EMG 81 and 85 Pickups
At the heart of the C-1 Platinum’s massive sound are the active EMG 81 and 85 pickups. These high-output humbuckers deliver a crushing tone with crystal-clear clarity, perfect for heavy riffs and blistering leads. Whether you’re playing through a clean or distorted channel, these pickups ensure your guitar cuts through the mix with ease.
The EMG 81 is a favorite among heavy metal purists. Utilizing robust ceramic magnets and narrow-gap coils, it delivers an extremely intense tone with considerable sharpness in the high end and seamless sustain.
The EMG 85 for the neck position uses Alnico V magnets for a muscular growl and smooth lead tones, making it suitable for everything from blues to the most extreme metal. The slightly reserved output makes it the perfect match for the 81 bridge, giving you a thick and fat sound for extreme distortion chugging or clean chording.
Ultra Access Neck Heel
The Schecter C-1 Platinum’s Ultra Access neck heel provides effortless access to the upper frets, allowing you to reach the highest notes with ease. This sleek and comfortable design also contributes to the guitar’s overall balance and playability, making it a dream to handle on stage or in the studio.
The sleek and comfortable neck shape further enhances the C-1 Platinum’s playability, allowing you to play smooth riffs and fast shredding. Made from maple and reinforced with carbon fiber rods, this neck is built to withstand the most intense playing styles while maintaining stability and tonal integrity.
Superior Hardware for Unmatched Performance
In addition to the excellent pickups and neck design, the Schecter C-1 Platinum is equipped with top-of-the-line hardware for unmatched performance. The TonePros TOM bridge provides precise intonation and sustain, while the string-through body design enhances resonance and tonal clarity.
The GraphTech nut provides smooth string movement and minimizes tuning problems, while Grover Rotomatic tuners provide reliable, precise tuning control. Whether you’re performing live or recording in the studio, these premium components work together to deliver a flawless playing experience.
