Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for players who want an all-black, satin-finished electric guitar with fast access across 24 extra-jumbo frets, the C-1 Platinum Blackout brings together a mahogany body, three-piece mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and Ultra Access cutaway. Its active EMG 81/85 pickup pairing combines the EMG 81's clarity with the EMG 85's warm, round voice. TonePros 20:1 tuners and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut complete the hardware setup.
Strong match
