Is the Schecter C1 SLS Elite A Modern Classic Guitar?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Dude, so awesome! This guitar is great man!

[@LonelyRocker]

Thanks man! This guitar is definitely a contender!

[@onesandzeros]

Very nice review and demo, thank you. It was nice to hear the clean sound of those pickups. If i could play one of these in a store, it would probably be a risk to my wallet :)

[@LonelyRocker]

Thanks!! Based on my experience you'd be taking it home ;) Watch the finale of this series...

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

They are pretty good. I have a 7 string SLS. Swapped in Tosin Fishmans and it slays.

[@LonelyRocker]

Nice! I have one more to try before I make a decision. Any guesses?

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

@@LonelyRocker If it were me I would pick the RGD or the SLS. Both have fishmans (that can you swap to other fishmans or EMGs if you dont like the moderns), but the SLS does have stainless frets and locking tuners. Depends on if you want the evertune bridge (which honestly is isnt for everyone).

[@LonelyRocker]

@@LucasLeCompteMusic The Ibanez is on the bench as we speak..stay tuned!

[@AllMetalReview]

Love this guitar but in the end went with the ltd because of the reverse headstock. Both spec'd almost the same. The SLS elite just came out with a red and it looks killer. The solo apocalypse is gonna be my next Schecter. Great video man

[@LonelyRocker]

Thanks so much! I’ve had my eye on the LTD as well. Who says it has to end here!!! One more guitar to spec before I decide. Ibanez with an Evertune ip next. Stay tuned 😎

[@cloudysanchito]

Which LTD is that?

[@AllMetalReview]

@@cloudysanchito ltd m1000ht

[@cloudysanchito]

@@AllMetalReview Damn, that's a good one as well. I have been looking at the SN1000ht Fire Blast. Very similar specs. Trying to decide between that and the C1.

[@AllMetalReview]

@@cloudysanchito I looked at the sn. I wanted a neck thru design vs a bolt on. So ended up with the ltd. I recently picked up a schecter mach 6. It's on a whole other level. Amazing feel and quality

[@mykuntstynx9463]

So it was this video that cinched my decision on getting a Schecter. I was seriously considering the same PRS you were looking at until I saw the Evil Twin. I went with the Evil Twin with the Floyd 1,500 Sustainiac Satin black Thanks for shopping for me bud

[@LonelyRocker]

Sweet!!! Schecter should give me a kick back ;))))). Glad you found your axe. Enjoy it!!!!!

that is a beautiful guitar man, good for u

[@mykuntstynx9463]

@@LonelyRocker I’m late here. I agree. And it’s it’s the most badass guitar I’ve ever owned.

[@mykuntstynx9463]

@@vice.- I just tuned it to B standard a few days ago. I expected to have to do a truss rod adjustment but that wasn’t necessary. The Sustainiac is such a blast

Awesome! Thnx Dave!

[@CurtisZondag]

Sick playing and mixing. I’m on the fence about this series.

[@LonelyRocker]

Thanks so much. What is it about the series that you are not feeling? Just curious.

[@CurtisZondag]

@@LonelyRocker just the colours, but the specs are insane.

[@xplanet2112]

I think this guitar is going to end up as a bit of a legend in the high gain guitar legendarium like the RG7620 or the Ibanez Universe Green Dot.

[@LonelyRocker]

It's definitely a good candidate. I'm curious how it holds up over time....time will tell!!

[@mattnelson8325]

I just found your channel. Excellent content Sir. I have the new Blood Burst color version coming this week. New Guitar Day!! 2 questions: I love the Graphtech Ratio Locking Tuners for upgrades, your thoughts? 2: What specifically is the name and version of the Engl Fireball 2 and cab that you use. I am a huge Schecter fan and that amp just sounds great. Thanks for everything. New subscriber now. Thanks for all of your hard work.

[@mattnelson8325]

Nevermind, I see all the links in the description. Got my dumb move of the day outta the way now. Playing through a Boss Katana Artist MkII right now and I love it. I'm also using Stringjoys out of Nashville for my strings. 10-13.5-20w-28-38-50. The wound 3rd is fantastic, so are the strings. You can select your own gauges for the same price.

[@LonelyRocker]

Thanks for checking me out! Sweet about the Blood Burst. Excited for you! Enjoy that. Thanks for the tip on Graphtech. I haven’t swapped out the tuners yet but shopping now for them. I’ll give those a look too. Glad you hopped on board. Hope to hear from you again in another video!

[@sonnyblack3877]

I own 2 of the C-1 SLS Elites. The EvilTwin and Bloodburst. Love them.

[@LonelyRocker]

Awesome!! Great guitars.....

[@WillyhoweGuitar]

Great Guitars these! The quality on these is amazing. And really well spec’d hardware for the money! I had the C7 and truth be told I really wanted to love it but I just didn’t.. I can’t speak much on the 6 string but with the 7 I really did not like the weight of it.. It was almost as heavy as my Les Paul. It just didn’t feel like a modern metal guitar in that aspect compared to others like Jackson, ESP and Ibanez.

[@LonelyRocker]

You should check out the follow up I did on this guitar more recently.

[@nickwith-seidelin5716]

Really great review. Love the incorporation of the sales staff at L&M. Loved seeing that as a fellow Canadian. Did you find the neck shape on this guitar to be overly flat (kind of like the Ibanez wizard necks)? Cheers!

[@LonelyRocker]

Thank you so much! Yes, I'm here to represent Canada the best I can and L&M is a HUGE part of that. Considering the neck is called "Ultra" thin I was surprised that it still has enough meat on it. Still a little bit of a curve that I could call it a soft D and not too flat in my opinion.

[@nickwith-seidelin5716]

@@LonelyRocker Awesome. Super helpful. Appreciate the response 👍🏼

[@cbsaulren]

Imo the pickups are the only down side to this guitar. The neck and fretwork are superb. I wish it was tung oil instead of a gloss finish on the neck. FYI you can rewire the pickups for splitting if you would rather have it instead of the active/passive or v1/v2. I did and was pleasantly surprised.

[@LonelyRocker]

I know there are different opinions about those pickups. For em they are different than anything I currently have so they work really well for me. Yes, I know I can rewire the pickups but was comparing stock configs for the videos. Thanks for watching!

[@cbsaulren]

@@LonelyRocker I figured as much I just wanted to let you know in case you were interested in reconfiguring the pickups ... Especially now that you're a proud owner of one! I complain about the fluence moderns only because they lack the full roundness of a passive alnico 5 or something similar, but I do admit for lead tones they do a really good job of cutting through the mix without much EQ. Cheers and thanks for the reply!

[@dougkidder9069]

12x16 compound hmmm - I've toyed with the idea of that. Pickup selector switch = blade (this new flam-dangled terminology - lol), the more I learn the more I realize how little I know. Impressive - but still leaning into versatility (if it were for me - that is). But funny thing is - a neck can change everything.

[@LonelyRocker]

I really am discovering so many new things doing this. That neck is going to be hard to deny...but...the Ibanez is lurking. Versatility is its middle name. Let's see how it fares...

[@swere1240]

i found mine used on guitarr center and got it for 800 usd and love it. only thing i dont like is the battery life on the fishmans is nothing compared to emg's ive had it fir about a year and have used a half dozen batteries atleast. emg batteries last me a year or 2. i like the pickups other then that. i still love my emg's on my ltd ec400 though but ive worn those frets down so much playing it so much lol. ive thought about gettin the fishman classic's and see how those sound and i think its basically plug and play swap no sodering or anything.

[@LonelyRocker]

Wow! Great deal!!! I always forget to unplug my cord and I burn through the batteries...but otherwise agree. Really enjoying this guitar....

[@rjkuser]

This is a nice one. I can see this one for you. But let’s see the last one 🎸 before I make up my mind. 😀

[@LonelyRocker]

It sure is purdy ;-)

[@eddyz8199]

What kind of finish is on the back of the neck?

[@LonelyRocker]

I mentioned that...it's an open finish. Exposed wood...sanded very smooth...

[@eugenelim4663]

How does this compare to the C1 Silver Mountain?

[@LonelyRocker]

Similar body styles but the neck is different, pickups are different and obviously different finishes. I think the biggest difference is it has a set neck vs a neck through for the SLS,,,,

[@domenicogiordano1836]

I also go to the same long n mcquade Marco is awesome!!

[@LonelyRocker]

Sweet! I was just there today :)

[@Bleachdemon88]

The one thing I absolutely hate about this guitar is the open pore back. How easy will this thing ding if you accidentally bump it on something? I’m sure it’s a sick guitar, but that’s borderline a dealbreaker for me even with all the other insane stuff this thing has

[@LonelyRocker]

I've actually considered that. But truth is, no guitar is immune to buckle rash. I'm pretty good with my guitars because they rarely leave my studio. No zippers or buckles when I play and I make sure guests adhere to that rule. So mine should be OK. But if you gig with this guitar I'm sure it will show signs of wear. But hey, battle tested guitars get beat up but still play well.. ;)

[@transmundanemusic]

That's craziness to me. Feels SO much better than a placticy poly finish. Dings won't matter at all between this and a poly finish...

[@minstrel9806]

The guitar still has a poly finish on it, it's just that the wood pores haven't been filled so it gives that raw wood feel on it. It's not any less resistant than any other guitar with a satin finish out there. If you want a well protected guitar you should opt for a gloss finished one, neck included. Ibanez has been making those type of finishes on its Prestige lines since forever, most EBMM guitars only have oil and wax finish on them, Kiesel just uses tung oil on their bolt on models. Even if it looks like that, the wood is not exposed.

[@MankyFrilla]

I hate sleeping on the music goodies.. What's for you and all that? 🎼✌🏻🎸

[@LonelyRocker]

Better late than never! Always fun to discover new things even if it's not new :)

[@jocke4568]

Can i put vega trem on this guitar?

[@LonelyRocker]

I would really check with Vega. There is a model of this guitar that comes with a Floyd so I don't see why not but best to ask them...

[@Magik1369]

The Fishman pickups sound ice picky. Too much high end. Otherwise it's a high quality guitar.

[@LonelyRocker]

Some say that but I just find them very articulate and I can roll off some top end as I need. I find them really great for recording.

[@Riverking1]

Amps have EQ for a reason...
