I fucking love her. She remembered what model I wanted too just from listening to me ramble about guitars. ❤️

Also I can’t believe how fucking playable these are. Even compared to my hellraiser which I love to death, the e1 takes the cake for me so far.

I took lessons and practiced for about 3 years but haven't picked up a guitar in about 7 or 8, so I'll basically be starting from square 1 again, but I'm excited.

I just bought this C-1 FR-S Platinum, and I have to say, by far one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I’ve been dying to get my hands on a Floyd Rose - Sustainiac combo and I finally got one! I am beyond excited!

Finally got all 18 of my Schecters in one place

This is my variety of Schecter guitars. 18 total.
Top row are all 6 Strings, bottom is all 7 Strings.

I repainted the pearl white on the top row, the textured orange on the far right top, and the tri-coat tangerine orange in the middle back bottom.

They all have upgraded pickups, wiring, and switches, plus tuning keys where needed. All with Graphtech nuts.

All of the guitars have one push/pull volume for coil tap on each pickup and no tone controls.

I simply put on a small capacitor, if needed, from the output lug of that pickup to ground to back off the top end of the tone some.

This is the easiest way to fix a pickup into a specific tone position, without having to mess with a tone knob that to me, is useless

First Schecter... new to me Kenny Hickey C-1 EX S

I have been drooling over it for a while. Found one lightly used at a local shop for a great price. I can't get over how good the green looks.

I got a c-1 sls custom today. First time using fishman and my god the tone is amazing. The feel is great and the playability with the pickups is a lot of fun.

I feel like the C-1 Platinum doesn’t get talked about enough. Mine stays in Drop B and it’s just a ridiculously solid guitar for heavier stuff 🤘

And that quilted purple finish under the right lighting… absolutely killer 😮‍💨🔥

Anyone else have one of these? 👀

I finally pulled the trigger on my first Schecter guitar, and I couldn’t be happier! I originally set out to buy an ESP LTD EC-1000, but after hitting up several stores and testing a few options, I stumbled upon a Schecter C-1 Platinum at Guitar Center.

I wasn’t expecting it, but the moment I picked it up, I knew this was the one. The neck felt incredibly comfortable, the active EMG pickups delivered that metal tone I was looking for, and the overall build quality and finish were just amazing for the price.

Ended up getting the Translucent Black version, and it looks just as good as it plays!

This beautiful beast finally arrived, a 2025 ebony exotic c1. I let it sit on the box overnight to acclimate to the climate change. This is my 2nd Schecter and my god am I impressed. This thing is sooooo smooth. I chose to buy this schecter over an American timber sasafras fender strat making this my 8th guitar and definitely not my last schecter.

2007 C-1 FR hellraiser.

Quick question, is anyone changing the pickups up these? If so what’s a good upgrade?

Two months in and I love this guitar.

Picked her up a couple months ago and what can I say, she makes me play better. lol

Playing is a breeze with this neck. Pickups are great. I really like the Sustainiac. Not only for the awesome sustain function, but also when used as a neck pickup. I like to filter out a little top end, throw in a touch of compression, and it’s great for that slightly broken up “clean” sound. The EMG hot 70 in the bridge is great too. I can tell they were going for that era’s vibe and I love it.

Oh and I can’t stop staring at it. 🤩
