Word up YOFI Music! Thanks for checking out the review, and for adding to the conversation! I also have been taken back by how much guitar and quality comes with this axe. I had really picked this one up to get a guitar in another tuning for some songs, but really started to love the feel of it! An amazingly good value, I 100% agree with you! I hope all is going great with you, and of course, Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up Keiko! I was also taken back how well the C-1 feels, especially for the price! And you can't go wrong with EMG's!! Thanks for checking out the vid, and leaving some good insight to the conversation! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up! Although I think I'm still in the 'honeymoon" phase with this guitar, it has also become a favorite of mine too! It just seems to play so easily... And I was tempted to order another already! Rock on!! 🧚🏻‍♂️

Word up!!! This is excellent feedback! Good to know that there is some consistency in the modelline. Thanks so much for the kind words, it gives me the good vibes I need to make more vids to enjoy. Keep Rockin' that Platinum!!! 🧚🏻‍♂️

Word up Bruce!! So glad that you're lovin' that C-1, I'm actually working with mine right now, so crazy! Thanks so much for checking out the vid, your kind words, and adding to the conversation! Crank up that amp and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Haha, Word up Dana Dane! This just made my day!! Thanks so much for your kind words, leaving a super cool comment, and checkin' out the vid! Sending awesome vibes your way... DETERMINED!!! Rock on!!! 🧚‍♂🤘

Worrrd Up fluke1494!! What a great guitar to start out with, you couldn't ask for much more, a ton of bang for the buck! Honestly, I have almost bought a second one, they are that good, and going for excellent prices on the used market in excellent condition (Going for @400usd). If I find a sweet deal on one, I'll probably pull the trigger on it. The two EMGs, the 81 and 85 are classics, and a set neck design is so sweet! If you get one, or end up with a different axe, give a shout out, I wanna know!! Straight up, thanks so much for checking out the vid, and for subscribing to the channel!! I really mean that! Sending Rockin' Vibes your way, and of course, Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word Up Colin!! I think you made a most excellent choice!! I have both axes in front of me now, and I think that the upgrades in electronics, and the set neck design are totally worth it! That Blue is sharp too!! I hope you have an awesome time every time you're shredding on that C-1, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂️

@@tinkerbell4896 thanks man! You too!

Word up Brody! Thanks so much for the kind words!! I really appreciate it! Yes, those two guitars are great to compare to one another, and I was really lucky to have both here at that time, the Omen Extreme was here for a little tune up, but is in it's owners hands once again. I kinda miss it, haha!! I hope your new axe is totally wicked, and killer riffs abound!! Sending awesome vibes your way, I'll be cranking up an amp here in just a few minutes!! Haha!! Rock On Bro!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up bubbasouth69! I couldn't agree more, this guitar simply feels good! And, especially for the cost, it's a wonderful axe for most rock and metal guitarists! Thanks for checking out the vid, and sorry it took so long to respond! I just got off a crazy project that was running all hours of the day and night. Keep on shredding that C-1, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂

Word up AFKAnnouncements! Thanks so much, I really appreciate your kind words and checking out the vid! Hope all is going wonderfully for you, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word Up Sandman!! Thanks so much for the update on what they're going for! I have been thinking of getting a second one myself, it's nice not dealing with a Floyd Rose when exploring new music and banging out different tunings. I really enjoy the time I spend with the one I got, and I sure hope you do too! Sending some Rockin' vibes your way!! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up Zinbrand!! Thank you for your kind words, I hope to get my hands on another exciting axe soon so I can do another! Sending positive vibes toward your musical mayhem, let the neighbors hear you, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂️

Word Up Sue!! Most excellent that you're loving that axe! I've had this C-1 for about a year now, and it's in pretty heavy rotation for me too! Mine is tuned to Eb to cover all the songs in that key, and I still love the looks and playability of it. Thanks so much for adding to the conversation, and of course, Rock On!!!! 🧚🏻‍♂

@@tinkerbell4896 Rock on?? is there anything else to do?? lol.

@@suetruett3812 Haha!! Not that I know of!!

My Sister Janice! Thanks so much for checking out the vid! I bet in your hands, you would shred it up! Rock on!! 🧚

Word up Michael! Thanks for checking out the vid, and leaving a cool comment , I appreciate it!! Rock On!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Hahaha!! Thanks Vicious, that made my day!! Rock On!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Worrrd up! I went to the Schecter website, and you are correct, it does not look like they make it in the Translucent Black anymore. They are offering it in Satin Black and Satin Silver, and both have a matching headstock. The one I have is the Translucent Black, and they do indeed match the haedstock with it. I couldn't find much info on what they used, but it really looks like a flame maple veneer on the mahogany body and on the 3 piece maple neck headstock. They all look pretty sweet, I'm definitely a fan of matching headestocks. I like this guitar enough that if I can find a killer deal on another, I'll probably get it! Thanks so much for checking out the vid and having an awesome comment to add to the conversation! I truly appreciate it! Sending you some awesome vibes, so crank an amp up and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up jimboliah7!! That song is Pantera's Mouth For War!! One of my favorites! Thanks so much for dropping a kind and cool comment, and for checkin' out the vid! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up! Yes, we came across the mis-information about the SS frets, and I left a comment about it in the description, thanks for catching that. I wish they were stainless too!! I'm glad you were able to fix the issue with the high e, it's great to have that ability to do the work on your own guitars, really helps dial them in so they are just as you like! Thanks so much for the great addition to the comments, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up Evan!! I love STP, Dean is a Monster!! Thanks so much for checkin' out the vid, and your kind words!! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂

Word up Bro! Yes it really looks great, I'm loving it so far, fits in the lap really nicely... Rock on!!🧚🏻‍♂️

Word up Roy!! Great input!! I have mine down a 1/2 step to Eb with 10's, and it seems to love it. So agree, there are insane deals, sometimes a used one that comes up and it's just silly what you can find one for! And I have had great success with the stock Grover tuners too, it's such a good axe!! I've even been contemplating getting another Platinum if one comes up nearby! Rock On Bro!!! 🧚🏻‍♂️🤘

By the way should I use action ruller with capo or without capo?

Word up gökhan! I'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, life kinda got in the way, haha! Your questions are not easy ones, and I sure wish I could have you guitar in front of me to help you out!! It's not normal to have fret buzz, although I've known players to have the strings so slammed against the fretboard that the strings buzzed a little. It will kill sustain on the strings tho, even if you can't hear the buzz in the amp. So, it's usually good to get the guitar set up where it won't do that. It sounds like your guitar needs some neck relief, like it's bowed back, but you didn't say what you got for a measurement for relief with the capo on the 1st fret, and finger where neck meets the body... If you're getting the .254mm gap, perhaps there are some high frets? A rocker gauge would let you know. Action could be checked around the 12th fret, that will be without the capo. If the guitar needs a full set-up, remember the "TRAIN" method... Tune, Relief, Action, Intonation, then noodle, as in just play it for a bit. You might need to go thru those steps a few times, and it does take some time, so prepare for that. Doing a set up out of that order, you'll end up "chasing your tail", if that makes sense to you, haha! I'm sure there's a KZfaq video on the process to help you thru all the individual steps. I hope this helps a little bit!! Let us know if you get it dialed in, I'm sending good vibes your way for your success!! Good Luck, and Rock On!!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Aww yes gökhan! Without the capo to check for action! Rockin'!!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word Up JoeHervey84! Mint shape, needs nothing but a very minor tune up to suit you? Sounds like a pretty good deal. I've seen ones in this price range in "good" condition, and had some cosmetic bang ups in it. New, i see them at $700+ USD. Hope this helps! Let us know how you did, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word Up! I couldn't agree more! I also really like ESP guitars, and I believe they are owned by the same person. I own more Schecter guitars than any other in my collection, and I'm sure more are to come! Thanks for checking out the vid, and leaving a sweet comment! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Hiya RsSquier51! Yep, you are totally correct. Back in 2021 when I released this vid, all this came up right away. There is a note in the video description to clarify this exact error. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, and Rock On! 🤘🏼🧚🏻‍♂

Yo Bro!! She is sweet!! Looks really good too, great weight, sounds wonderful! Rock on!!🧚🏻‍♂️

Word up C-los M! Sorry it took so long to respond, was busy with a work project! Thanks for checking out the vid! And to answer your question, it works much, much better with a 9v battery installed. You do get some signal out of the pickups, however they're not working like they should. When a battery is installed, they sound fantastic, and push out a lot of signal. I hope that helps! And Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂

Word Up David! Yes, I also really like mine too! Thanks so much for checking out the vid, and adding a cool comment to the conversation!! Rock On!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

@@tinkerbell4896 I'm always curious to see if others like the C-1 Platinum as much as I do. This guitar and my Boss Katana 50 watt has some sort of symbiotic bond I can't explain. I bought the guitar from this guy in Ann Arbor, MI and tried it out on his Katana. Fell in love with both immediately and bought the amp from Guitar Center about a month or so later. The two things felt like they were meant to go together and play for hours whenever I do. I'm glad you love yours.

Word up Paul! The one I have was made in South Korea. I believe it was manufactured by WMI. Rock On!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up!! Thank you, Whisky!! Sending positive vibes your way!! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up! Thanks for that update, really appreciate it!! Rock On!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up William!! Most excellent choice, I hope you're loving it as much as I still do!! Crank that amp up and Rock On, haha!!! 🧚🏻‍♂

Word up Sameer! You are totally correct! When I was making this vid, someone else had convinced me that they were SS, but as we know now they are not! They are a very nice high grade of Nickel-Silver fretwire, and have a decent hardness, usually typical of a higher zinc content over copper content. This actually came up recently somewhere else, and you beat me to it!! I'm going to put a note in the description so everyone will know what going on here. Thanks so much for your valuable input and comment, I really appreciate it!! Sending good vibes your way, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

@@tinkerbell4896 they are very high quality nickel frets indeed! I have a 2002 Schecter C1 Platinum Elite and I play it more than my 2019 Charvel Pro Mod which costs 4x as much! The hell raiser doesn’t come with stainless steel frets either it’s only on blackjack and SLS elite and above. 🤘

@@SameerBalasubrahmanyam Word!! I love that Platinum so much, I've almost bought a second one that's used in a Guitar Center near me!! It's hard to believe how much axe you get for the price! I do have a C-1 SLS Evil Twin also, (They are Stainless frets haha!!), and it is also a joy jam on! If I could, I would have SS on all the guitars, they do feel great, but when the fretwire is decent, I'm down with it!! I always wanted a Charvel Satchel signature model, but they are pretty expensive and I haven't run across that killer deal yet. Oh hell yeah keep on Rockin' On Brother!! 🧚🏻‍♂

Word up Shawn! Thanks for the excellent comment! Yes, you're correct that they are not SS frets, if I said that in the vid it's an error on my part. And hell yeah, they really used to be a steal, and prices on everything shot to the moon!! I really do have a preference for the Korean made Schecters, and hopefully someday prices on things return to Earth, haha!! Crank an amp and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up socialdef3 ! What an interesting and unique critique on this axe, I have never heard anyone say that about it before! There is a tone knob on it, so the axe itself isn't totally limited, and there are so many factors that go into one's 'tone', such as the amps and pedals, all with adjustments to find the values you may want. The EMG 81 and 85 active pick-ups can be a love/hate issue, but they are known to heavily push the mids, and give a wonderful hard rock and metal sound for the start of the tone chain. Thanks for checking out the vid, and for adding into the conversation on the Schecter! Rock On! 🤘🏻

@@tinkerbell4896 Agreed, that being said, it must've sounded a million times better in that room than on my laptop speakers so you have that! That model you have is making me want to dust off my 2006 Schecter C-1 Exotic and get it a decent setup so I can once again enter the Metal zone!!

What's up Doc?! Sorry, I couldn't resist, haha!! You're correct, they are not stainless. Back in 2021 when I released this video, this error came up right away, and I added a note in the description for the video. Thanks for checking out the vid, hope you're having a nice weekend, and Rock On!! 🤘🏼🧚🏻‍♂

Worrrrd up! They sure do make a wicked good one, that's for sure. The best guitars I have in my collection, so far, are made in South Korea. So, there's that, haha!! Rock on Doc!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up Kiezersosay! This is a very interesting comment, thanks for adding it in! Do you think it needed some adjusting to get in into a feel you would like better? Also, what kind of guitars do you normally play, perhaps Gibson, or Fenders? I'd love to know more! Hope it's all good with you, and Rock On!! 🧚

@@tinkerbell4896 I have a bc rich mockingbird legacy ST, a warmoth that's closer to a regular strat, but with Dave Murray's pickgaurd(3 mini humbuckers) and a railtale floyd rose, a carvin dc400, a ⅞ warmoth( slightly smaller body with 24 frets/24¾" scale and spec'd beyond belief, last but not least an Ibanez prestige rg5320 with Ibanez's "cosmic shadow" finish. Lol I actually just picked up a headless leo jaymz to keep in my car. It was new but I got it 2nd hand for 100. It needed a minor setup, but it plays ASTONISHINGLY amazing. With the SS frets and a zero fret. It has that same "really nice toy" feeling that schecter had, but the playability holds it's own next to my others. The industry is going to jurasticaly change and soon imo. There's a few of these Amazon brands.

Word up @bivotarshamble! Thanks for checking out the vid and adding to the comments! Rock On!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏼

Word up Mike Gilbert , sorry to hear that it's not giving you what you want right now. I have played several of these, and I'm not experiencing a flat and low tone with them. Could it be the 9-volt battery for the EMG pickups has gone dead, that could be an easy issue. Are the strings ok, somewhat fresh, at least not tarnished? These would be two of the biggest factors in how this guitar sounds. The EMG 81 and 85's have a legendary hard rock and metal sound that is classic and well known. For tone, after all that, there might be some tweeking the pedals and amps, I'm sure you already knew that. Was there anything else with the guitar you didn't like, such as feel, how the neck was, etc.? It does adjust really easily and a good careful set-up goes a long way on any axe. Are you used to another brand, or play a lot of single coil pick up guitars? Experience with the active vs regular passive pick ups? There could be some differences tone-wise there too. My experience with Schecters has been really good, but not every axe fits every player and musician. That's what makes the world an interesting place, no? I would check on that battery for sure, it might just be that easy. Good luck Mike, and Rock On! 🤘🏻

Word up Thomas! Glad you love the guitar and checked out the vid, I appreciate it! Hopefully, one day, you'll get past your sadness. It can be a fun world out there if you open your mind to it. Rock On! 🧚🏻‍♂
