Even though I don't have a case to fit the guitar, yet, I took it to church this morning wrapped up in a fluffy blanket on my back seat.  Church is within walking distance in a private development, so not much worries about traffic.

Plugged it into my Mesa rig and it was just great.  One of our other guitar/bass players who had the week off said that out in the congregation, it definitely had more "bark", cut through the mix better, and was even more pleasing on the high end than my C-1 Classic. Together with my amp and pedal settings, I had a great vintage Marshall roar going on that was overdriven but very articulate.  I know, from a Mesa!   I attribute most of this difference to the Duncan Custom Custom (SH-11) in the bridge.  The C-1 Classic has a Duncan Distortion bridge pickup which I put in that sounds good in its own right, but now I'm thinking of swapping that out for the Custom Custom too.  It's a great pickup for bright sounding guitars, which the Classic can be.  SH-11 is Alnico-II and overwound to be hotter, just slightly less than a JB.

So I'm really loving this guitar in a way that I didn't think was possible for me to love an LP style axe.  Case should arrive sometime this week.  Had to order the Schecter Solo-6 case because normal LP style cases apparently don't fit it.  And neither do any of my other generic hard cases.
