A Great Deal on a Sweet 8-string Guitar!

Grab a Schecter Blackjack ATX C-8 solidbody 8-string electric guitar and prepare to rock! A fantastic guitar for a great price, the Blackjack ATX C-8 packs high-end features into a remarkably affordable instrument. For instance, you just don't see many guitars at this price with a real ebony fretboard. Together with its slimmer mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck, the Blackjack ATX C-8 delivers hard-hitting lows and soaring top end. And thanks to its pair of hard-hitting Seymour Duncan Blackout active humbucking pickups, you can expect a ton of fat, chunky, riff-ready tone from your Schecter Blackjack ATX C-8!

Schecter Blackjack ATX C-8 Solidbody 8-string Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Three-piece neck for incredible sustain and durability
  • Active Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver the massive tone you demand
  • Hipshot Custom-8 bridge with string-through-body design for amazing stability

Three-piece neck for incredible sustain and durability
You can have a lifetime of awesome performances with the Blackjack ATX C-8, thanks in no small part to its three-piece mahogany neck, set-in to the body. Multi-piece necks are more rigid than one-piece necks, reducing the chance of twisting or warping over the years. And the extra stiffness, plus the set-in design, gives you monster sustain. And since it's got the Ultra Access heel-carve, reaching the highest frets is effortless.

Active Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver the massive tone you demand
From classic rock snarl to silky-smooth leads, a pair of Seymour Duncan Blackout active humbuckers make getting the tone you want out of your Blackjack ATX C-8 easy. These pickups give you wide tonal range, excellent headroom, and exceptional low-noise performance. Together, the range of tone these humbuckers give your Blackjack ATX C-8 is enough to put a smile on any rocker's face.

Hipshot Custom-8 bridge with string-through-body design for amazing stability
If you love the stability and ultra-fast response of a hard-tail bridge, then you'll feel right at home with a Blackjack ATX C-8. To give the Blackjack ATX C-8 the performance you demand, Schecter didn't just grab any old bridge, they gave the Blackjack ATX C-8 a Hipshot Custom-8. The Hipshot Custom-8 has smaller F#- and B-string saddles, plus offset string-through location on F#-, B-, and E-strings for optimum intonation.

Schecter Blackjack ATX C-8 Solidbody 8-string Electric Guitar Features:
  • Full-featured 8-string solidbody electric guitar made for modern playing styles

  • Mahogany body and responsive mahogany neck for rich, wide-ranging tone
