It is a beautiful guitar

The Livewire Classics would sound really killer in there.

I agree. Problem is, I ordered the "White" ones. Many moons ago, for another project. These would look stupid in this axe.

Yes, that is going to be problematic. I don't suppose you can just switch covers?

Very cool guitar! I’ve been eyeing Schecterss lately myself, and NOT being a “metal guy“ I am very curious to hear from you how this guitar works for you.

Congratulations!

The Schecter brand has tremendous bang for you buck value. Good score.
At least with those pickups, should you decide to swap them out you’ll have zero issues selling them for some decent coin. They are stoopid popular.

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum

I’d def consider owning a schecter. As others have said, good bang for the buck!

Honestly, i may be weird, but i don’t think the white pickups would look bad in the black guitar, at all.

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum

I could always pop 'em in to just to hear how they sound. I think they take the same connector as the EMG's.

Can anyone confirm that?

Btw, it probably come as no surprise to anyone that these EMG's sound killer through the Palladium. The harmonics and sustain just ring out forever. But then again, I'm hearing the Palladium moreso than the pups.

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum

White on black would actually look pretty cool here

Blackouts use same connector... not 100% sure about livewires, but if they have connector pins, then itll work.

And EMG designs, which Duncan actives seem based on, came with diodes to prevent you shorting them out thru incorrect wiring, so I wouldn't worry

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum

Cool. I'll probably do this before the day is over.

Re: EMGs for acoustic sound

Bela Fleck uses either an 81 or 85 in his Deering Crossfire electric banjo.

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum

Really? That's cool. I'll have to look for a YT vid.

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum

Funny you should say that. I have a nice airbrush kit w/compressor, and was thinking about deep red.

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum

I'll bring into the forum one of the things we were just chatting about in PM's. I think that one of the reasons the EMG's sound good through the BBE Acoustimax, is that they have a similar sonic quality to a piezo pickup in an acoustic guitar. They translate the string vibration to an electrical signal. Wouldn't it be a kick in the psyche if this metal guitar was a good acoustic simulator?

Artie, I know you know this, but that's what all pickups do.

EMGs even do it the same way as regular passives, with magnets and a coil, just weaker, then they send the signal through an amplification/filtering circuit. Basically building a pickup booster into the pickup.

Artie, I know you know this, but that's what all pickups do.

I know.

What I meant was, humbuckers, by their windings and magnets, color the signal each in their own way. A piezo pickup tends to just be sterile. The EMG's have a bit of that character too. Thus, they make surprisingly good "acoustic" transducers.

I bet my Alvarez sounds killer through the Palladium.
