I have played a couple schectors and they weren't C-1's but it was an Omen6 and the other was a Scorpion. I loved the necks and they had good weight and tone. I think I'm going with a Schector C-1 Stealth. Based on the pickups and the melding of a Les Paul custom look to a super strat style body and 24 frets I think it would be killer for tuning down to drop D or C or A or B. Give me some feedback guys, I'm about to drop some cash on one and I come here first for the best advice on the net.
