Saw one of these posted locally on Facebook about a week ago. The first guitar that I bought myself was a black and cream Les Paul so I've been a sucker for black and cream finishes since then. Scored this for $300 with a hard case. It's got several scratches and a few dents, but really nothing major and nothing unexpected from a 13 year old guitar. The Seymour Duncans sound great and was the main reason I bought this guy.

Solid guitar at a great price. I like the look too.

Which Duncans do you know? I have a C1+ that I also bought For $300 - but new.

These "cheap" Schecters are not terrible. Some of them are (some of the neck's just feel terrible), but not all of them are. The SDs are supposed to be a JB and a '59. I played several of my songs earlier with this guitar and was able to really get some great tones. Love this piece of shit.

Nice score at a nice price! Considering the cost of a new hard case you basically paid $125-150 for the actual guitar, lol.

I also like to factor in the pickups, but I guess they were stock so it's not the same as someone replacing some no-names with some SDs. But yeah, great deal all the way around.

Agreed. Even if you planned on replacing them that set would fetch a hundred bucks used on the local level so you still wouldn't be in it that deep.

Right exactly. So I got a hard case and some nice pickups that came attached to a beat up guitar.
In the case? Two extra sets of strings, an instrument cable, and a cheap wall mount. NOT complaining at all about this deal. I just gotta restring it and clean it. It's dusty. I don’t think it's been played or touched in years.

That's pretty much how I look at all my guitar purchases. What features does it have that I want and what does it have that I don't want but can sell to recoup some of the dough.

Cool. My C1+ came with 'Duncan Designed' pups and I promptly replaced them with a Custom Custom I had and a '59. They didn't have the Duncan name on them so maybe yours are actual Duncans?

Yeah, I think those Duncan Designed pickups are indeed different than the "real" SDs.
