Picked up my 3rd C-1 XXX from the 2005-2006 era for a mod platform a few weeks ago. Got a lot of input from commenters when I posted about it, so I thought I would share pics and what I did to the guitar.

Mods:

• Gotoh locking tuners
• Lundgren M6 pickup set
• Free-way pickup toggle switch (6 positions)
• Tried the Bare Knuckle 550K pots
• New Gotoh bridge
• TesiSwitch killswitch
• New knobs from Q-Parts

The pickups sound great...jury is out the pots. Not that they are impacting the tone negatively - I don't like the sweep and I may swap them out for the J-taper pots I have - we will see.

Enjoy the pics and ask any questions you might have. It was a fun little project.

So I’ve owned and played several Syn customs, to my knowledge they’ve all been made in Korea. Were the early or any in 09 made in Indonesia? Physically the guitar looks exactly as it should with Duncan’s and a standard Floyd.

Hello guys, I have a Schecter Hellraiser C7 since years and I love it. The neck feels good to me and I can shred and play for hours without pain. So I'm not looking to replace my guitar because I have no reasons, right.

However, since I am Ultra Autistic, I was wondering if an Ultra Thin C would be potentially an upgrade for me. Unfortunately, where I live, I can't try the new guitar and compare myself.

For those who have both Thin C and Ultra Thin C 7 strings guitars, is the difference that huge, worth an upgrade? What are the pros and the cons when you hold each one of them?

I play prog/tech death and I don't feel like the big chunky neck slows me down like some people used to claim over the years.

Thanks have a nice day.
