A "Platinum" Series Designed to Modernize the Classics
The Platinum series reflects Schecter's commitment to revitalizing classic electric guitar shapes by focusing on performance-oriented craftsmanship (glued Ultra Access neck, ebony fingerboard, 24 frets) and high-end electronics. The goal is clear: to offer a guitar with a timeless style but with playability and versatility capable of handling today's stages, from modern rock to metal.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This Schecter is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable, efficient instrument tailored for fast playing. With its active EMG pickups and comfort-oriented neck, it excels in metal, hard rock, alternative rock, and all styles requiring precision in both rhythm and solo playing, while remaining credible with more nuanced tones thanks to a well-controlled dynamic response.
The Tone
The mahogany body provides a dense sonic foundation, with present mids and natural sustain, ideal for standard tunings as well as heavier riffs. The ebony fingerboard adds a sharp attack and good definition, highly appreciated on fast passages and palm mutes. The EMG 57/66 duo combines power and articulation: the bridge pickup delivers a tight and punchy sound, while the neck pickup offers singing leads and warmer cleans than more typical active pickups. The fixed TonePros through-body string bridge enhances stability, resonance, and attack precision.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes factory-equipped with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (.010-.046) strings: you can stick to the same gauge to maintain the factory feel and balance. The gig bag/case is optional: SGR-1C (sold separately).
