Schecter Blackjack A8-8 String Electric Guitar

Full Description

Seymour Duncan Pickups

The Blackjack A8 is heavily equipped with high quality Seymour Duncan (SD) pickups, that offer a variety of great tones. Located in the bridge, an SD Nazgul pickup provides heavy saturation and a fast response for an aggressive and articulate attack such as heavy metal. Combined with this tone is the SD Sentient pickup, located on the bridge which offers a warm, modern classic tone with tight articulation. Overall, you can achieve a versatile sound, along with the additional strings and add more depth to your performances.

String-Thru Body

The Blackjack A8 incorporates a Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru body to provide improved tonality and sustain by transferring vibrations and resonance from the string to the body as it goes over the tailpiece and passes through the body. It also provides reliable tuning, ensuring your guitar stays in tune for longer.

Stylish Looks

Crafted with a solid mahogany body, the A8 offers naturally rich, warm tones, with a balance of grind and bite to create tights lows and appealing highs. The wood offers the guitar excellent amounts of depth and helps provide an incredible sustain. The mahogany body features an Avenger body shape, which include its smooth curves and pointed upper bout, making it both comfortable and stylish. Finished in a sultry glossy black finish, along with all black hardware, the A8 offers a visually stunning look that is both stylish and unique, and will stand out from any crowd.
