marquis i forgot I think the C-1 FR compares to jackson dinkys mostly they have 24 frets and a floyd rose. But the beat almost every guitar except the Randy Rhoads they tie because of the 2 volumes you can do the cut offs which is one of my favorite guitar tricks. But a cool thing about the Schecters are that they have split coils so you can put in push pull pots. its very versitial.
