Looks great but is that a matte finish? Hard to tell...the pics are really clear I just think you need better lighting and different angles. But congrats man

How are you liking those Pickups??
I played Actives most of my guitar life, but I've moved away from them.
Schecter hasn't quite put out the ideal Axe for me tho.. I'd prefer a carved top body with 1V and 1T for Christ sake..
They have some Elites like that but they are Active equipped and I'd rather have a solid type color FTMP, but yours is really nice..

These Fishman Fluence Moderns are great pickups.

The trem has a brass claw, and black HD springs, and pop in arm. The guitar is absolutely loaded.

It was a disaster. Garbage, I returned it immediately. QC was non-existent. Tool marks, gouges, glue, poorly cut nut, terrible..

Warned u. 😭

But I'm glad you ended up getting a much nicer guitar. Congrats!

Man, this thing is sick! I had to have it..

The fretwork rivals the MIJ Jackson I had. Not a tool mark, flaw, or oops to be found. SS frets are buttery smooth. It set up beautifully. Got the treble side just above 1mm at the 12th, bass side 1.25mm. Butter.. You can't beat this quality for $1300. Schecter does it right. (Need to upgrade to a better phone/camera)..

This thing is beautiful. congrats!
 
I love those fades from the neck back.
Wish I had done one when I was with Dean.
 
I just ordered the C1 Silver Mountain in their toxic venom finish. I've been eyeballing that guitar since they released it in 2020. I recently had an avenue to get them through a dealer, so I have one on order.

The guy I'm getting it from ordered thet guitar for himself. He's been drooling over that bloodburst finish. It looks sweet. Congrats.

Curious to hear your impressions about those pickups.

That's actually been my only concern. I have heard some Schecter pickups that sound fantastic, and I have no doubt about their quality, but they might not be the right pickups for me. I fear they might have more bite and not enough midrange warmth for me. I might have a JB/59 in it pretty quick.
 
Cool man.. Schecters are nice. I have 3 now.
I ended up getting that Reaper Elite in the BB finish..

I've had experience with the Pasadena/Pasadena+, and they are fantastic pickups. I've also had a guitar with a Sunset Strip in the bridge. Also fantastic. That one reminded me somewhat of an Aldrich. Kind of a refined JB. DEFINITELY better than a JB.

I've only heard/read about their super high output pickups being somewhat bright. But, some of that is the woods. My C-1 is bright, but also an ash body.

The Sonic Seducers are pretty much the opposite of what players expect them to be. They are bright, articulate, medium output and far form being extremely tight and super dj0nt metal oriented. Great in a band setting, but not what laptop guitarists are asking for atm
