What does "Diamond '78 Humbucker" mean?

They're Schecter's take on a vintage-style PAF/'70s-inspired humbucker, but with enough output and clarity for heavier music. The guitar can cover clean tones, blues/rock, hard rock and fairly high-gain sounds. The coil-split lets you get a more single-coil-like sound from the humbuckers.

So despite the aggressive Schecter appearance, it's not exclusively a metal guitar.

The important part: how it differs from a typical C-1

This particular C-1 is interesting because you get:

Mahogany + ebony top → warm body response with a bit of added attack
Diamond '78 pickups → vintage-leaning, articulate humbucker sound
Thin C neck + 24 X-Jumbo frets → very shred-friendly
Wilkinson tremolo → vibrato/dive-bomb capability without going to a Floyd Rose
Coil split → more tonal variety
