Schecter C-1 Elite VS. Epiphone Les Paul

[Skullkrusher]

Ok guys, I found a REAL NICE epi les paul at my local shop for $530. I'm thinking about trading my Schecter C-1 Elite in for it. Do you think that would be a good idea or not? I've never owned an epi before, but this one feels real nice.

Personally, I'd rather have the Schecter, but to each his own. :laugh2:

The Les Paul type of neck just feels better in my hand than the thin neck on my Schecter. I've really been leaning towards thick necks lately. I think I'm gonna start having to use a baseball bat for a guitar neck.

I think you kind of said it. The Epi feels better to you, I'd go with the Epi.

You are 100% correct. It was so obvious I looked right over that point. I just wanted to make sure that I wasnt getting a "cheaper" guitar than what I want to trade in.

I can attest that I'm quite satisfied with the quality of the Epi Classic that I bought last month. (never played/owned a Schecter so I can't really compare them) Grover tuners, 500k pots, decent pups (although I replaced them), I am quite satisfied. Great value for the money.

Schecter Owns! Nothing can compare to them, thats why I love them. If you want different tone, get new pick ups, but Schecters are so great, I love their necks too. The best necks I have ever put my hands on! Epi's (and LPS expecially) are overplayed anyway...

I can't help but laugh at that .....and I own 3 Schecters that I absolutely adore.

Schecters have thin necks, so I'm not sure where you are going with that. Take your schecter in with you play them side to side as if you were gonna choose between buying either and decide.

The schecter tho, depending on its year, if its newer has better hardware and possibly pickups. I have a 2002 C-1 Plus, and the year after they stuck real duncans in those guitars as well as tone pro bridges.
