When it comes to crafting heavy riffs and commanding tones, the Schecter Ernie C Signature C-1 is a guitar that stands in a league of its own. Designed in collaboration with Ernie C, the legendary guitarist from Body Count, this solid body electric guitar combines precision construction with undeniable metal prowess. Built with a mahogany body, it delivers robust sustain and a powerful sound that resonates with authority.

The dual active EMG pickups are the heart of the Ernie C C-1’s versatile sound. The bridge position EMG 81 is perfect for those scorching, high-gain leads, while the neck position EMG 89 provides a more nuanced, softer Alnico V tone. With the innovative push-pull functionality, the EMG 89 can offer genuine single-coil sounds, adding remarkable versatility to your playing.

Ernie C's demands for playability are met with a carbon-reinforced, three-piece maple neck featuring an "Ultra-thin C" profile, ensuring comfort and speed. The smooth ebony fretboard, adorned with 24 extra-jumbo frets and Gothic cross inlays, provides an impressive range of expressive possibilities. The neck-through construction with an Ultra Access heel enhances resonance and makes upper-fret access a breeze. Add to this a Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo, and you have a setup ready for dive-bombs and pitch-perfect bends without compromising tuning stability.

This guitar is not just a tribute to a metal icon but a tool for shredding across any stage with confidence and flair.
