Description

Schecter positioned the C-1 Platinum LH as a left-handed entry in the C-1 Platinum series, built for players who required a high-output, set-neck instrument with a focus on playability. Constructed in South Korea, it carried a mahogany body with an arched top contour and a three-piece maple neck joined via set-neck construction with Ultra Access. The Satin Black finish was complemented by silver/platinum multi-ply binding.

The 25.5-inch scale ebony fretboard carries 24 X-jumbo frets, a 14-inch radius, and Platinum 'Tempest' inlays. Neck thickness measures .787 inches at the first fret and .866 inches at the twelfth, reflecting the Thin 'C' profile. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut sits at 1.653 inches wide, feeding Schecter locking tuners. The two-way adjustable truss rod is accessed via a 5/32-inch Allen nut. Electronics are an EMG 57 bridge pickup and EMG 66 neck pickup, each active, drawing from a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment and routed through a volume/volume/tone/3-way switch layout. The TonePros T3BT tune-o-matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring and satin chrome hardware throughout — including metal knurled knobs with set screws — complete the specification. Schecter shipped the instrument strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046 strings.

Owners seeking compatible replacement parts — including Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nuts, TonePros T3BT bridge components, EMG active pickup accessories, or 9-volt battery clip hardware — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier for fitting and setup guidance.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
