The pickup combo in question is truly KILLER for metal. Hard to beat in terms of overall aggressive tone..
But $800 for a schecter seems a bit high? Are you a fan of their guitars in general? Some folks love the way they play, some folks don't. The necks taking some getting used to imho. I'd say play something similar or drive to where ever you can find that carries one before you put that kind of money down. Also, you could get that pickup combo and throw it in just about any guitar and get really heavy tone. You could find a used schecter for quite a bit cheaper. If you are really heading for the shecter i'd say look VERY close at the KEITH MERROW SIGNATURE guitar. IT's got a great neck and the pickups are the BLACK WINTER set which are killer! It's got a thin neck for a shecter, 19mm at the nut which is on the thicker side of some ibanez necks. http://www.schecterguitars.com/guitars/art...km-6-942-detail Todd looking at a new guitar, i had a prs torero i used for drop c, i sold it cause i couldnt get into active pickups, so now i got some extra cash the schecter blackjack 6 string with passive seymour duncan nazgul and sentintient has got my eye, great looking guitar and the high ouput passive pickups seems to but just what im looking for for a metal guitar. heres the one im loking at

I've played the older black jacks and they felt good to me. I'm used to big necks. I have a les Paul traditional with a 50s neck and it's quite big. Maybe I just got used to it. Have you ever played a ibanez prestige rga 321f? |
