A hard-rockin' monster lurks beneath its gorgeous exterior.

Based on Schecter's custom-shop Hollywood Classic, the C-1 Exotic Guitar's arched mahogany body is topped with solid flame maple. The 25-1/2"-scale mahogany neck is set with Schecter's ultra-access heel contour for unrestricted upper fret playability. The sleek ebony fingerboard is fitted with 24 jumbo hardened stainless frets.

Firepower comes from a pair of Super Rock humbuckers that are wound to the same exacting specs as Schecter's custom humbuckers. They produce a unique combination of warmth, clarity, and sonic diversity that is enhanced by a push/pull tone control that "taps" the Super Rocks to emulate single-coil tones. Upscale features include a TonePros locking tune-o-matic bridge and Grover high-ratio machines.

I have owned this guitar for about a year now. I have to say it is the best guitar I have ever owned. the schecter pickups are great, very versitile they also have alot of clarity. the neck on this guitar is unreal. to me its perfect, not too thick not too thin. The neck is also extremely fast. my only grip about this guitar is that they dont make one with a floyd rose. other that that A+ all around

Well this guitar kicks some but ! I haven't had this guitar for too long (2 days while writing this review, but i played it like 48 hours by now). The great thing about the guitar is that it sounds so great, i played on a Gibson SG before, and I also purchased the custom Les Paul, but they don't even come close to the sound you can get out of this mean machine.

Cheers to Schecter this is a nice guitar !

Custom shop looks and tone without the price tag

This guitar is really great. The mahogany body and set neck give the guitar great resonance. And the beautiful maple top and ebony fingerboard give it a sharp, cutting tone, great for leads. Simple dot inlays on the neck make position playing a breeze. No-nonsense players will find this is a very player-friendly instrument. The hand-rubbed satin finish has no clear coat over it, which allows the wood to “breathe” and gives it a deep, open bottom end, similar to a Les Paul. The Schecter SuperRock II pickups have a unique sound that must be heard to be appreciated. They’re loud, but also sound very articulate and three-dimensional. Striking looks, silky smooth playability, and monster tone - this guitar has it all. You can pay a lot more for a guitar, but you won’t find a better one than this. I highly recommend this one.
