I bought the Schecter C-1 FR electric guitar on one of the lighting deals of the day. It is a very solid guitar with mahogany body and bolt on neck. It has schecter alinco active pickups which sound very good. When I received it it had some fret buzz at the 1st fret, and I was lazy to adjust it. The fret buzz actually went away after 2-3 weeks of playing. It seems the neck has set in better and now without any adjustments, the guitar is perfect with low action.
The workmanship on this guitar is flawless. I got the black color, and you can not see any paint runs or dings on this guitar. The neck is straight. For a bolt on neck, this guitar has a very good sustain comparable to set neck guitars.
The sound of this guitar is outstanding. I can get good clean sounds from the neck pick up and heavy distorted sounds from the bridge pick up. The Floyd Rose tremelo is a plus!
The guitar does not come with a case, and it does not have coil tapping.
Overall it is an outstanding guitar, and I highly recommend it for rock or even heavy metal.

I’ve been playing guitar very (very) casually for a few years. I started with an acoustic, took some time off, then got this guitar for Christmas (thanks, wife!). I’m extremely happy with it. I’m using it with a Line6 Spider IV 15 amp (very nice amp for the price, by the way).
We also bought the white version of this for our daughter. Both the black and white look fantastic. The guitar is nicely balanced. As the description says, it has access to the full fret range. The whammy bar is firm and well placed. It also comes with an 8 foot cable for plugging in to an amp and several different sized Allen wrenches for adjusting various bits.
Major tuning is done by loosening (with the wrenches) some string clips (for lack of a better word) at the end of the neck near the tuning knobs. Then, you turn the knobs and tighten the knobs. Daily fine tuning (humidity, string aging, etc) can be done by turning small screws at the other end of the strings. The guitar can be just as easily played with a pick or fingers. I haven’t tried a slide, but I don’t see how it would be a problem.
Sorry if this review seems rather pedestrian, but as I said, I’m a very casual player and this is the first electric I’ve owned.
I can’t really say enough good things about this guitar, especially at the price. Sounds great, easy to use/tune, whammy, comes with a cable, looks fantastic!
Note: Does NOT come with: picks, case, stand, amp, strap. Just sayin’.
