yeah, I have played a C1+ many times and liked it lots(for a 24 fret, only 24 fret guitar I ever liked)...I didnt like the Ducan Designed pickups much...but other than tha its amazing...only reason I dont own one is because I hate 24 fret guitars...The strat is also an amazing guitar...probably more verastile, but the Schecter wilkl give you better Rock tone, and more balls...
