Schecter C-1 Platinum Satin Green Burst

A Series Designed to Modernize Schecter's Classics

With the Platinum series, Schecter breathes new life into its iconic classics: the same performance-oriented DNA, but with a decidedly modern approach (playing comfort, upper fret access, and active electronics). Offered in several of the brand's signature shapes, this series aims for true versatility, equally effective in heavy rhythm playing and cutting leads.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

This electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable, precise instrument that is ready to perform immediately in band or studio settings. Its natural playground covers rock, hard rock, metal, and prog, while remaining comfortable in more nuanced contexts thanks to its comprehensive controls (2 volumes, 1 tone) and 3-way selector switch.

Sound Characteristics

The mahogany (body) and maple (glued neck) duo provides an effective balance: present low-mids, solid foundation, and dynamic response, complemented by an ebony fingerboard that enhances attack clarity and note precision. The active EMG 57/66 humbuckers are designed to offer a more "organic" tone than some traditional actives, while retaining their strengths: solid output level, excellent definition in low tunings, and tight palm mutes. The simple and efficient wiring (3-way selector, 2 volumes, 1 tone) allows quick switching from a rounder neck sound to a sharper bridge tone.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, you can opt for a string gauge of .010-.046 (such as Ernie Ball Regular Slinky). Since the electronics are active, also plan to have a spare 9V battery on hand. Finally, the guitar can be protected with the manufacturer-recommended compatible gig bag: SGR-1C (sold separately).
