USED Schecter Platinum Series C-1

An EMG 81 and 85 walk into a mahogany body. You already know how this ends.

The C-1 Platinum is built around one of the most field-tested pickup combinations in heavy music — not because Schecter got lucky, but because they understood exactly who was buying this guitar and what they needed it to do. That figured maple top bleeding through the see-thru black satin finish isn't there by accident either. This thing has presence on a stage and presence on a stand, and it doesn't need you to squint at it.

Set neck, Thin C maple profile, 24 jumbo frets on a rosewood board. It moves fast, stays in tune, and doesn't complain. If the 81 and 85 are already in your vocabulary, you know what you're getting — and this one delivers. If they're not, consider this your introduction to why half the heavy records of the last thirty years sound the way they do.

If you've been on the fence about active p'ups, this is a comfortable place to find out you were wrong about them.

This is a USED guitar in EXCELLENT condition. Soft case included.
