So, for the past few years Ive dabbled in all mid/high end guitars( up to the $4500 range) and up until now told myself I would never buy a sub $1k guitar. So, I've been playing the Schecter guitars at gc every time I go and can't help but be impressed with them for the price. Im really liking the Blackjack sls and the new hybrid hellraiser. The made in korea tag is starting to mean less and less to me and they seem to feel better than some of the stuff tagged at over $1500 and made in "better parts." I've also played a few of the USA made models and was thoroughly impressed. A Schecter may be in my near future. Anyone else experience this? Post your Schecters if you got em!
The BJ SLS is a sweet guitar.
I LOVE my Schecter, it's a C1-Classic.
It easily rivals my new made in Japan ESP Eclipse.
The SC feels better in my hands, plays cleaner with lower action, and has a better tone in comparison to the ESP.
Both have a JB bridge, C1 has Jazz neck, and ESP has '59 neck.
Schecter makes really nice guitars.
Also, you can find my thread on here about their awesome customer service.
My original 2005 C1 was faulty, seems the bridge was installed incorrectly when it was made.
I contacted Schecter and asked them about what can be done.
Tech said it's likely a defect and to send it in.
I did and they warranted the guitar by giving me a brand new C1-Classic reissue.
I paid around $600 w/no case in late '05. The reissue goes for around $700-$800 no case.
The ESP cost me around $1300 w/case.
This C1 one sounds even better than my original, and feels better too even though they are supposed to be the same guitar.
Neck through guitars are awesome for tone and sustain.
The C1 is my second neck-through guitar. My first was a 1982 Gibson Explorer II.
Get a Schecter. As you've experienced, it belies it's price point.
