Schecter

Indonesia and s. Korea . Factory’s.. indo handles the entry level (500) s Korea -1k > schecterguitarresearch.com has good spec sheets on all their models . Everything but the weight. They all seem to be built for speed.

 

If you look at the spec sheet for a particular guitar on the Schecter site, they note the nut width (generally 42mm for FR, 43mm on most others), the neck thickness at a couple of points on the neck (depends), and the profile (generally a thin C).

They fit me well. I do not feel much difference between them, my Fender Player or Gretsch Streamliners.

 

I'm very happy with my S-1. The neck at first felt a little bit chunkier than I like but I think I got used to it.

 

Not too thin. Is comfortable for me but I like a thinner neck really.

Specs on this particular guitar.

• Fretboard Radius: 14" (355mm)
• Neck Shape: Thin C
• Thickness: @ 1st Fret- .787" (20mm)/ @ 12th Fret- .866" (22mm)
• Nut Width: 1.625" (41.3mm)

 

I have a 2003 Schecter C-1 Classic.
Based on my experience with it I would buy another Schector.
Great features, well built with top quality parts.
Arched Quilted Maple top, 2 octave Maple and Walnut Neck-thru construction, Mahogany body wings, Seymour Duncan pickups,
TonePros T3BT TOM w/ String Thru Body bridge setup,
Graph Tech Tusq XL Nut, Grover tuning machines...

A lot of guitar for reasonable money.
Plays excellent, with low action and sound great.
It has jumbo frets and the neck isn't super thin or thick, feels good in my hands.
It is a bit gaudy with the neck inlay but some people really like that.
Personally I would rather have a less flashy inlay, but I got it used under $200 w/HC needing only a Pot repair so yeah, I'll live with it

Extreme value on the used market

 

I have a Schecter Damien Elite. For the money, about £560 UK if I remember right, I can't fault it. Good quality build, EMG active pickups, great sounding guitar.

 

Neck feels quite slim. Satin finish, not gloss.

 

Thank you

 

Haven't owned one, but I've picked up several in the store than impressed me a lot. A friend, now deceased, who was very well off and quite the guitar snob, swore by his $500 Korean one. Said it was a better guitar value than any of his multi-thousand-dollar LPs, PRSs and Custom Shops.

 

No that's is on the C-1 FR Platinum

 

Have owned the Apocalypse? I’ve wondered about that one though I’m not much of a shredder or metal head

 

I guess the neck is a little thinner than some of my other guitars
Honestly with my playing style I never even noticed until tonight
I’m totally satisfied with my C1 Platinum though .

 

The Nick Johnston ones are where its at either the Indonesian ones or the USA ones especially are worth their weight in gold.



The Reaper 6 is also damn the most guitar you can get for 500-600$ and feels every bit as good as an MIJ or MIA guitar in quality, sound and feel. Not sure if they make one with a Floyd but the Hardtail is butter non the less.


Also some of their 250$ guitars are as good or better than any Squire costing close to twice as much. Those ones they make in the 250$ range I would easily rock and have no shame.



All around not just decent for the money but definitely goes above and beyond regarding quality and sound IMO.

 

These ones are pretty damn spectacular and just amazing!!!

Cheers
