imapiratearg:
Agreed. Schecter are consistently pretty solid guitars. I nearly bought an S-1 Elite, once upon a time.

Gene, I'm pretty sure you could build a verrrrry similar guitar for under a grand. Or near a grand.

Links? I finally checked out GFS but they pretty much only have Strat and Tele parts. And I'm looking at Warmoth right now but it's pretty confusing.
How hard would this be?
valley_parade:
I'd go with dguitarparts.com for your body and other stuff. They sell jag/jazz/mustang bits.
Also, Musikraft if you want a neck with the Jazzmaster headstock.

edwinalink:
thanks noff and imapiratergh! i think i will!
now if the neck on the c-1 feels a bit fender-y, that would also be awesome. as all the fenders/strats i ever messed with always felt great in the neck!
and the epi/gibson necks felt a bit to fat. not gigantic and rectangular like my warlock. but im a beginner, so the easier the better!
and zerobar,
thanks for the advice, but im pretty sure there's a crack in it. and i just cant stand anything about it!
but... for the future, how does one "block" a trem? that would really open up my guitar choices!
zerobar:
All you do is find or make a piece of wood that'll fit tightly behind the block of the trem (the part the springs attach to) and the body of the guitar. That way, the trem can't move forward, and the tension of the strings prevents it from moving backward (if you have a floating trem). You essentially turn your trem equipped guitar into a hardtail.
I do this as an intermediate process when setting up floyds, so that when the guitar is in tune, the bridge is level. It helps to get the spring tension right.
