The C-1 Stealth At Musician's Friend ... ?

[hottoddy]

I hate taking expensive guitars out of the house and have been looking for a cheap, quality non-trem guitar. This string-thru caught my eye recently. Pretty damn nice for $499. I played a similar model at GC the other day and thought it was decent, but it had the Duncan-designed Pups. What do you think?

Carved mahogany body

I bought one a couple months ago, and it's a really great deal. The pickups rock, and it's a very very solid guitar, especially for only $499. I got it to have a good backup that wouldn't cost a ton, and I use it more than I thought I would. Highly recommended.

I agree with Electric: I've got the Papa Roach/Jerry Horton model, which is almost the same thing except for a Duncan Jazz at the neck, purchased from GC for about $580 w/case OTD (talked them down from their $599 + tax special). Very good quality guitar, good feel and construction. I was pleasantly surprized for this much from a Korean guitar. Highly recommend also.

I wanted the same thing....bought the stealth and now it is my main guitar ( I swapped out the stock pups for a JB and SH2N). I also just bought a C-1 Classic (neck thru, 25.5 scale) - I can't say enough good things about the quality. Definitely one if not the best medium cost imports. $500 is a steal.
