Schecter Avenger Blackjack Electric Guitar – Gloss Black
The Avenger Blackjack delivers excellent tracking and response for studio recording with its thin 'C' neck profile and 12"-16" compound radius fretboard that accommodates both open-position voicings and aggressive bends up the neck. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access provides excellent upper-fret access, while the mahogany body with arched top and cream multi-ply binding create a visually striking instrument finished in gloss black with black chrome hardware. Built in South Korea with professional-grade components, this guitar is engineered for producers and engineers seeking aggressive tonal character and consistent session performance.
Recording & Construction
The neck features a three-piece mahogany core with carbon fiber reinforcement rods for stability and precise intonation, paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and an ebony fretboard. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) combined with Schecter locking tuners ensures reliable tuning stability across takes and session work, while the 25.5" scale length provides enough string tension for heavy distortion and drop tunings without sacrificing responsiveness at the first fret (0.787").
Tone & Electronics
Twin Lundgren M6 pickups deliver articulate, high-output tones that cut through dense mixes and sit well in both clean and heavily distorted production contexts. The control scheme—volume, push-pull tone control, and three-way selector—offers quick tonal adjustment during tracking and overdubs, while the TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru-body configuration maximizes sustain and harmonic definition for layered guitar arrangements.
