Schecter guitars are one of THE best values out there, especially on the used market. Love swamp ash.... Not to be confused with swamp ass.

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.

Good to see companies putting out real quality guitars at reasonable costs, unlike other companies. *cough* Gibson *cough*

The Schecter C-1 SLS Elite did NOT dissapoint! Absolutely incredible specs and playability for the price! Link: imp.i114863.net/3Q9Yk

Darrell is slowly evolving into a petrucci... The beard and playstyle keeps growing as time goes by

I’ve seen this hanging on your wall in your past videos and have been patiently waiting for this! Thanks, DBG!

Schecter makes some awesome guitars.. they really have their game on point

You are my go-to review demo channel not only because your a great player but also because you go into amazing depth and showcase the entire guitar. Thank you and good job man😁

I have 3 Schecters from the late 90s and they're all top notch in build and quality control. I did swap out the pickups with boutique pickups. Even back then their playability was great out the box.

Don't know why I watch your every new videos, I don't have guitars, but it's nice watching your videos. Keep the work!

Great review, I have been playing this guitar for just about a year now and loving every minute of it. First class build and premium parts at a very reasonable price!

HELL YEAAA! Since weeks I've been seeing that guitar on the wall and finally you've done the video 💛

I don't know if I came here to listen to a beast of a guitar, or to just be apalled at how glorious Darrell's beard looks on this video

That sunburst skin is absolutely attractive to me! Amazing sounding for lead playing definitely! Great showcase here man!

Beautiful guitar Darrell, top to bottom, dig the mid 80s Skorpions esqe riff for your opener. Your channel has been, & is my favorite guitar channel. Thank you for keeping it professional, & just keeping on.

Mine will be in the mail tomorrow, can not wait, thanks for the review, nice job.

Thanks for the review. Been waiting for this. Looks and sounds awesome 👍

Great demo of this beast! Have always been impressed with Schecter...I may have to check this one out.

I've been eye-balling that thing since it was on the wall, glad to see you play it!

I bought one about 2 years ago and love it! Been a solid guitar, stays in tune and has great action

I’ve had a C-1 from the Diamond series for many years, and even though it’s not nearly as fancy as that one, it’s still my favorite electric to play. Solid, dependable, feels good, sounds good. Great guitars!

I recently bought a C7 SLS Elite and I was absolutely blown away. It was a guitar I had no intention of buying but I am glad I did!

I have been a Schecter fan for years. I have two right now. My C-1 with a real Floyd and a SD Full Shred/Sustainiac and a Custom shop California SSS which is a Strat copy, only with the flat board and high end hardware. Both are serious guitars. 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.

Dang, that’s a gorgeous finish. Also those tones are wicked man.

I Love the way this guitar looks it’s beautiful.and the ton matches

This demo is the reason why I'm getting mine tomorrow! You're right man you cant beat tge specs for the price. I tried the black and gray one out at sam ash and I wanted this color so they ordered ut for me. I get it tomorrow. I got mine for $800 bro because sam ash is having some kind of blowout sale. INSANE. I've got a prestige and an American strat and these schecters are right up there with quality. You're the man man

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.

Always a great watch. This guitar is sick!

the floyd rose version of this guitar is the one i want next- absolutely mind-blowing attention to detail and craftmanship for this price-point...there's a reason that i own 3 Schecters- you just can't beat them for the price and quality, and most of them are tone-monsters...

The first time I've seen you review a Schecter! One of my favorite guitar makers! Thank you Darrell!

Looks and sounds awesome Darrell, and as always great playing, Cheers

Great looking & sounding axe!! Thanks for another great vid D!!

Love your videos and your energy, man. Also you play crazy well! Just subbed.

I noticed this on your last couple of videos. Just beautiful.

i do not play guitar but i am a music lover! this guitar is just flat out beautiful!

Finally some Schecter content! I’ve been waiting (and bugging you in the comments on instagram 😂). I picked up an E-1 a few months ago and it’s an absolute beast. Schecter really won me over with all the stuff they’ve been pumping out the past year or two.

Wow a company that values quality over gimmicks and isn’t crazy over priced!! Love Schecter products. Always impressed with the quality for the lower prices. I’ve been saving for one of these for over a year. Hopefully I’ll be able to grab one soon.

Used to love playing back in my teens and haven't played in a couple of decades. Got the urge to jump back in. Found one of these used for $750, should be here next week can't wait! Awesome review, got me even more excited for it to arrive.

YEEEES, FINALLY! I wanted to see this video, specially to listen your opinion about the pickups 👻🔥

Intense depth! I LOVE your channel!

Got to admit, your lead work is awesome. Love your style & choice of tones (pickups in use). Rock on Bro.. .

That is an amazing piece of craftsmanship and sounds awesome.

I've got one of the early Schecter C-1's and put Bill Lawrence L500's in her... what an amazing axe!!! Gr8 vid man!!!

I watched your review of the Shecter C-6 . Thanks just got mine yesterday. Spot on with the review. I love mine.

I noticed that beautiful finish in one of your previous videos and wondered what it was. Now I know! Looks awesome

Damn you, Darrell! I've never been interested in playing guitar until I found your channel. Now I find myself looking for a guitar so I can learn to play. Thanks, a lot! 😉😄😁

Thanks for you review, I bought one of these and the one I received is flawless, with all the features. I love it.

i love that fade so much

That thing is absolutely gorgeous and its tones don't disappoint. Fantastic. God bless and rock on 👏😎🎸

I love the look of this guitar. Such a great look regarding the colors & the black hardware.

Was watching another and then yours popped ... didn’t finish the other video ... 😂

I just love the way the guitar sounds

This video helped me decide to buy one of these with the floyd rose. I absolutely do not regret my purchase at all. Thank you!

this is probably the only non-classic-strat-style that i actually love the looks of. the fade burst is amazing and the rest just feels perfectly placed and well designed. sweet

The quality of guitar making today has reached a level that is mind blowing. Schecter appears to have something for everyone.

Schecter's knocked this one out of the park. Great, gassing big time. Stop it! ha. Love your vids. Always a good balance of discussion and actual demo/tone and man, I love listening to you play!

Great review, great playing! Thanks. I not only started looking closer at Schecters from yours and other reviews, I bought a C1 Platinum today. Best setup out of the box of any of the many guitars I have everpurchased. Very impressive sound from the EMG pickups. And great looks.

I bought one based on your recommendation, I was not disappointed! Thanks for the review!

Got myself one of the FR-7 model of these. Absolutely love it! Great quality Axe

It looks so cool with that sunburst finish

I have only gotten back into the electric guitar world the past couple of years after staying away for several decades, and I am convinced I lucked into a golden age of guitar buying. Brands like Schechter, G&L, Yamaha, Danelectro are putting out really playable and affordable instruments with excellent construction, and the bigger brands are having to up their games in those price ranges as a result. What fun!

Great vid!! My 10+'year old S.Korean C-1 Hellraisers are such great gits for the price, its inane. Glad to learn Schecter still making great stuff!!

Now that is one gorgeous looking guitar. I would consider buying this beauty just to hang on my wall so I could watch my visitors drool over it 😍

Never under estimate a Schecter. Got a older C-1 Classic. Abalone vine inlay on neck & Seymours paf's. Solid mahogany. It has bones to rival anything I've played. Great review- thanks

Got mine today, and it feels great! I just have to learn to tame it a bit. It’s beautiful and the value is amazing!

I asked about this guitar maybe 3 times in other videos.... Thanks for the vedio man

As always another great video. Definitely going to have to check this brand out now. Seems like an awesome deal. 🤠🎸

Dope production big ups bro📀📀📀

Schecter never dissapoints! Even their cheapest omen sounds amazing, like it’s worth 700 dollars instead of 350

Nice guitar, this one looks and is as loaded as my Mexican Jackson Pro Dinky! Great sounding guitar too. Thanks for sharing Darrell

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.

Beautiful Guitar... almost a work of art! Thanks for sharing Darrell :) Reckon I'd be swapping out those pickups - not my preferred tone for such a nice guitar.

Best guitar demo i've ever seen

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!

Great demo! I think the time to be surprised at all by guitars made overseas being great instruments is past. Thanks for putting this demo together!

awesome dude - so glad you reviewed this one!! I was thinking this one or maybe the Keith Merrow MKiii 7 string

This guitar is just gorgeous😍

It looks amazing

Just one look is more than enough... The guitar has EXTREMELY GOOD finish!!!

I wanted to thank you shortly for this video, as it was the first one to make me loving this guitar. I ended up buying it. And i love it 😍

This is so cool to hear. In my opinion schecter are killing it these days. I know my next guitar is going to be the explorer version of this model

Ah Schecter! I have owned an 'old' low end Schecter for years. It's been gigged many, many times, blues jam sessions, rock jams etc etc. It gets neglected then comes out for a bit of a dust off and it never ceases to amaze me how great it plays and is so versatile. 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 ended up buying one of these back in 2020 after i watched this video. I only had about a year of experience at the time and was upgrading from a piece of Squier, easily worth every penny. I wanted to invest in a beast I could use for a long time. Never had to get it adjusted once either.

Oh wow, will this one be on "Team Chunk" the next time you do a sustain face off? Would love to see more of those comparison videos from you. The speaker mod videos are good too. Thanks to you I upgraded the speaker in my amp and it is like I got a whole new amp! Wished I had known about that sooner!

Beautiful guitar, Iv got a schecter banshee 6 with emgs only cost me £600 brand new and it's and absolute gem

Yessssss So happy to see this one. This is a guitar I've had my eyes on for a while, as a lefty quality guitars are hard to come by!

Those pickups look so high tech I just love their design

This one is on my list. I own the Custom Solo 2 you have in the background and I absolutely love it! These S.Korean Schecter guitars are absolutely outstanding in every way. I am a loyal fan of what Schecter is doing.

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

I have a C-1 Platinum and my wife has a Omen Extreme 6. Schecter makes some of the best guitars for the price, hands down.

My number 1 is a C-1 Classic from 2002. JB/Jazz pups with a five way switch for splits. The construction is second to none, as is playability. I left my "set up to play by Schecter USA" sticker on, though. Another excellent video!

I love the neck thru body design. Awesome. You can't find guitars like that.

Just ordered one of these, in black fade…thanks for the review

Schecters are brilliant! I love my now 10 year-old C-1 FR. The neck has never needed adjustment and the Floyd Rose stays in tune no matter how many times I divebomb the hell out of it!

Schecter always comes correct. I have a Damien Platinum with the fixed bridge and it too is a beast. Great review man, I'll have to check one of these out. Like I tell my wife, there is always room for one more guitar.

Hey Darrell, it was a very good and detailed review and the part where you showed the electronics inside. And as always it's amazing how you come up with your own mesmerizing riffs in every video. But I haven't seen the brand CORT in your review playlist. Please review them too,especially the Cort KX300 and Cort X500. They are cheap and amazing. Thanks!

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.

Purchased one yesterday based on this review as lockdown prevents travel and trying one out, arrives in a couple days. Hope it's a nice as yours.

Hello DBG! Great stuff, as always! I was wondering, do you have any kind of 1-hour mix of these solos of yours you do in every video? I watch your video once or twice but keep repeating that 1 min solo 10 times :) They are so beautiful. Thank you!

So utterly and unapologetically Canadian eh!! Great video, I’ve been digging the content bud. Cheers from PEI my man.
