"Beautiful in every way!!!"

Feature:
This guitar has some pretty cool features including a set-neck and a push-pull coil tap to split the coils for a brighter, cleaner sound. Although I don't use it often I still use it nonetheless and I'm glad its there.

Quality:
The quality is impeccable. Even though it's made in South Korea its still flawless in every way. No obvious fret file markings, no blemishes on the finish and the inlay work just screams bling.

Value:
For a guitar in this price Range you can't get a guitar that even comes close to the value this one has to offer. I've played Les Paul Customs that come below this guitar in value. Even at $1000 it would easily be a steal.

Desirability:
The look of this guitar is unfathomably gorgeous. The inlay work is was really got me. I often find myself opening up the case it's in just to take a look at its beauty.

Sound:
The sound this guiatr has is very very versatile. You can use it with almost any style of music from blues to classic rock to metal. I play a lot of types of music and Iv'e never played a guitar that is so seemingly limitless in how you can play it. It a kinda in between a PRS and a Les Paul, both of which I own. The mahogony gives it low-end chunk for heay or fast riffin and the low action makes it perfect for shredding. The only complaint is the slightly inferior Duncan Design pickups, which aren't bad but the Seymore Duncan JB/'59 would have made it a 10 instead of a 9.

Support:
Nevr had any problems so I've never had to deal with customer support. I guess that's a good thing?

Overall:
I plan to have this guitar for a while, One, because its a great piece of gear and two i gotta wait for my cash to replenish a little first!

I am so impressed with my C1 elite, it is my #1 guitar,i love my schecter so much i just bought a C1\EA semi hollow and it is equally as awesome,i own les pauls, old charvels and strats, i keep coming back to my schecter, thought i would replace the DD pickups with Seymours because i thought i would need to. I WILL NOT, this guitar cant be beat.

"THIS GUITAR IS THE BEST!"

Feature:
This axe has a string thru tail piece wich creates good sustain. This axe also has a solid body which makes your axe stay in tune longer. I love how this guitar has a coiled knob. You can have the lower knob pushed down or up, down for lower tone, up for higher tone.

Quality:
Yes, this guitar is very solid. Nothing will break if your careful. Something like this needs to be taken care of.

Value:
Yes i think it is.............

Desirability:
Great feel, this guitar makes it easier for faster chord changes and muting.

Sound:
The sound of this axe is ripped open! Thanx to the kick ass pickups made by seymour duncan. I'm a huge Dimebag fan and with my crate combo i get the perfect Metal sound i need. This guitar is perfect for METAL. I suggest any metal fan looking for bassy yet ripped open tone go with the schecter c-1, This is my favorite guitar ever!

Support:
I have a ten year warranty.

Overall:
10 or 15years, You can have a guitar forever if You treat it right....

"This baby is one sweet mama"

Feature:
Gold Hardware, Mother-o-perloid binding, curly maple top, grovers, this guitar is adorned and very pretty!! light too, and very nice profile at higher frets

Quality:
Cosmetic and structual soundness, very confident that this will last a long time!

Value:
$ best for the price and quality

Desirability:
This is truly a beautiful guitar, the curly maple top is stunning for this price range

Sound:
Sounds decent, but I own High quality Gibsons with powerful Humbuckers.

Support:
Does not apply yet

Overall:
I bought this guitar to supplement my Les Pauls and 64 SG, thos eguitars are worth too much to gig out with, so this guitar will be my gigging axe, I don't have to worrry about scratching it or some drunck falling over it! It will do the job just fine, I may change out the Neck pick-up for a beter quality pick-up

"wow"

Feature:
nice pick and smooth fast easy neck. great for solos and very playable.

Quality:
a very sturdy guitar the pearl around looks awesome and is made well. no flaws

Value:
awesome guitar for the price. this guitar is great but maybe should be little more affordable for younger players

Desirability:
take one look at the guitar and u drool. thats all there is too say

Sound:
its has a very clean sound but can also be very edgey and sounds great with distortion. it is distorted enough to get the sound but you can still make out the notes.

Overall:
i could own this guitar for life and i dont think i would ever have to gert a new guitar
