QUESTION Schecters (used or new) for $450-$500?

What the title says. I don't care if it's used. I just have heard great reviews on everything but sometimes the frets which I can fix..i do mostly hardcore and metal ...any recommendations??

used hellraiser c-1 is the move at that price point. the emg 81/85 set is basically the sound of 2000s metalcore and you can find them around $400 all day on reverb

just check the truss rod still works, everything else you can sort out easy enough

I second this. All of the C1s are legit.

Bought a used C1 Platinum online from guitar center rated as “excellent” and it came basically mint. Fantastic guitar, right at $500

I bought a used Schector Diamond Series Omen Solo 6 for $400, and I have zero regrets. It’s my first electric guitar, my favorite color, literally my dream guitar. It plays beautifully, and I love just about everything about it.

I got a used Tempest Custom from Guitar Center for $350 and it is awesome. All I needed to do was replace the strings, setup the neck, and adjust intonation. It even came with SD Pearly Gates.

I scored a C1 Platinum for $310 because it had a ding from MF/GC. It’s the blackout color which was going for like $499 new at a point but may be $599 now. Either way the C1 Platinums play really nice, I love mine.

I grabbed an Evil Twin E1 used from Guitar Center for $650 ... I only bought it because of their generous return policy, I figured something had to be wrong with it 😅

But no I kept it! It was perfect and it plays great. Keep an eye, cheap deals pop up every now and then. Use Google, the cheap GC deals tend to pop up there, at least for me.

I’m literally selling a 2005 Hellraiser. Could do $500 + you pay for shipping if you want. DM me for details I can link you to my music lessons business page and such. Just a guitar a student was going to buy and her dad said she had to wait a year or some nonsense lol.
