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.

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: EMGs for acoustic sound
Bela Fleck uses either an 81 or 85 in his Deering Crossfire electric banjo.

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.

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum
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.

Well, the Schecter has a 3-way switch, doesn’t it?
Mission accomplished!

My other Schecter is a Blackjack. I put Dave Mustaines in there, but it isn't functional yet because I'm trying to figure out how to squeeze a 9-volt battery into that little control cavity.

I'm sitting here listening to "Sinister Minister", with Victor Wooten on bass. Wow! Sweet.

Re: NGD: Schecter C-1 Platinum
congrats on the new axe!! I had a C1 for awhile and thought it was an amazing guitar for the price. Plus it came with Duncans.
I rolled it as the neck was alil chunkier than my preference.
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.
Also, as another poster said, I hear lots of guys reversing the pups (81 neck/85 bridge) and enjoying them more
