EMG Pickups Deliver Modern Sonic Clarity

The C-1 Platinum Blackout is equipped with the renowned EMG 81/85 pickup combination, offering exceptional tonal versatility. The EMG 81, known for its ceramic magnets and close-aperture coils, delivers tight, aggressive highs and crushing mids, ideal for high-gain riffing. Paired with the EMG 85 in the neck, featuring Alnico 5 magnets, players gain access to warm, smooth leads and pronounced low-end dynamics. Together, these active humbucker pickups provide the clarity and power needed for demanding studio sessions or live performances, cutting through even the densest mix with precision.

Fast Mahogany Neck for Premium Schecter Performance

The three-piece mahogany neck of the C-1 Platinum Blackout features a thin C profile, offering a fast and comfortable feel for intricate playing styles. Its ebony fingerboard is outfitted with 24 extra-jumbo frets, providing effortless bending and precise finger placement. The ultra-access cutaway ensures smooth navigation across the entire fretboard, making it ideal for solos and complex chord shapes. Engineered for durability and comfort, this design enhances the overall playing experience, allowing musicians to focus fully on their performance.

All-Black Design and Reliable Hardware for Performance Stability

With its striking satin black finish and polished black hardware, the C-1 Platinum Blackout offers a bold and cohesive aesthetic that stands out on stage. The TonePros tuners deliver accurate, stable tuning with a 20:1 gear ratio for fine adjustments, while the Graph Tech Tusq XL nut minimizes friction and enhances sustain. Factory-installed DR Black Beauty strings provide a smooth playing feel and extended lifespan thanks to their unique coated design. These durable components ensure consistent reliability, allowing players to perform confidently under any conditions.
