My lovely girlfriend painted my guitar for me, may have to marry this lady 😅

Hello Schecter community just dropping in to get thoughts on this beauty.

Maybe I should get a third...

I like picking up older used Schecters and modding them...I have posted about that before in this sub. I just picked up a C-1 XXX off Reverb from a seller with good ratings and it arrived yesterday.

It is a 2005 era model - and I happen to have another one from the same year that I modded a couple of years ago. I started noticing differences and oddities with the one that just arrived, so I thought I would run it by you all and see what you think.

First pic is the headstock from my previously purchased XXX. White lettering for the logo...this matches a 2006 model I have as well. The second pic is the one I just received. The "Diamond Series" is in a different font and the D is actually separated and on top of the rest of the word Diamond - almost as if it came loose as they were spraying the clear coat.

Third pic is the serial number and country of manufacture labeling from the previous one I had. It looks like many of the similar era Schecters I own. The next pic is the just arrived one...this is just odd. I am not sure I have ever seen an "S" at the beginning of a Schecter serial number and I have never seen it at the top of the headstock either. In addition, the "Made in Korea" is a sticker and it doesn't say "Crafted in South Korea" like most Schecters from that factory.

The next set is the most odd...the dancing girl inlays. Next pic is the first one I have had for a while and it matches a 2006 I own as well...smaller inlays in the center of the fretboard. The final pic is the new arrival - same frets. The girls are GIANT compared to the other. They fill the entire width of the fretboard!

I am thinking this is a fake, but wanted to see if anyone had seen things like this on other legit Schecters. I don't think the seller knew it was a fake, but he is going to have to accept the return or give me a refund. Let me know if you think I am right on this one....thanks.

I've had this guitar for about a week and half and I love it. The quality is amazing, and there's no bad tones that come out of it.

Holy shit this thing rips! Better than I ever expected

There appears to be a seam or crack all the way down the exact middle of the fretboard. The crack is even and does not extend in either direction. Is this normal or is it damaged?

I swapped those cursed FR saddles with guyker hardened steel ones. And while i am at it, dropped in a fat sustain block and some noise dampeners for springs. I also didn't like how stock tuners felt so swapped them with gotoh ones. After that i made some cosmetic changes like knobs, trem arm and strap pins. Tried to keep the chrome/black mixed look overall. Now it holds the tunings damn well no matter how hard i abuse the trem and flutters like a champ! All changes cost me less than a gotoh bridge, regionally. Meet the Nyx Sun Valley Super Shredder! Mistress of the night!

Batteries replaced. No matter where I touch with multiple amps it does not stop. Ideas?

Needed a setup but I'm loving it so far

Upgraded the pick ups in the og omen 7 black winters. I here by name thee the omen of black winter. All black hardware as well.

I found this at a local place and immediately tried it out. It's rare for a guitar to cause me to come up with new riffs on the spot, but this one did. What's this subreddit's experience with these? I personally think it felt fantastic.
