Extremely diverse in sound. The array of tones you can achieve from this guitar are absolutely amazing!! The only reason I did not give it a 10 is because I feel that Schecter could have used genuine Duncans w/out a cost increase. However, the sound is still great. You certainly won't get a better sound out of any other guitar in this price range or $500-$700 bucks more!!

Again, the sounds are great. The coil tap is awesome, the Grovers, Tone Pros and the wood is outstanding. Excellent features. You will not find another guitar with these professional features w/in the same price range.

You can have a $10 amplifier, and this thing will still sound and play great. The neck is fast and smooth. The wood allows your effects to sound real crisp and clear.

It is built extremely sturdy. You can feel the quality of the build simply by holding it.

As stated above, I believe Schecter could have used genuine pick-ups w/oout a cost increase. With that said, you still WILL NOT find a better value for the money.

Never had to call for help, so that is a testament in and of itself in regards to support.

It looks absolutely stunning!!! The finish and color are wonderful. The pictures don't give this guitar it's do justice. You'll have to see it to believe it.

Absolutely beautiful tones from deep full warm mids and lows in full humbucker to nice sharp single coil tones. Magnificent design to enhance the semi-hollow body sound. This just has to be heard to be believed for this price. The duncan design hb101 are good enough to be keepers. Compare the sound of these pups to the real SD 59's. If you're honest, you probably can't tell the difference. Nothing I say could possibly convince you that a $600 guitar could sound like this. You really just won't believe until you play it.

Nice thick semi-hollow body design and set neck allows for ample woody hollow resonance. Grover tuners and tone pros bridge keep the intonation perfect. Tapped duncan design humbuckers provide a wide variety of beautiful tones. Book matched deeply flamed maple top easily matches PRS 10 top quality. As good as this guitars sounds it could just as easily be bought as art.

Nice fast thin neck. Watch the high e. The palm can sometimes buzz it. Once mastered though, it sure is a cool effect.

OK. Go to the store and litterally grab a PRS and the C-SH-1. The Vintage Transparent Red deep flamed top is definitly in PRS 10 league.

The C-SH-1 is clearly worth twice its price. There really are not that many great sounding guitars in this price range. This guitar sure makes Fender and Gibson look really ridiculously over priced. If mine were stolen and the price went up, I'd definitly put in some overtime and buy it again.

No comment yet.

I went to the music store just to mess around with absolutely zero intention of buying anything. I have never bought anything without exhaustive research first. Well, I played it and now I own it. But really, how hard a decision was it. The C-SH-1 looks like a swim suit model and drives like my convertible Porsche.

Just got a back up axe and this axe sounds as good as my Gretsch. Its tones and pull up knobs are exceptional. Looks are beautiful and it fits in well with the blues I play. It is a great guitar for the money this is a tribute to the people at schecter, don't be afraid buy one.

This is one beautiful guitar. I bought the black, stnning- what a deal. It would get a ten for sound except for the Duncan designed 101 pups. Out of the case it sounded good when cranked on guitar volume knobs set to ten, rolled back it sounded terrible and muddy. I thought to replace the pups (because it played so well, and sounded great unplugged) but after talking to my tech, he suggested adding capacitors to the volume knobs before throwing the pup away. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It sounds fantastis and warm at all stages of volume swell. I am giving a nine only because it would rival ANY guitar with real Duncans or simular.

The coil tap and warm but defined hollow body sound is wonderful! Tee 22 fret neck is awesome as well as the abalone inlays. Not gaudy as I feared. Everyone who sees it, (and I'm talking seasoned LA professionals) think it costs WAY more. If it didn't say Dunkan designed and Diamond Series, I could say I paid two grand and pull it off!

After the capacitor mod, it sounds warm and thick. Great for blues, jazz, and hard rock. I don't think it could pull of metal, but that's not for me.

There are no flaws unless I get REALLY anal. Binding is set perfect, finish is flawless, fret work and neck are awesome.

I feel like I stole it.

I hear they are great, but I sent two e-mails with questions and they were ignored.

The CSH1 produces beautifully complex full bodied tones in humbucker mode. The body may be a semi-hollow body, but the body shell is a very thick mahogany and transmits the resonance beautifully into the PUPs. The set mahogany, maple, rosewood neck and the through body stringing have been engineered to provide a clear sustain and tight articulation of pick action. The PUPs are pretty good. They are supposedly built to the specifications of the Seymour Duncan '59s. To my ears they're quite good. Split, the humbuckers have a nice single coil sound. I really like the tone of splitting the neck and leaving the bridge in humbucker. The only issue is that the neck is set for speed and the action is so low that the lower note strings will buzz in cords past the sixth frett sometimes. I haven't had a chance to raise the tone pros on that side yet and it really doesn't happen all the time.

For the money, wow. Decent pups, grover tuners, tone pros bridge, split tapped coils, etc. The only issue is the tone controls are a little staticy when and only when moved.

Set for lead. Thin neck. Very comfortable. Frets could be a little better finished on the top surfaces.

Squeeky Pots, one tiny spot of uneven finish in the f hole spoil an otherwise absolutely gorgous guitar. If this guitar were a girl I would be soo shot down.

Exceptional. A reasonable attempt to capture the essence of a PRS at an affordable price point.

No Opinion Yet

I wonderfully executed concept. Beautiful tones. Gorgeous finish. Basically, if you are looking for some new tones in a quality guitar that is still afordable, try one out. I suspect you'll be impressed.
