Schecter Releases Blackjack Collection

Schecter Releases Blackjack Collection


Schecter

Posted 2004-04-14


Schecter Guitar Research released its new “BlackJack Collection” at Winter NAMM 2004. The six guitars in this collection are designed to yet again ‘raise the bar’ of quality, features, and affordability set by the introduction of Schecter’s Diamond Series in 1998.

All “BlackJack” models will be armed with the extremely versatile Seymour Duncan JB (SH-4) and ’59 (SH-1n) pickup combination, which can be ‘tapped’ via a push/pull tone control or a 5-way Mega Switch. Additional features (usually found only on instruments costing twice as much) include a rock maple neck set into an arched mahogany body, Grover tuning machines, and a TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge, which greatly enhances the instrument’s natural sustain, and ensures rock-solid intonation and sonic clarity. The appearance of these stunning Gloss Black beauties is further enhanced by Black Chrome hardware, black pearl position markers, and Schecter’s new, sleek, ‘ultra-access’ neck joint, which provides extreme ease of access to the upper frets.

Many of Schecter’s most popular body styles are available in this collection, including the C-1, 006, S-1, and PT. And, as Schecter guitars are a favorite among many of today’s drop-tuned guitarists, the C-1 EX (tuned B-E-A-D-F#-B) and redesigned C-7 (7-string) can fill the bill. Both instruments feature a 26 ½” extended-scale neck, along with all of the features of the standard-tuned C-1, making them lethal stage and studio instruments for today’s modern hard rock bands.

As with all Schecter Diamond Series guitars and basses, the new “BlackJack Collection” will be backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, and all models will feature this industry’s best set-up. Most “BlackJack” models are available now for immediate delivery, and can be seen at Winter NAMM 2004, Booth #4290.

MSRP for all “BlackJack” models is $799.00 (C-7 is $849.00)

Left-handed versions of all BlackJack models will also be available (add $50.00 to retail price)
