Phil Collen's PC1 is built around a Sustainer: the neck position holds a PC1 Sustainer Driver, with its own on/off switch, an intensity control and a fundamental, harmonic or blend switch. A DiMarzio Super 3 DP152 humbucker sits at the bridge and a DiMarzio HS-2 DP116 in the middle, on a five-way blade with a volume and a tone.
The body is caramelized mahogany in a satin polyurethane finish, and the bolt-on neck is quartersawn caramelized flame maple with graphite reinforcement and a hand-rubbed urethane back. The caramelized flame maple board has a 12" to 16" compound radius, 24 jumbo frets and no inlays. A Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo returns to pitch after heavy bar use, and the truss rod adjusts at a wheel.
Satin Gray and Matte Blue Frost both carry black hardware. The PC1 Satin Stain adds a quilt maple top, satin gold hardware and six transparent finishes.
