I've played a schecter C1, and I must say I didn't like the neck profile, I found the fingerboard edges really sharp, I found it quite uncomfortable, massively microphonic and it really didn't float my boat. I find many of their maple topped guitars look really cheap in the flesh, and I think they're massively overpriced for what they are. The C1 elite is a £300 pound guitar, plain and simple.
Remember my mathematical equation Sambo, you know it makes sense ;)

lol! dave.. :lol:

and Ben... haha.... it is damnnnn tempting... im just trying to think... there must be a reason... why the Dean is cheaper... its one of those things where it almost seems TOO cheap to be true...

hmmm

Metal guitars without trems are hard to find (but infinitely better due to being able to change tunings without having to dismantle the $%&#er)

I had a thread not so long ago with many links to sites whereby people were helping me choose (http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5405 )...

The Cort KX1 appeared to get the majority of votes (over the Washburn X50) - cheapest I've found online so far is £400 but that was without really looking hard http://www.guitars.co.uk/acatalog/Cort_KX1.html and the setup policy of this place is good enough that I'd be happy to buy unseen from them

But then in the end I'm still left thinking "$%&# it, I'll save and buy a Legra" :lol:

EDIT: (wow I feel like dave) - changed layout to make reading easier :)

loL!

yer i remember glancing at this thread... gonna look at it in more detail now... what made you decide to save up then?

Umm Bob from Legra PMd me to remind me of his existance, and I figured that I can get a guitar that I know has been built well and has decent wood/components for not loads more money - I can at least be sure of it's heritage as it were :lol:

sambo · « **Reply #24 on:** October 03, 2006, 08:34:36 PM »

lolll

how much more is 'not much more'?

deg0ey · « **Reply #25 on:** October 03, 2006, 08:36:23 PM »

Well we have a "gentleman's agreement" that I'll take the green one on the site off his hands when I next get paid - I think it works out at about £600ish once he puts the Rebel Yells in for me :P

sambo · « **Reply #26 on:** October 03, 2006, 08:39:03 PM »

lol hmmm that seems a good price...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

deg0ey · « **Reply #27 on:** October 03, 2006, 08:40:55 PM »

Yes, but it's ex-demo and I dunno if he has any left - and you can't have my green one!

Maybe you could email him and ask what he's got lying around?

sambo · « **Reply #28 on:** October 03, 2006, 08:45:08 PM »

lol! dont worry i wasnt thinking of nabbing it.... yer ill check out his site...

interesting... how does the actual spec compare to a schecter/washburn/cort though?

deg0ey · « **Reply #29 on:** October 03, 2006, 08:49:57 PM »

Brazilian mahogany body, American maple neck and Amazon roseboard fretboard :P Umm, not so sure about the rest of it - I think the tuners are grovers, but I don't know why I'm just guessing...

25" Scale which is unusual (ish) - Seems quite PRS like in shape, styling and scale length...should be a good one :drink: :lol:

EDIT: See if he's still got the MG602F :drink:
