[@jameslewis2635]

My initial thought with those pickups and first impressions of the top is that this would be a real classic rock machine. Then when it came to the neck it was like the whole think was catapulted forwards in time by about 50 years with the purple heart and graphite rods. The sound, however, does still seem to be pure classic rock. Taking that whole vibe with the vintage sounds and modern playability features make this guitar seem to be the best of both worlds. Also these pickups have the best split sound I have heard from 'standard' style humbuckers.

[@greekfreak1980]

These are handwound, Made in USA Schecter custom shop pickups,they sell them also separately as aftermarket pickups for other guitars. And Schecter´s pickups are really good,on the same level with any Duncan or DiMarzio model. They even have a wide range from vintage PAF´s to super high-output ceramic models.

[@e_corky]

I have a c-1 diamond series, the one with the emg’s and grover tuners. Very beautiful and comfortable to play.

[@seilorks6610]

I just picked myself up a C-1 platinum diamond series great guitar a tad heavy but fun to play and great value

[@kiezersosay49]

The platinum let me down...but I had a reaper I liked but just traded for a fernandes revolver elite. Now my hellraiser hybrid PT is a god damn beast. A sexy beast.

[@stratsteveo106]

I got a diamond series body. I'm fitting a strat style neck on it with locking tuners. The pickups sound great, because I have the bridge pickup in a partscaster with a S1. But I'll put the pickups back in and have fun with it. A little heavy but overall great guitar

[@edwinstovall3334]

I have a Diamond Series C-1 Élite in Amber from 2003. It has a maple neck. Schecter only made the maple-necked amber-colored C-1Élite for that one year; in 2004 the whole line got mahogany necks. Frets look like they need a fret job; guitar plays and sustains like it doesn't. Should go ahead and give it one and see what happens. Best guitar I've ever had.

[@vav413]

C-1+ from the early 2000s is the favorite guitar I have. Always wanted one with a wilkinson style bridge. This is the closest thing to that I think. I am not a huge fan of the spalted maple but I love the inlays. I wish I liked the inlays of the other exotic schecter made this past year

[@GuitarJeff]

Schecter is really brining it lately with some great options and just well built guitars. I have bought 2 this year and love each one. Probably be buying another one. I have had 8 in my time and not a single one bad. Only traded one back in for another Schecter, it had the sustaniac in it, which just wasn't me. Was still a great guitar though.

[@blakesutherland798]

I bought the ebony version of this guitar about a month before you uploaded this and I have to say I LOVE it. You truly can't beat the versatility for the price. Those new pickups from Schecter really sound great and I'm a huge fan of the crisp cleans I can get with the coil splitting. The fit and finish of the guitar is great and you just can't beat the price! Would buy again in a heartbeat!!

Darrell, Glad to see that you demo'd this Schecter C-1 Exotic Spalted Maple 6-String Electric Guitar ! ! ! This guitar is so genre versatile, great feel, tone, low as you want or need action, No Fretwork Issues, loads of sustain, playability, pups are the Proprietary 78's wax potted and coils on both pups are splitable, Schecter locking tuners, tusq nut-42+ mm, purple heart neck with double graphite rods and double action adjustable at headstock trussrod, satin finish, rosewood fretboard with abalone inlays on top fretboard and side dot markers and satin finish, mahogany body and neck,Wilkinson tremolo system is smooth and stays in tune really really well, great asthetics ! ! ! This guitar I bought about 2 months ago and I have this guitar in the Schecter C-1 Exotic Vine Of Life that I have a set of Schecter Apocalypse pups I may put into that guitar. I can Always put the pups back to OEM Specs ! ! ! These guitars are just Amazing in Materials and Craftsmanship, man I just can not say anything Negative about them , and that's including my Schecter CR6 models in Aurora Burst & Brown Burst hat have much the same features except the CR6 guitars have the Custom Reverse Headstock, thus the CR6 model name ! ! ! 😎 . . . Serious Guitars . . . 😎 The only other guitar Brand I found that came close to these guitars were a couple Ibaneze or Carvin models and I already have those guitars, each are Unique man only the Schecters were $799 and that's 1/2 or less in pricings but not on the features as mentioned and the serious QC ! ! ! Now I tried to support my local Pop's & Mom's music outlets but they just wouldn't meet the Schecter website pricing, so I went with one of the Major Logo Outlets ! ! ! Schecter has a new model out not available yet that is called the Schecter Omen Poplar Elite 6 Popular Burl Fixed Bridge for about $500 and the Schecter Elite 6 Popular Burl with FR tremolo system for about $600 that comes in 3 finishes, ( Trans - Red, Trans - Aged Natural, and Trans - Blue ). Thanks for this Schecter guitar demo video. It really made my whole month ! ! ! Peace and And Play 🎸 On FretBro . . . 👍🤘🎸😊😎🙏 DDHarris 10-15-2020.

[@chrisgarceau9282]

Why hasn't Schecter surpassed the big brands? Everything is there for them to do so by the way I had no idea before I started watching your chanel now I want at least 4of them, you should get a marketing department chief executive salary:)

[@stojanbabic2177]

I also wonder that. I had the Schecter PT Fastback, and it was one of the best playing guitars that I have had.

[@valebliz]

The guitar world is extremely conservative. Personally i love their guitars but can't play their necks, they’re just too thin and my left hand start to fatigue.

[@greekfreak1980]

The company ws sold in the 80´s by the founder D.Schecter to an investment group from Texas,who mismanaged them for years,until it was sold again in the mid-90´s to H.Shibuya. You may know him as the founder and CEO of ESP, he also owns the LTD, Edwards,Navigator,Grassroots,Takamine brands and is the President of the famous GIT Musicians Institute in Hollywood (Paul Gilbert was a teacher there). He moved Schecter back to California and put in charge people who were originally working there.The current CEO is a former custom shop guy and pro guitarist. For years,their marketing strategy was to appeal to the metal demographic were they´re very popular,but lately they have expanded their model range and have added some really cool models. Still,most guitar buyers prefer to throw their money to Gibson and Fender,because of their prestigious names,but small brands like Schecter are getting more and more popular.

[@bigfatengineer]

Purists. People long for certain names and headstocks...sometimes with good reason, but usually it's because of the misconceptions they've built up in their heads. (And I don't mean to be critical, I catch myself suffering from the mystique of certain guitars as well...)

[@jacksolomon451]

Marketing and lack of brand awareness. I'm a hardcore Schecter fanboy but a lot of their naming convention is really cringe

[@Tonedog88]

I, also, love the Schecter C1 series--I have a C1 Shedevil myself. One of the reasons (among many) I bought my guitar was the unbelievably smooth junction between the neck and body. I note that's missing on the C1 Exotic--but I like the locking tuners, and the finish is outstanding. Another great guitar by Schecter and video by Darrell!

[@mklein5179]

I always looked down my nose at schecter until I got one. Then two and now three!

[@mrgaudy1954]

I recently elected for the new PT Fastback (black finish!) over a Fender strat and was stunned at the quality. Ridiculous value for a $600 guitar.

[@jimtalltheislandbrothers6639]

Just bought this.. Amazing guitar and comes well setup. Just needed to pull the strings a bit and it stays in tune. Georgeous looking. Cannot wait for Saturday to take it out on a gig. My heart was set on a beautiful mid ranged Gretch, however, could not get the gretch to stay in tune with the bigsby so settled for this and cannot be any happier. Your review was key in my trying the guitar and eventually making the purchase. Thank you so much.

The Hagstrom XL5 is a great guitar it has a really great neck and is a HSH config with a coil tap and 5 way switch. I’ve had mine for years and it is still my favourite guitar I own to play. I paid $600 for it about 15 years ago.

[@bldallas]

Man, the wood on that guitar is gorgeous! The splatted Maple is amazing and I love the mahogany back. I’m a Tele guy, but that specific Schector is really tempting.

[@EvilSewnit]

I definitely recommend checking out schecters PT line if you like teles

[@periurban]

I've long been a huge fan of the Schecters. Here in Scotland (UK) they make fleeting appearances, but every one I've played has been brilliant. I currently own an Omen Extreme-FR, and it's one of my top three go-to guitars. I previously had a beautiful eighties Pacific from the California custom studio. I was gutted when I had to sell it. This one looks amazing!

I love spalted maple ! I have a gorgeous Ovation like that and am planing a LP build spalted maple . I bought lumberbuckers for it and gold locking Gohto tuners with amber finish knobs and amber speed knobs that go to 0-11 ! Gold switches , Emerson electricals and gold everything including screws . 3/way switch plate is engraved with GRATEFUL / DEAD. Now all I need is the kit !

[@hairnation68]

Beautiful guitar. I’d love one. I have 6 guitars, my American Pro Hss Strat is my go to, my Gibson Les Paul sits in its case. Love my G&L ASAT. But I think I’d prefer this Schecter over my PRS SE Floyd Rose. Never loved the neck or pickups on my SE. But it never goes out of tune. This one looks really nice.

[@topdog6742]

I just bought one last night. Can't wait to receive it.

[@pfmusic1636]

I bought a c-1 back in 2001. I sold it a few years ago. Great guitar. This makes me want another one...

I hope Schecter let you keep this guitar because this was an amazing review!

[@SDisonYT]

I just bought one of these, replaced the pickups with Seymour Duncan P-Rails with Triple Shot controls. So since that meant I didn’t need the splitting toggle anymore, I swapped that out for a kill switch. Now it can do just about everything you can think of. All for just $1k all in. Awesome value!

[@leonardszubinski4709]

Thank you Darrell for influencing me on getting another guitar! I got this guitar last week and all that I can say is WOW! Also, this got me in trouble with the little lady! Just because this is my eighteenth guitar, why does she have to get so mad?

Thanks for this! I was guitar shopping earlier tonight, just about to buy the Yamaha Pacifica 612, but this model Schecter was there. I loved it so much better than the Yamaha. Pretty much liked it better than all the other guitars of it's type in it's price range. The thing is, all my other guitars are kind of the same shade of color and was hoping for something different. Looking around for the same model in a different color.

[@SquigglyBeasst]

That is such a beautiful guitar! I love the satin, natural finish. Fantastic features for the price. I think this has convinced me to sell on my PRS SE Custum 24 and pick up this Schecter! Sadly, it's more like $1300 CD here in the UK (still cheaper than PRS!).

[@davidwoods358]

That's a lot of great standard options for a really good price. I'd like to try one of these.

I wish all these guitars had chunkier necks, like the Ibanez AZ has. They really are much more comfortable to a lot of players. 19mm to 20mm thin at the 12th fret is stupid thin.
