The C-1 Lady Luck delivers on the dependable but affordable C-1 promise--you'll get a set-neck design for plenty of tone and sustain, and Schecter's "Ultra Access" cutaway for hitting those high frets. The Lady Luck model delivers the warmth with a mahogany body and 3-piece mahogany neck, and delivers the flash with its brilliant red finish. The rosewood fretboard with 24 jumbo frets plays like a charm, and features only one inlay, Lady Luck herself, ready to flag the winner (that'd be you) at the 12th fret. To complete the look, the headstock features a pair of dice and the Lady Luck logo on the truss rod cover. Schecter Alnico Plus Pickups
Lady Luck sports two Schecter Alnico Plus humbuckers, for high-output, classic rock tone. These are very versatile pickups, especially with the added push/pull coil tap. Volume is provided for each pickup, along with a 3-way toggle switch and tone knob. Graph Tech "Tusq" Nut
The precision Tusq nut is made with Graph Tech's "man made ivory," which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of your guitar. Play as hard as you want, bend a few steps, and your strings glide back into tune. The highly resonant material also means you'll get more richness and harmonics from every note. Dependable Hardware
The TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design means even more sustain and harmonics, and combined with Schecter's tuning machines gives you stable tuning and more control over your sound. An added bonus? Killer good looks with the distressed chrome finish. What's in the Box

I decided to get this guitar based upon the quality/feel of a current schecter I have, the Damien FR, as well as its unique look. I remember it was running close to 5 and change when it came out, now the price ranges from 4 to 5 I have seen. I currently have a epi LP, an american standard strat, an epi dot, a damien FR, a dean vendetta, and an older Ibanez RG. I have been playing 20 years or so off and on, but a lot in the last 3 years. I have seen lots of guitars, and I have a fairly good basis for comparison in this price range. I have never seen one quite as unique as this. The finish is a satin red, but it is a metallic like finish that is just gorgeous. With that and the distressed chrome it is just sick. The neck feels a bit thinner than what I am used to from schecter, and feels quite fast. That finish behind the neck gives it a great feel. The pickups on a guitar of this type really are unusual to me, schecter alnicos on what appears to be a shred machine more fitting to have emgs on it. A coil tap just even makes it that more unique and versitile. The tuners I have found to hold well. With a lot of blues playing/bending I have thrown a string or two out of tune however. The sound is pretty good for stock pickups. It is built very rugged and appears durable. The thing that strikes me the most is how it feels. The neck is great and feels light and balanced. For the price it is a great instrument.
I have heard some people say that the guitar is too tacky or whatnot. Hogwash. Just as I can appreciate the clean simple design of a strat, shred machines are supposed to be over the top to me. The racing girl at the 12th with no other inlays is just gorgeous. The dice on the headstock, the lady luck etching on the truss cover, I eat this stuff up. Even so I think the whole theme of the guitar is understated with the satin metallic. It doesn't strike me as gaudy or tacky at all. Again that chrome is like nothing I have ever seen before.
Although there is no other inlays other than the one at the 12th, there is of course the dots on the edge of the fretboard. Which is usually sufficient for reference when playing.
The set neck and the string through body make for superior sustain. Action is fairly low from the factory, but again any guitar for the most part can be setup to play with low action. It is the feel of this guitar that is key.
Overall this guitar strikes me as a (loose) cross between an LP and an 80s shred guitar. This guitar is similar to the damien FR in that it is built for shred, but whereas the damien feels cold, fast and metal sounding, this one feels a little warmer and not as cold/harsh, sort of like my strat. The difference in pickups have a lot to do with that, but it just feels that way also when you play it.
I wouldn't plan on doing any modifications, because all of the hardware is distressed chrome. The look would be compromised and anything else put on there might look out of place. Although not the best pickups out there, they sound very good, I really don't see the need to modify anything.
I don't know if they have discontinued this guitar, but it is not being sold by too many places anymore. I don't get this urge with too many guitars, but I just had to have it. Cool guitar.
