"Very nice guitar, but has some flaws."

Feature:
The guitar has great looks, great pickups, but the electronics totally suck. My volume pot scratches and sometimes the volume completely dies until I tap the pot. On stage this is unacceptable.

Quality:
The electronics are horrible, and don't use strings over .10 gauge. My neck warped due to thick strings and it won't come unwarped.

Value:
nice guitar overall but I wouldn't pay what I paid for it again.

Desirability:
It just looks sexy, the inlay sells this guitar and everyone compliments me on it's looks.

Sound:
Sounds pretty nice, the Seymour Duncan pickups are sweet.

Support:
I called them because the little silver grommets behind the bridge popped out and one got lost. They sent me 3 that had gripping built into them. I wish they sent 6, but 3 is cool.

Overall:
Nice guitar overall, really like the pickups and the look of it. Hardware is really nice, but electronics fall short. The neck also warps easily.

"Hurry before the raise the prices!"

Feature:
Cable included with the guitar is kind of cheap but hey.. you're gonna replace it with a nice set of mogami anyways! Mega 5 switch selector for a nice tone library.

Quality:
For the price! You get awesome quilted maple top finish and "the Vines of Life" inlays.. The inlays actually looks nice in person and not as busy or tacky as I thought it would be!

Value:
I challenge ya to find any other guitar in this price range thats better! YoU WonT!

Desirability:
Unless you're turned off by knowing the Prince plays a Schecter.. You'll fall in love with this guitar!

Sound:
SD Pickups! What more can I say.

Support:
Just because I haven't had to use them yet.. :)

Overall:
This guitar would've received a 10 if not for the cheap feeling plastic end on the selector... But I guess for the price.. I can live with it.

"Kick ass guitar at a budget price"

Quality:
This is a beautiful guitar, especially for the low price. I was considering a PRS but couldn't see shelling out $2500 bucks for one. The C-1 classic looks just as nice and in all reality doesn't really come in all that far behind the sound quality of the PRS. Grover tuners,Seymour/Duncan pickups, tone pros bridge,....all high quality stuff and you gotta hand it to the koreans on their workmanship. Everything fits perfect.One of my favorite axes.

Value:
You definitely get more than you pay for....or maybe everyone else is just charging too much!

Desirability:
Sounds great...Looks killer...low price. Why not buy it?

Sound:
This guitar is great for almost anything you want to play. I've pulled off everything from ZZtop to Black Sabbath with it. It has some very powerful humbuckers(seymour/duncans)and the five way switch lets you get a good range of tones. The only thing that would make it better in my opinion is if it came with the push/pull pots like on some of the other schecters or maybe a couple micro switches so you could run both pickups split at the same time. I have a set of dimarzio pickups in my ESP, a bluesbucker in the neck and a FBK 101 in the bride and they have a more present and clear sound than the seymours ....overall this thing kicks ass.

Support:
No problems yet.

Overall:
The only thing I can see ever doing to this would be maybe a pick up change and the addition of some switches to split the humbuckers better.....but thats about it. Everything is top notch. You can get a fat les paul sound and you can get a decent single coil sound too. The only thing I haven't been able to reproduce is that thin stratocaster buzz...some might say that's a good thing though.
