighten the tone knob myself but it's not as simple as you would think--I couldn't fix it. I probably could have returned the guitar and gotten another without any problems, but to be honest I'm just not that picky and neither of these items bother me. The instrument does play well and stays in tune quite nicely, and the wood looks absolutely beautiful (I got the tobacco burst color, I believe it's called)...it has a deep, rich color and texture to it that is quite impressive upon close inspection.
If you like Schecter guitars and the Fender body style, this is a great guitar that is very playable and relatively inexpensive compared to some of the competition. If you are also very picky about your guitars, make sure you give it a good look-over before you keep it because you may find a minor blemish here or there that would necessitate repair work or a return if it bothers you enough....good luck!
