Simple, stylish, and ripe for full-on sonic destruction, the Schecter Tempest Blackjack Electric Guitar is an unapologetic powerhouse of an instrument. For starters, its mahogany body and neck give off the characteristic warmth and fullness demanded by high-octane music genres. When combined with a pair of Lundgren M6 humbuckers, the Tempest Blackjack is ready to sing and scream, pumping out molten-hot gain with ease. Factor in a fast-playing Thin "C" neck, rock-solid locking tuners, and a high-performing Tone Pros bridge, and you've got a monstrous metal machine with enough face-melting heat to conjure up a sonic storm.





Lundgren humbuckers for uncompromising tone





Lundgren's M6 humbuckers are known far and wide among Sweetwater players for their uncompromising force and searing output, imbuing the Tempest Blackjack with the power necessary to unleash cab-pummeling distortion with impressive clarity. Thanks to its unique winding combined with a ceramic magnet, you get plenty of low end and harmonic texture without the muddiness and mush that can accompany overwhelming amounts of gain. Too good to be true? Take the Tempest Blackjack for a spin, chug to your heart's content, and experience firsthand the commanding authority of Lundgren M6 humbuckers.





Ultra-thin neck turbocharges your technique





Pick up the Tempest Blackjack, and you'll experience extreme playing comfort, thanks to Schecter's Thin "C" neck carve. This super-slim neck profile provides you with a major speed boost, making this axe an ideal choice for any aggressive playing style. And with the guitar's double-cut body design, you'll have no trouble reaching those high frets. Notwithstanding its slender profile, this neck gives you the dependable stability you demand, thanks to its robust set-neck construction. Top it with a fast-playing compound-radius ebony fingerboard (with killer line inlays), and you're in frettin' heaven.
