Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in number of strings?
The Sun Valley Super Shredder is a standard 6-string guitar, while the C-7 Blackjack is a 7-string instrument designed for extended lower range and drop tunings.
How do the neck profiles and scale lengths compare?
Both feature thin 'C' profiles with identical neck thickness measurements (.787" at first fret, .866" at 12th fret). The Super Shredder uses a 25.5" scale for traditional feel, while the C-7 uses a longer 26.5" scale to support the extra string and provide tighter low-end tension.
Which pickup set suits aggressive metal better?
The C-7 Blackjack's Lundgren M7 pickups are specifically designed for 7-string extended range with high output and aggressive articulation. The Super Shredder's Schecter USA pickups offer versatility but are voiced more for general metal and hard rock rather than extreme heaviness.
Are both equally playable for fast technical work?
Both support shredding with X-Jumbo frets, compound radius fretboards, and thin necks. The Super Shredder emphasizes comfort and speed, while the C-7 balances speed with stability for heavier playing styles and the extra string.
