HELP: Fender 57 or Schecter c1 fr ?

[Euphoria]

I'm looking to buy a new guitar and i've problems choosing 1. Firstly, i play pop, rock and classical. So i was wondering which guitar would be more versatile in terms of those areas ?

Hope someone can enlighten me abit and any reply would be appreciated.

Thanks.

easy, right?

if you like single coil sound, go fender. If prefer humbucker, go Schechter.

Another thing to consider, perhaps... do you like middle pickup? I prefer not to have any in the middle

the american 57? or the MIM classic 50's?
u gonna consider fretboard radius too , either u perfer the vintage 7.25 radius or the one which schecter has.
the number of frets , pickups , wood .

Best to try out both. Decide whether you prefer single coil tones of humbucker tones. I don know whether the schecter has coil split.

Schecters come with coil-tap functions. =)

Yup, my Schecter C-1 Classic is coil-tapped. And some other models too, not all.

TS, I think you are not comparing apple to apple. I guess Schecter C1 FR is a better choice; cheaper with more versatility. 24 frets, active H-H (not coil-tapped. I have some reservations on Duncan Designed pups though...) & FR. But definitely you cannot get that single coil sound on this one. And talking about active pups, be ready to always spare some 9v batts
