      Type O Negative built their whole sound around the sustainer and being the first that I can remember going lower than c# , B standard, sustainer and the slower and lower is more heavy, but they abused the sustainers and it was and still is glorious.
      I’ve always thought the Evil Twin Schecters look cool and have some good specs but I’ve never had a chance to play one I prefer the Tele and LP shaped Evil Twins .

    I own a c1 sls elete in antique fade burst. Its essentially the same guitar just in a different finish and no glow in dark markers.
    Its absolutely fantastic, i would recommend it no question.
    The only small niggles for me are the violin carve of the body for me gets slightly uncomfortable after a while. It digs in to the forearm but thats a problem for me with all guitars with that shape carve.
    Secondly the locking nut is sharp to the touch on the very outside edge of the high e string. So if you were to play around the upper frets then have to jump down quickly to the first fret. It can be very sharp on the fretting hand. I realise the is an aftermarket part made by floyd rose so more of a gripe to them.
    Would i buy this guitar again..... Absolutely

      yeah little word of advice, when looking for a guitar go check the specs on the official brand website.
      A lot of dealers leave out important info in the specs section of the products. (Mostly those that are felt as unimportant)
      For example a lot of times Stainless Steel XJ frets are just listed as XJ frets on many retailers, so someone reading the characteristics would think that they're nickel frets.
      Many times they specify the neck material but not the number of pieces.
      So always go on the official website of the instrument you're looking to.

      I picked up a blood burst C-1 FRS SLS elite and had a minor cosmetic issue too. Part of the whammy bar had a quarter inch ding out of the coating on it, no biggy, but still. While I was shopping for it I found many had sub par flame tops in the blood burst finish. It took a long time to find one I liked so I let it slide. It plays like a champ. Think they might have had c19 complications in their manufacturing. My C-7 Apocalypse is mint, no flaws.
