After getting a rental car (finally) I decided to head out to the local guitar stores to see what they had. This first place I stumbled upon was called AJ's Guitar Shop and they had some NICE guitars. No knock offs, cheap brands, nothing but name, age, and character. They didn't have the Schecter C1-E/A that I was scouting for, but had alot of PRS's and Gibson and Fenders, Deans, things of that nature.

I then went to the Guitar Center down the road and found this little gem. It still wasn't the C1-E/A I really really wanted, but they let me play it and I had to have it. I especially like the humbucker coil splitting feature on the back 2 knobs. Pull them out and it makes them single coils.

I'll try and post some samples later but I am just having too much fun with it right now.

Oh and the amp...needed something...and I have a woody for fender amps anyhow. I don't know why....the clean tone with my Stratocaster is so awesome.

It is pretty red, even just in normal lighting. But it's the kind of red that you would want a viper to be

Nice, but I'd liked it better if it were a massive body without the resonance holes in.

Why did you buy a new guitar if you have to drive a rental car?

The car I ordered a few months ago isn't here yet and this place is too big for my bike and I needed to rent a car for the week to take care of alot of things. Going to the guitar store to check them out was one of those things and then *bang* couldn't hold back

After I started fucking up every song that I never mess up, it was a free for all. That sound in the background is the air conditioner that i can't seem to figure out how to turn off/down.

It's wired...when I play on my own or with freinds I am a fucking god but then when i make a video its like wtf. At the store the salesman made my play it there on a big ass line 6, and I know the ENTIRE store could hear me but it was as if I had forgotten how to play. I managed to squeeze out some songs though (Jack Johnson, Dire Straits, Nirvana) lol
