Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
C-1 Platinum is a right-handed, 25.5-inch-scale electric guitar built around a mahogany body, figured maple arched top, and set-neck construction with Ultra Access. The active EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck pickups feed a straightforward volume, tone, and three-way-switch layout. A three-piece maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and 24 X-jumbo frets provide the playing surface, with access extending to the 24th fret. Its tune-o-matic bridge routes strings through the body.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio recording or stage work requiring the supplied EMG 81/85 active pickup pairing.
