Gibson to me will always be overpriced, I have an epiphone Joe Pass Hollo body which to me sounds as good as some super pricey Gibson hollow bodies. Schecters are such good value for what you get. I might get one, one day. No esp or jackson has really interested me that much. I do have an ibanez and godin.

The fact that it's jam packed with features and still a lot more affordable than other guitars with the same features means that schecter is charging a true and fair price. They're profiting from the guitar even at that cost, if not, they wouldn't offer them at that price. That ultimately leads me to think that other companies are charging way too much, probably for the name of the brand.

I tried out one of these monsters at a Guitar Center and I will be getting one. I was skeptical of Fishmans till I tried them. I kind of fell out of love with EMGs finding them too sterile. I find the Fishmans to be a lot livelier and more versatile and a great example of where active pickup technology needs to go. I was impressed with the playablility and construction of the C-1. Just a wonderful instrument, and it looks amazing.

Bought this guitar a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love it. I've never played Fishmans before and they sound incredible. I know they're active but they sound nothing like Emgs. They are very clear sounding pickups very different form any I've played. The neck is very thin but I have small hands so I love it. Only downsides I can think of is I'm used to big inlays on my guitars and I can't really see these at all when playing so I had to adjust to that. Oh and the guitar is a lot heavier than it looks , it's almost as heavy as my Mahogany Lp!

I just got one, FRS model. It’s noticeably lighter than my Hellraiser. 7lb 4oz I believe. Love the Fishman pickups, much clearer than the EMG’s, but the guitar itself is clearer even unplugged-must be the through neck. I love the ebony so much, it feels so slick when I bend that every other guitar in the world now seems almost like a toy by comparison. What an amazing instrument, and it stays in tune no matter how much I abuse the FR.

I buy and sell many guitars, but those two will never leave my possession. Yours is a badass looking and playing. That tone is so nice. A real keeper.

What fun!

I bought my first Schecter almost a decade ago and I think they're the best "bang for your buck" guitar out there. I own several now and every one has been top quality without having to spend thousands. I even bought two older, collectible Schecters and have worked with their service/tech department to get info, specs, etc., etc.. They've been incredibly patient and helpful. I think most other companies out there could learn a thing or two from them. Cheers, Darrell.

I own this guitar, I don’t have as much use for the Sustainiac as I used to when I first owned a guitar with a sustainer. I decided to make this a project guitar and added a kill-switch, locking tuners for easier string changes, an EVH D-Tuna and kept the original pickups. Sounds great, I ended up installing a kill-switch in a different stat that I play a lot more. Right now the C-1 is listed on Reverb at a price where if it sells, great, if it doesn’t sell I still own it so win-win…

Definitely NOT just a metal guitar! Whenever it comes out I fall in love with Schecter and, honestly, I think it's possibly my favorite brand. Yes, I also own Fender, Gibson and PRS!

I have the usual fenders and Gibsons and Yamaha’s and Brian Moore’s and Taylor and Ibabes guitars.. never even considered a Schecter. Korean maid, straight pull to the machines from the nut. Graphtec nut, Grovers, binding on the headstock the body and the neck. I believe it has three piece neck, I love the curve joint. Seymour Duncan‘s, it’s some light jacket, I believe it’s from around 2010..It’s a blackjack. I love it. The action he’s great. I’ve been pounding on this guitar for days , it doesn’t go out of tune..

Normally when people think of Schecter and Fishman, metal always comes to mind as the go-to genre. But you prove that to not be the case. I've only played one Schecter before, and it was a second-hand at a guitar store. I may have to look into more of their guitars though. Great video as always, man. Also, at 5:17, not sure if it was intentional, but you almost played the intro to Bigger Than I Thought by Sean Curran. Not expecting many to know what that is, but hey, you never know.

Bought this guitar almost three years ago based on this video and still love it - thanks for the in depth review! For those considering it, I play this thing almost every day, and everytime I think about "upgrading", I talk myself out of it because this guitar accomplishes so much for its price tag. The feel of the neck is what grabbed my attention first as it aids fast playing so much (I can also never go back from having locking tuners too). Since buying this, I've tried a £4k strat, a £3k PRS (amongst a few others) and I honestly still preffer this beauty. My impression is that for those high end expensive guitars, you're paying for the brand, history and attention to detail on aesthetics, that don't really contribute to the playability of the guitar. Only mods I've done is swapping out the SD pickups and replacing the strap buttons for Lox strap locks. The Fishman pups do sound awesome but I have a vendetta against batteries, otherwise I would have kept them.

I'm a fairly new subscriber and this is the first time I've seen you with Fishman Fluence pickups. I was so hyped about these. I picked up a pair of the signature Will Adler set and popped them into my LTD H-500. It originally came with an EMG 81/85 set so you could imagine how blown away I was with the chime and bell-like quality. The neck pickup was my absolute favorite. After the honeymoon phase, however, I found the bridge pickup to be especially shrill, considering my LTD was already pretty trebly and full of bite. After thinking about it for a long time I decided to go back to EMGs with the Retroactive Fat 55 set. Sure, nothing has the Fluence clarity and voicings but that's about it with those. They consume more battery as well. In about 5 weeks I've had to replace my 9v. With the EMGs it literally takes months before you replace it.

fluence pickups can have two or three voicings, and can also have split coils. if its setup with two push pulls, the volumes is likely the one that switches between voicings, and the tone is likely the coil split, or just voice 3

Can you confirm this? I was wondering this exact same thing. Would make sense to me to have one pot for tapping and the other for voicing (active/passive) but I can't find this info anywhere...

@@cbsaulren i dont know if they advertise it like that, but i installed the tosin abasi set in my 7 string schecer, which onyl has 2 knobs. the diagrams came with a 2 push/pull wiring configuration so that my volume changes the voicing from voice 1 to voice 2, and the tone knob does the coil split. I would imagine it is that same for the majority of their pickups since they are all basically the same. at least for humbuckers. If the guitar is set up where it has one normal and one push/pull pot, that can probably be wired to either have voice one or voice 2, OR coil split, hence why I opted for dual push/pull pots

Hey there Darrell, I gotta say Schecter has been making really high quality guitars for a long time. I kick myself in the butt every time I think about it, but before moving here to Germany, I had a 2004 C-1 Elite in what was called Quilted Amber. I swear it looked just like a jar of Orange marmalade. lol. The entire guitar was bound in abalone, and all hardware was gold. String through body over a tune-a-matic bridge. Pups were actually a lower output, just a bit hotter than a PAF, with coil split on both pups via push/pull pots. It was arched top super Strat style and a really great playing guitar. I sold it because I didn't have much room left in my container. I wish I had at least left it with my firearms at my sisters house instead of letting it go :( I've looked at replacing it over here, but when I do run across one on eBay, they are usually well over 1,000 euros. I really liked the tone of those pups tho. For me, these Fishman's are just a bit too hot. I would have to keep the pots pulled all the time on V2. For those wanting a slightly hotter than PAF pup, Seymour Duncan has a set called The Saturday Night Special. Coil split capable too. That's what's going in my custom Acacia Cronus. Great video as usual Darrell sir. Chat later bro. Bob in Germany

Bought one a year ago and honestly for the price it might be the best I have played right out of the box and I personally love the neck feel as it is fantastic. I do like the pickups (which I left both in one) but bought a second one and put a Dimarzio 36 anniversary in the bridge and a PAF Pro in the neck using a 250k volume pot (tames the highs a bit) and it's now an 80's killer. So I have 2 great playing guitars but sound very very different that are an incredible value for the money.

I started playing Schecter guitars long before they became as popular as they are today and own five of them, my latest being the 7 string Hellraiser with the Sustaniac pickup and Floyd Rose tremelo. You really can't beat the bang for the buck that Schecter provides.

Amazing playing on an incredible guitar. It's easy to see how such an advanced guitar can be sold so cheaply - after all, South Korean labor can be a quarter of American labor and this is obviously a high labor instrument - but kudos to Schecter for selling it at such a good price as this could easily compete in a much higher bracket. Definitely makes me want one, although $1,200 is really above my comfort zone. That's three $400 Craigslist guitars!

Could I ask what you think about the EMG bridge pup? Gotta trigger finger ready, my only concern is I absolutely love the bright punchy EVH pup's. Had some active pickups in a charvel and was happy with them until my brother brought his EVH over, that changed everything. Of course my active pickups were older and not EMG 81s. Can you get a bright punchy evh sound out of your Schecter? Thanks 🤘
