Modern metal guitarists will find much to love in the Avenger Blackjack from Schecter. Like all Schecter guitars, the Blackjack features the same streamlined design and killer appointments that you'd expect from a tone-heavy workhorse. The Avenger Blackjack has a resonant mahogany offset body with a stunning black gloss finish complemented by a cream binding. A 3-piece mahogany set neck with ebony fingerboard offers incredibly smooth response for shredding fast leads and chunking heavy power chords. A pair of Lundgren M6 humbuckers deliver classic, gritty humbucking tone, but you can dial them into your specs given a variety of tone-shaping controls. And a TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-through body supports amazing sustain ? one of the reasons why it's a favorite bridge among the many modern metal players here at Sweetwater.





Turn heads with crisp, punchy tone





Lundgren M6 humbuckers have been turning a lot of heads and bending a lot of ears in the world of metal. The M6 is a dialed-in humbucker that keeps your tone clear and articulate even when driven at high gain. The M6 has a heavy midrange focus without getting bitey or harsh ? ideal for modern metal tone. They also delver plenty of low end without becoming sloggy or washed out. With a master Volume and push-pull Tone control, along with a 3-way toggle switch, the Avenger Blackjack has all kinds of tone-shaping options right at your fingertips.





Shred-friendly neck





The stunning mahogany neck on the Blackjack has been cut to a player-friendly Thin "C" profile. Twenty-four jumbo stainless steel frets are easy on the fingers, making lead playing super comfortable and hard-hitting power chords effortless. The 25.5-inch scale length and compound radius neck are a killer combo for rapid-fire leads as well.
