Description
Schecter C-1 Platinum See Through Black Satin B-Stock Guitar
This unplayed B-stock C-1 Platinum delivers the ergonomic comfort of a thin "C" profile neck paired with a set-neck construction that grants easy access to upper frets. The See-Thru Black Satin finish with Quilted Maple top and silver/platinum multi-ply binding creates a distinctly elegant visual presence, while the double-cutaway design keeps weight balanced for extended playing sessions. This is an excellent buy on a beautiful instrument in excellent condition—note that the bridge is making contact with the guitar body as shown in the detailed photos.
Playability & Construction
The 3-piece Maple neck with thin "C" profile measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, offering a comfortable grip across a wide range of hand sizes. A 25.5" scale length with 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius Rosewood fretboard provides both reach and precision, while the Platinum Offset Dots inlays with Gothic Cross at the 12th fret deliver visual landmarks without compromising tone. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut with 1.653" width ensures solid string seating and tuning stability.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 85 neck pickup configuration delivers articulate high-end clarity and warm, compressed neck tones respectively, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment for consistent active performance. Hardware includes Grover tuners, a TonePros T3BP Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body design, and Satin Chrome hardware that pairs with metal knurled knobs for reliable, responsive control over Volume, Tone, and a 3-Way pickup selector.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is B-Stock, and will cosmetic imperfections affect the sound or playability?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and unplayed, but has minor cosmetic imperfections—such as small marks or finish blemishes—typical of inventory or display units. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on tone, playability, or structural integrity. You are getting the full Schecter C-1 Platinum specification and performance at a significant discount.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock, or will it work for other genres?
The C-1 Platinum is optimized for metal, hard rock, and progressive music, where its articulate high-end clarity and tight, defined tone shine. The high-output EMG active pickups and fast 24-fret access make it less ideal for folk, blues, or traditional jazz styles that benefit from warmer, more vintage-voiced instruments.
What neck profile does this have, and will it suit my hand size?
The C-1 Platinum features a thin C-profile neck measuring 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, designed to accommodate a wide range of hand sizes with comfort. The set-neck construction and Ultra Access cutaway also make upper-fret work fast and ergonomic for extended playing sessions.
What pickups and electronics are included, and how do they perform?
The guitar ships with an EMG 81 bridge pickup (articulate and punchy) and EMG 85 neck pickup (warm and compressed), both powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery for consistent active output. The configuration delivers high-output, tight tones ideal for modern metal and hard rock without loss of clarity or sustain.
How does the C-1 Platinum compare to the C-1 FR-S, Jackson Dinky Pro, and Ibanez RG Prestige?
The C-1 Platinum shares the same professional-grade Schecter build and EMG active electronics as the FR-S but with a traditional bridge instead of Floyd Rose, making it more stable for tuning and setup. It competes directly with the Jackson Dinky Pro and Ibanez RG Prestige in the intermediate-to-pro metal category, offering a mid-weight balance of playability, tone clarity, and visual refinement.
