EMG 81 and 85 pickups
At the heart of the C-1 Platinum's massive sound are its active EMG 81 and 85 pickups. These high-output humbuckers deliver a crushing tone with crystal clear clarity, perfect for heavy riffs and scorching leads. Whether you're playing through a clean or distorted channel, these pickups ensure your guitar cuts through the mix with ease.
The EMG 81 is a faovurite amongst heavy metal purists. Employing robust ceramic magnets and narrow aperture coils, it voices a meticulously intense tone with significant high-end sharpness, and a seamless sustain.
