I have an opportunity to buy one pretty cheap. Brand new, never been played. Just not sure if I think it is cool looking...or hideous! I kind of like the rusted metal look, with rusty (looking) hardware. I don't know...seems a little too "METAL!!!! WOO!!!! \m/"...you know?

I have played different variations of the C-1 and thought they all played nicely...some of the bridges needed some adjustment, but overall they were slick. Since I value your opinions...what do you guys think?

Looks cool to me Ben! The inlays would be the only thing that would stop me from buying it if I were in the market for that set-up. Just me though man, I need the markers....

Posted by: Praetorian May 25 2009, 02:01 AM

Yeah...I'm with you on that one. I need markers too. Even on my Ibanez, I find it confusing...and that has the shark tooth inlays! I prefer simple and traditional dots. Not sure how those gears would be!

Praet, you're on a serious guitar buying spree aren't you?

Posted by: AlexLion May 25 2009, 07:00 AM

What are you waitin` for? BUY IT!

Posted by: blindwillie May 25 2009, 07:08 AM

Buy it.

Posted by: Velvet Roger May 25 2009, 07:19 AM

Very nice guitar Ben, I would say why not buy it

Posted by: berko May 25 2009, 07:29 AM

What are you waiting for? This offer looks nice!!

And although you'll have to get used to the inlays, at least you'll have to spend more time with this axe to figure out the frets. I guess that will be only for your benefit.

That's one awesome looking axe

I have a version of the C-1 and I love it. If it is a good deal and you don't have one I would get it. I never thought about the inlays making it easier to play. I used the dots on the top as I don't think I'm holding the thing correctly when I can see the inlays.

Posted by: Praetorian May 25 2009, 12:53 PM

Not a spree...just doing a whole lot of shopping around!

Posted by: Berglmir May 25 2009, 01:03 PM

Horrible, ugly looking guitar - DON`T buy it!!!!!!





err.....where did you say you could get it?!

Posted by: synfection May 25 2009, 03:04 PM

Buy it!!! if you dont i will !

Posted by: kaznie_NL May 25 2009, 04:32 PM

I get what you mean about it's either cool, or it sucks. I think it might be awesome

Posted by: Santiago Diaz Garces May 25 2009, 06:17 PM

Wow! Great paint job!!. For the markers, don't worry, you will get used to it in a very little time. And I think that it's better to get used to play without the markers because sometimes, when you play live, some lights that reachs the fretboard make the markers dissapear, and if you aren't used to play without them, will give serious headaches.

Posted by: Marek Rojewski May 25 2009, 06:24 PM

If I had spare money I would buy it as I think it is very original and cool. But a new one is 600$ on USA ebay, and 500-550 euro in Europe...

Posted by: Praetorian May 25 2009, 09:07 PM

Ok guys...I just bought it! It should be here in about a week!! I am quite excited!! Time to get METAL!! lol

As far as the fret markers...I was looking at the fretboard and noticed something...the gears are in fact on the proper frets! Kind of like the Vine of Life...if you look closely, you can see the gears on the 3rd, 5th etc. just like they are supposed to be!

I will take a bunch more pics when I get it for you guys!


THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR INPUT!!!

Posted by: audiopaal May 25 2009, 09:38 PM

Posted by: Santiago Diaz Garces May 26 2009, 01:40 AM

Great news!! Congratulations!!. Now you are ready to blow some mind on stage with that guitar!!. Now, you haven't excuses to keep studying, jajaja.

Posted by: Praetorian May 26 2009, 12:07 PM

Believe me brother...I am a LOOOOOOOOONG way from being up on a stage!

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic May 26 2009, 12:18 PM
