Enjoy the review :)
Love the detail in your reviews, just getting to the pickups segment
You look naked! Why’d you shave?!.
I’ll be back later to watch because I’ll be getting up to make dinner but had to cry 😭 before.
I could barely tell it was you 😂😂
Daryl please check out the Schecter Mach6 with evertune. I want to hear your opinion about it before I pull the trigger.
Oh my goodness. I'm so glad you got
ahead of this because I was going to be that guy who mourned the loss of your beard in a comment.
DBG, Darrell: Beardless Guy
😂😂😂
@@DarrellBraunGuitar Darell can you review soloking ms1 classic 🙏🙏 they claimed to have customshop specs at extremely affordable price
Therapist: Beardless Darrell doesn't exist, he can't hurt you.
Beardless Darrell:
Why hasn't Schecter surpassed the big brands? Everything is there for them to do so by the way I had no idea before I started watching your chanel now I want at least 4of them, you should get a marketing department chief executive salary:)
I also wonder that. I had the Schecter PT Fastback, and it was one of the best playing guitars that I have had.
The guitar world is extremely conservative. Personally i love their guitars but can't play their necks, they’re just too thin and my left hand start to fatigue.
The company ws sold in the 80´s by the founder D.Schecter to an investment group from Texas,who mismanaged them for years,until it was sold again in the mid-90´s to H.Shibuya.
You may know him as the founder and CEO of ESP, he also owns the LTD, Edwards,Navigator,Grassroots,Takamine brands and is the President of the famous GIT Musicians Institute in Hollywood (Paul Gilbert was a teacher there).
He moved Schecter back to California and put in charge people who were originally working there.The current CEO is a former custom shop guy and pro guitarist.
For years,their marketing strategy was to appeal to the metal demographic were they´re very popular,but lately they have expanded their model range and have added some really cool models.
Still,most guitar buyers prefer to throw their money to Gibson and Fender,because of their prestigious names,but small brands like Schecter are getting more and more popular.
Purists. People long for certain names and headstocks...sometimes with good reason, but usually it's because of the misconceptions they've built up in their heads. (And I don't mean to be critical, I catch myself suffering from the mystique of certain guitars as well...)
Marketing and lack of brand awareness. I'm a hardcore Schecter fanboy but a lot of their naming convention is really cringe
Schecter makes really cool and exotic shred machines, that's for sure!
I just got my exotic today....I have been playing the guitar for 47 years....I have seen and played thousands of guitars and in my opinion shecter is making some of the best production guitars in the world today.....
Thousands!???
Thousands!!!
What a clown you are
I have a c-1 diamond series, the one with the emg’s and grover tuners. Very beautiful and comfortable to play.
I just picked myself up a C-1 platinum diamond series great guitar a tad heavy but fun to play and great value
The platinum let me down...but I had a reaper I liked but just traded for a fernandes revolver elite. Now my hellraiser hybrid PT is a god damn beast. A sexy beast.
I got a diamond series body. I'm fitting a strat style neck on it with locking tuners. The pickups sound great, because I have the bridge pickup in a partscaster with a S1. But I'll put the pickups back in and have fun with it. A little heavy but overall great guitar
I have a Diamond Series C-1 Élite in Amber from 2003. It has a maple neck. Schecter only made the maple-necked amber-colored C-1Élite for that one year; in 2004 the whole line got mahogany necks. Frets look like they need a fret job; guitar plays and sustains like it doesn't. Should go ahead and give it one and see what happens. Best guitar I've ever had.
C-1+ from the early 2000s is the favorite guitar I have. Always wanted one with a wilkinson style bridge. This is the closest thing to that I think. I am not a huge fan of the spalted maple but I love the inlays. I wish I liked the inlays of the other exotic schecter made this past year
This *is* one of the most *BEAUTIFUL* looking guitars I have ever seen in my not-so-short life! Thanks Darrell! 😄😍
If I had a dollar for everyone who mentioned that Darrell Shaved I'd be able to afford this guitar. Great review as always, man.
I support you completely against Chibson Darrel 💀💀🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽💀💀💀💀
They just released another hit piece against me! They MUST be stopped! 💪
@@DarrellBraunGuitar I saw it they going DOWN
@@DarrellBraunGuitar I can't believe those guys somehow got personal pics of you camping and canoeing (awesome lake btw) and littered their "hit piece" with all kinds of compliments...those monsters!
😁😁😁👍
@@DarrellBraunGuitar is this fake tho or did they rlly just do this out of nowhere btw where you ur free drugs
That is quite stunning thanks Darrell 🙌🎸😍
My initial thought with those pickups and first impressions of the top is that this would be a real classic rock machine. Then when it came to the neck it was like the whole think was catapulted forwards in time by about 50 years with the purple heart and graphite rods. The sound, however, does still seem to be pure classic rock. Taking that whole vibe with the vintage sounds and modern playability features make this guitar seem to be the best of both worlds. Also these pickups have the best split sound I have heard from 'standard' style humbuckers.
These are handwound, Made in USA Schecter custom shop pickups,they sell them also separately as aftermarket pickups for other guitars.
And Schecter´s pickups are really good,on the same level with any Duncan or DiMarzio model.
They even have a wide range from vintage PAF´s to super high-output ceramic models.
Schecter is really brining it lately with some great options and just well built guitars. I have bought 2 this year and love each one. Probably be buying another one. I have had 8 in my time and not a single one bad. Only traded one back in for another Schecter, it had the sustaniac in it, which just wasn't me. Was still a great guitar though.
My jaw dropped when he said the price. From one of the big houses that charge for their name, no less than $5,000 (USD) maybe $5,500 with the coil split option.
Schecter isn't usually on my radar, but that is a beautiful and great sounding guitar
The metal rings around the pickups really throw me off since they dont match well with the pickup rings. Other than that it looks awesome.
Agreed..better without
Lose the speed knobs... Make it Brauny!!! At least cream colored!! I wish you could do some videos with Michael Kelly Guitars! They make some really cool TELE style guitars hint hint!!
Wouldn't stainless frets be a worthwhile feature on this otherwise loaded axe? It should at least be an optional upgrade.
If i was in the market to buy a guitar rn, this would most definately be the one. What an instrument, and what a nice review
Nice guitar! I would love to see a side by side against the PRS SE Custom 24.
PRS all the way
I bought the ebony version of this guitar about a month before you uploaded this and I have to say I LOVE it. You truly can't beat the versatility for the price. Those new pickups from Schecter really sound great and I'm a huge fan of the crisp cleans I can get with the coil splitting. The fit and finish of the guitar is great and you just can't beat the price! Would buy again in a heartbeat!!
Do you have an idea of the weight?
@@bluwng It weighs a little less than six pounds.
How is the trem i can't find any demos of it. Can you do basic dives with it?
@@danguitarman91 Yes the trem is very nice and basic dives work great! I've used it quite a bit and it works and feels great. No issues with it going out of tune or anything like that either.
@@blakesutherland798 would love to see it in action, got any vids?
That is the Schecter I want I'm a huge Schecter fanboy I love their guitars they do so many great products at Schecter
I would even go so far as to say that i have felt privileged to play one ; my friends C2, a sweet machine!
I always looked down my nose at schecter until I got one. Then two and now three!
I recently elected for the new PT Fastback (black finish!) over a Fender strat and was stunned at the quality. Ridiculous value for a $600 guitar.
You should show us the C-1 Exotic Ebony
Just bought this.. Amazing guitar and comes well setup. Just needed to pull the strings a bit and it stays in tune. Georgeous looking. Cannot wait for Saturday to take it out on a gig.
My heart was set on a beautiful mid ranged Gretch, however, could not get the gretch to stay in tune with the bigsby so settled for this and cannot be any happier.
Your review was key in my trying the guitar and eventually making the purchase. Thank you so much.
man as a lemonburst guy, it’s tempting to buy this instead of a LP traditional.
you should have both
Did you get a refund from the Chibson?
Beautiful schecter c1 exotic split mape top
Idk...I feel like your playing would've been better with the beard.
Jk Darrell, you're amazing 😂
Tonebeard?
Hmmm… Do you think Darrell likes this one? It looks great, sounds good, plays like it should, and - most important for starving guitarists in the time of COVID - the price is excellent for the feature set. Well done, Darrell (and Schecter).
I really need to stop watching this channel. I'm seriously running out of wall space,...😉
Omw to ask my dad for $800 to get this
That coil split toggle is somewhat odd looking but , overall - looks and sounds great 👍! Thanks for the video
I like your video, the review, but damn that top wood makes it look it's made from cardboard. I immediately remember your Chibson video.
Cahyo Amiseso Thank you! I had decided that I was the only person in the world thinking that guitar is ugly. Except the neck, that rules. And I like the Schecter C-1.
Are Schechter and LTD made by the same factory? They look so much alike.
Both companies are owned by the same guy.
Its a great guitar and the cost is even greater, schecter quality is just hard to beat for a bunch of price points, sweet deal. Thanks!
You asked "what do you think it costs, well in Australia the dealer wants nearly $2200Aus. Thats a bucket load more than the conversion from $US and confusing when you consider it made right next door in Indonesia. Why so dear???
Review a Schecter C-1 deluxe. Much cheaper guitar for beginners, that I think a lot of people would like.
❤Love all your video reviews❤, but in my opinion and because what I search... I would like to know more about the measures of a guitar, like the thickness of the fretboard, if the frets are Jumbo and well polished, scale size... and more detailed/personal opinion comparing to other models alike. But, no doubt you are the best guitar reviewer on the planet. Thanks for your work.
If this guitat made in the 🇺🇸 it would've costs 2k easy....but right now Indonesia is the cheapest for manufacturers...
Never thought i would live to say it, but... Schecters (and many other imports )look , sound, and feel better than most US gibson and fenders.. it is a sad day when a sub to mid $1000 import blows away a $5000 us made. sad indeed , we have totally lost our will , our values , and our pride ..
🚬🐕
Kinda seems like Schecter's take on a PRS.
Yeah thats what I thought. I was actually looking between an se pauls guitar and this guitar but in ebony. This has more features but not sure on the tone. I think im leaning on to this one though. The midrange is so clear and the coil taps impressed me.
I, also, love the Schecter C1 series--I have a C1 Shedevil myself. One of the reasons (among many) I bought my guitar was the unbelievably smooth junction between the neck and body. I note that's missing on the C1 Exotic--but I like the locking tuners, and the finish is outstanding. Another great guitar by Schecter and video by Darrell!
Darrell, I bought the last C1 style with neck-through the body, and Floyd Rose. You were spot on then, so I will consider the Exotic as well.
Same here, though I bought hard-tail C1 sls elite :)
I was ready to pull the trigger, but those pickups sound lacking to me. Way to dark sounding and doesn't go with the look. Some sweet sounding chime in all of that would have totally sold me. Beautiful guitar though!
Great vid, super sweet guitar! One extremely minor critique - when you mention a price, it would be helpful to know if that was Canadian dollars or US or what. I know you’re in Canada, so I would expect the price to be in Canadian. However, I don’t want to assume anything.
I play mostly heavy metal , hard rock and some 80s and 90s rock , and I'm thinking to buy a reaper, this c-1 exotic or PT pro , what do you think??
I mean, looking for.some versatility.
Recently got this guitar based on this review. It’s just as if not more beautiful than pictured. It is an extremely versatile guitar.
How's the trem?
@@danguitarman91 good question.
@tommorrow2539 mine goes out of tune immediately after using the trem. But I also haven't done a proper setup on it since I bought it. So idk
Reasonable price for north america, europe, etc. For south america anything from north is too expensive. You should try some Tagima guitars. Some product lines are handmade in Brazil! Awesome instruments :)
terrible place for the pickup select switch. the wait i roll of the volume my fingers would hit the pickup switch. but the guitar sounds amazing.
Thanks Darrell! Awesome review of a really NICE guitar.
This piece is one hella value for money... great...... could I find it in black / cherry red body/top/hardware???????
Had to get the Vine inlay model. Had a thru body C-1 Classic with the vine inlay back in 08-09 time frame, got rid of it for lack of tremolo and have wanted another vine ever since. My original vine had a lot more features and detail though. Still, it's refreshing not paying $5,000 like I did for my last guitar.
I wish all these guitars had chunkier necks, like the Ibanez AZ has. They really are much more comfortable to a lot of players. 19mm to 20mm thin at the 12th fret is stupid thin.
19 to 20? What are you smoking
Hi,
Im thinking to buy this Guitar but I have a Little question. Do you think it will work for like Metal/High Gain stuff (for ex. Extreme)?
Thanks and have a nice day.
Nice sunburnt finish, but why make such ugly pointy assed guitars!!! Ibanez makes the ugliest pointy assed guitars, so why copy them??? Make it in more of L.P. or Tele style design and I'll buy one!
A pity it arrives in France with 30% import fees + shipping, Shecters are damn crazy... I can get a nice Solar at that price in Europe
Beautiful guitar. I’d love one. I have 6 guitars, my American Pro Hss Strat is my go to, my Gibson Les Paul sits in its case. Love my G&L ASAT. But I think I’d prefer this Schecter over my PRS SE Floyd Rose. Never loved the neck or pickups on my SE. But it never goes out of tune. This one looks really nice.
That guitar is really beautiful.
But there's something I don't like which is the trem.
Can someone recommend me a trem replacement for the wilkinson trem because I don't like the feel of that trem that much.
$799 is $1076 aud. Nope in Australia it sells for $1500 so we're ripped off here.
That be around 666 €. Guess what they cost in Germany... 900 € (1100 USD)...
@@lordlorzius Shipping can't cost that much, can it? I wonder what the wholesale is from the US? Someone's profit margins are high.
Suddenly Sean McVay has taken over Darrell’s YT channel! 😜🤘🏻🎸
It looks like a PRS
Darell, I consider this guitar in mahogany version. I just can’t find how big interval this Wilkinson trem gives me up and down. What’s its range please? Thank you!
Loved the review of the Schecter C-1 Exotica I just received my own this past Saturday and its a great guitar great feel, weight and sounds great, second Schecter guitar for me. Have you looked at any of the IYV guitars, love to see a review of one of them. Thanks.
Gives me all the warm and fuzziest seeing all these commenters who were sleeping on Schecter guitars. Yamaha is lauded as bang for buck, but once you get out of the $200-$300 range Schecter just takes the wheel.
Ahh you didn’t play it in a mix, what’s wrong your not feeling well??? LOL stay safe
Where is the beard?
I've bought 3 Schecter guitars. After each one you would think I would have learned my lesson. I guess because they look nice and are cheap. Worst sounding guitars I've ever bought. Never again!
Schecter > the Hyundai equivalent for guitars, great value with many optionals included :-)
$799! Not in my wildest dreams as a kid would I have thought to ever have seen this much guitar for the money. G.J. Darrell!
Picked one up on Reverb for $500 including shipping. Had 3 dime size dents in the body. Got lucky
Honestly I'd buy it just for the Wilkinson.
The stock hardware on many pricey Fenders is tinny garbage! And for the big price you hardly get a PRS-level finish.
can you review a Slick guitar. Thanks. Reasonable model.
I’ve had that trem. Very good trem when I had it. But on this guitar, does the trem hold its tune?
Hey Matt can you do basic dives on this trem?
Yup. It’s a solid trem you just need to set it up and make sure you have a proper nut on your guitar
The ebony on my fret board is really bad quality and the binding is cracked after only a few months at almost every single fret, the pickup switch also digs into the top pretty bad, pick ups are horrid will be changing asap could certainly do without the 50 dollar trem its awful if i didnt get it for extremely cheap I'd be mega mad.
I always wanted a American built PRS - until now. I no longer feel I need to spend so much money on a guitar. I'm a gigging player who uses guitars as working tools.
Love the Chibson Les Paul cardboard cut-out on display behind you😆😂🤣
Yo darrell i got this guitar in the Ebony version a month and a half ago! I was waiting for it for 3 months, and im so glad i waited for it!! I was pleasantly surprised to see this video in my notifications cuz now i can be even more reinforced in my decision even more XD. Anyways keep up the good content!
I honestly never would have considered a Schecter... then I watched this video. Now I’m saving for one. Lol.
I have this one but the Ebony Version
It's fkin awesome for the price to be honest, and it's so pretty, specially the fretboard (mine has special inlays called the "vine of life")
Can you help me with the trem? Can you do basic dive bombs on it?
Heinous! You deleted my post because I said it looked like a PRS but had a high output pickup and Schecter should have put a more classic rock pu. Not cool, DB, not cool.
The Hagstrom XL5 is a great guitar it has a really great neck and is a HSH config with a coil tap and 5 way switch. I’ve had mine for years and it is still my favourite guitar I own to play. I paid $600 for it about 15 years ago.
Beautiful guitar. I can appreciate your busy. What distortion pedal and amp are you using. Cheers
There's a new c 715 coming out. I think that's what it's called. Will you review that?
I've long been a huge fan of the Schecters. Here in Scotland (UK) they make fleeting appearances, but every one I've played has been brilliant. I currently own an Omen Extreme-FR, and it's one of my top three go-to guitars. I previously had a beautiful eighties Pacific from the California custom studio. I was gutted when I had to sell it. This one looks amazing!
Curse you DBG! Just when I thought I didn't need yet another guitar! Great guitar and great value. God bless and rock on.
Man that is about as awesome as they come . I only wish the bolts on the neck where 🤔 ummmm. Covered with a matched set of screw hole plugs same color as body . Jumped to order and then smack in the face with all the holes with Philip standing looking back . Hope an option comes around to change it sorry just my taste.
You just sold me on this fiddle. Schecter salesman of the year. Let's see the Tempest Cusgom review.
Thank you Darrell for influencing me on getting another guitar! I got this guitar last week and all that I can say is WOW! Also, this got me in trouble with the little lady! Just because this is my eighteenth guitar, why does she have to get so mad?
Don’t know why but the schecter logo looks like something out of wolfenstein 😂 wish they put the traditional logo on this instead, I know it’s a very minor thing but I feel a more traditional type player would be the buyer in this case.
I feel like this is aimed squarely at the PRS SE exotic wood line of guitars. How would you say this compares?
Goddamn that's a gorgeous guitar. I have a Schecter 7 string that I never play. I'd gladly trade it for that.
I hope Schecter let you keep this guitar because this was an amazing review!
I love my Evil Twin FRS, and I also have the older Banshee extreme in charcoal burst. Great guitars and wicked fast fret boards. I am really torn between my evil twin and Ibanez Iron Label RGA.
I said (to myself) 800usd... 😉 So I won! (To myself)
Who else?
Will you review the Nick Johnston signature you had for a while? Got mine few days ago and love it, would like to hear your thoughts.
Man I want to see what you think of blue chip picks. Pretty expensive, but would like to see if you think it’s worth it.
Have you noticed that some vendors have them with black knobs, and others have them with dark orangish knobs?
Dude I guessed like 1800 dollars for the price lol maybe I’ll get a schecter next
You should check out Slick guitars from GuitarFetish - I’d be curious to get your thoughts.
