Now that I have my MIA Strat (one of these days I'll post pictures), I don't need this Schecter anymore. So here it is.
It's a Schecter C1+ purchased around May 2004. Comes with a Tonepros locking bridge, Grover tuners, and Duncan Designed HB-103 Distortion pickups. Mahogany body and neck with maple cap on body, rosewood fretboard with "Vector" inlays and 24 frets, body and neck binding. Unlike all the other C1-series guitars, this is a Gibson-length 24.75" scale.
The guitar plays awesome. The neck is smooth and fast. It's very well balanced, and not heavy at all. It's a balanced sounding guitar too, thick but with a definite hint of brightness and clarity. It's currently set up for and strung with 10s, though I used 9s for much of its life.
There are some bad points:
I'm looking for $300 + shipping. It will come shipped in a pretty nice gigbag, though it has some marks from where my cat scratched it.

There are some bad points:
- The neck pot should be replaced. I think through numerous pickup swaps, I toasted it. It will still work if you take the back plate off and move the lugs around a bit.
- I tried replacing that pot once, but found that CTS pots had a bigger shaft than stock and couldn't fit through the hole. I tried to drill the hole, but ended up chipping some of the finish off and drilling an uneven hole. The knob and washer that are on there now cover it up, though.
- The back has numerous dents and dings from rivets on my jeans.
- The front has playwear from 3 years of picking
- The front also has some factory-supplied grey swirl marks in the fiinsh. They're deeper than the clearcoat, because polishing has not taken them out.
