Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum

Yeah, the set-neck aspect was one of the things that influenced this purchase. The one with the Duncan HB-105's was a bolt-on. I'm not even sure how meaningful that is to anything. I just wanted it.

Both have 25.5 inch scales correct?

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum

Yeah, I think so. My C-1 definitely is. The other one was virtually identical except for bolt-on neck and a Floyd. And the color and pups too. I guess that's like saying it was exactly the same except that everything was different.

Edit: I can't find the exact guitar on Schecters website, but it was basically this, with a Floyd: (The pic is a Demon-6.)



And, someone bought it. I went back to see it, and it was gone.

As far as the EMGs, was going to suggest an 18 volt mod, but you mentioned your other one having a small cavity.
It isnt a radical change, but seems to fill em out alil bit.

I had tried that, the 18v mod made them weak, not driving the amp hard enough, so distorted they sounded bland. I reverted the mod soon after.

Keep in mind that EMG's are VERY height sensitive. I had to muck about with my SA's for a LONG time before they came alive.

Cool. Thanks for that tip. Let me play them with a bit before I write them off.

Putting the 85 in the bridge will give you a thicker more organic tone. You'll also be going from a ceramic bridge pickup to and alnico V which also helps add some warmth.

I currently have a silver Platinum series Solo II that I have on order. It comes with a EMG 57/66 set.

I think the white would look cool in it.
