I was considering getting a Fastback.. I remember the Fastback was the reason I didn't buy a 72 Reissue . Then I didn't buy the Fastback cuz it was a Schecter .... LOL 3 years later I have 3 Schecters and will prolly buy the Pete Dee Signature .. LOL

The old Hellcat is awesome - http://www.schecterguitars.com/Vault/63 ... -2005.aspx
and the hellcat VI - http://www.schecterguitars.com/Products ... at-VI.aspx
and some other shapes - http://www.schecterguitars.com/Products ... rsair.aspx
I even like their crazier models but i don't think i would play them - http://www.schecterguitars.com/Products ... Finck.aspx
Ooh, missed this.
1) It's okay, but the knobs (too smooth) and pickguard (too big) are wrong
2) A little dull compared to the above, plus it's a baritone, which somewhat limits the appeal
3) Could be the angle, but it looks like a reverse offset, and the headstock is like a Dean or something, and it's white and gold on something other than a Gretsch.
4) I won't even comment on that one. It's really ugly and bulky, like their Cure guitars.

Yeah, I currently own a C1+, at least until my son is flush enough to buy it back.* It's getting a lot of love from people who say I'm getting a better sound out of that with the JTM60 than with the Gibson. Plus it's better made and 24 frets, which is not essential but handy once in a while. We replaced one of the pots with one with a pull switch for coil split on the bridge pickup.
