As my signature might suggest, I'm quite fond of Schecters ^^
I have a Schecter Omen 6, and I love it! I wanna buy a Schecter Tempest or C-1 Classic next.. The C-1 is just beautiful! -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

I've got a Schecter C-1 Classic AA. And I *love* it. They haven't got them at the local music store tough. So I took a chance and ordered it online. Couldn't stop to smile the day it arrived. But I already wrote about that in this thread. One has to be very careful about muting strings because of the ridiculous amount of sustain. So far every body who saw it was very impressed. The only thing I dislike about it is that I'm not able to get that heavy metal rhythm tone I'm looking for. So... I'll probably buy myself a hellraiser. And maybe a Hollywood Classic or Stiletto too! I'm definitely a schecter fanboy now

QUOTE (ztevie @ Feb 11 2009, 03:31 PM) Palm-muting riffing was not so easy on my C1 either. Because of the mahogany, I could never get the tightness I wanted My Ibanez is made out of mahogany too and has a tight sound. Many other metal axes are made out of mahagony too so I don't think that's the problem. Anyway, I'm quite certain the hellraiser is an excellent guitar for playing heavy riffs. So I'm sure they'll complement each other nicely. It was much better when I threw out the duncan designed and put a EMG 81 in bridge. But even though the 81 must be "the mother of palm-muting", I still wasn't 100% happy. - Jonas -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks

Changing the capacitor might actually be worth a try. Or just bypassing the whole tone control for now. I'll try that when I get bored. But I think its not just missing frequencies that could be fixed using an EQ, and I played around with an EQ for quite some time. It's quite hard to describe, it sounds a bit like a wah pedal to me.

QUOTE (ztevie @ Feb 11 2009, 06:46 PM) So, so I try to find a guitar that sounds close to my ideal tone from the very start in the chain, the guitar itself... Hm I think my C-1 Classic has actually loads of mids. The thing that it seems to lack is treble for that rhythm tone I'm looking for.I think everyone who plan to buy a new guitar should try it out acoustically first, listen to how the wood respond to picking. You will hear big differences even if you'd think an electric guitar unplugged is so silent. You will feel the sustain and the vibrations in the guitar, and, if the character feels bassy, trebley, clear, muddy or whatever... I look for guitars that are open-sounding, rich in harmonics, rich in sustain. I do not look for guitars that feel muddy or shrill.. I like mids!  QUOTE (ztevie @ Feb 11 2009, 06:46 PM) Anyway, that Schecter wasn't bad by all means. It was actually very nice. The only thing I didn't like was that slightly muddy feeling. Which may not appear in all C1+ guitars, or may not be a problem for someone else... I agree here. And honestly I do rather have one great sound than dozens of average ones. And another great thing about this schecter guitars is, I can buy a whole bunch of them for the price of a single PRS Custom 24. It was nice for soaring sustain-rich solos and crunchy rhytm though, I guess it's hard to get everything 100% in one guitar.  - Jonas -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks
