There’s something quietly impressive about the early-2000s Schecter Diamond Series guitars, and this CSH-1 is a great example of why they’ve earned such a loyal following. It doesn’t try to be flashy for the sake of it — it’s just a well-built, thoughtfully designed semi-hollow that delivers a wide range of usable tones and plays effortlessly.
This one is finished in See-Thru Cherry, showing off the figured maple top with a deep, rich red that looks even better in person. The semi-hollow construction gives it a bit of air and openness acoustically, while still feeling solid and controlled when plugged in. Condition is excellent overall — very clean for its age, with only a few small, light surface scratches here and there. Nothing structural, nothing distracting.
Plugged in, it’s a versatile guitar. The Duncan Designed humbuckers have a full, articulate voice with plenty of clarity, and the coil-split functionality opens things up nicely when you want brighter, more single-coil-like tones. It’s equally comfortable handling warm, rounded cleans or pushed, mid-forward drive without getting muddy.
Playability is where this guitar really shines. The set neck feels smooth and broken-in, the fretwork is clean, and it has that effortless feel that makes you want to keep playing longer than you planned.
