Schecter Guitar ResearchC-1 Platinum Electric Guitar - Satin Purple Burst
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schecter’s C-1 Platinum combines a mahogany body and figured maple top with active EMG 81 and 85 pickups. The bridge pickup supplies tight lows and cutting mids, while the neck pickup brings warmth and sustain. Volume, Tone, and three-way controls handle the main adjustments. Its 25.5-inch, three-piece maple Thin C set neck uses Ultra Access to reach all 24 X-Jumbo frets, making the guitar suited to recording work and stage use.
