Sound & Tone
Mahogany body and neck give this seven-string a thick, weighty low end, while the ebony fretboard and Lundgren M7 humbuckers keep the attack tight and articulate rather than muddy. The 26.5" scale holds the low B firm and defined, and the TonePros bridge with string-thru body construction adds sustain, so palm-muted riffing stays percussive and lead lines ring out clearly. With independent volume controls, a push-pull tone and 3-way switching, it covers modern metal and progressive rock rhythm work as well as cleaner, more nuanced passages.
Schecter C-7 Blackjack Guitar Gloss Black
The C-7 Blackjack is built for players who demand speed, precision, and punishing tone. Its meticulously crafted neck and perfectly balanced mahogany body deliver a natural hand position that lets you execute lightning-fast passages or lock into heavy, syncopated grooves without fatigue. The smooth ebony fretboard pairs with aggressive, articulate Lundgren M7 pickups that cut through any mix with clarity and sustain across the full 7-string palette. This is a workhorse instrument that responds to both aggressive attack and subtle nuance, equally reliable in studio tracking or live performance on any stage.
Playability & Feel
The thin 'C' neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, engineered for fast, uninhibited access across 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets with a 12"-16" compound radius that conforms to your hand across the entire board. The 26.5" scale length and Ultra Access deep insert joint eliminate any reach limitations to the highest frets, while the gloss black finish maintains a smooth, responsive playing surface during marathon gig sets or extended studio sessions.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Lundgren M7 pickups (bridge and neck) deliver the articulate, sustained tones and clear definition needed to dominate the extended range, with independent volume controls, tone with push-pull switching, and a 3-way selector that gives you tonal flexibility on demand. The TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body design locks in sustain and tuning stability across all seven strings, keeping you locked in through every performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the C-7 Blackjack suitable for someone transitioning from 6-string to 7-string?
The thin 'C' neck profile and balanced 26.5" scale are designed for fast, comfortable playing, but the C-7 is rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. If you have solid 6-string technique, the extended range and similar playability should make the transition smooth.
What's included with the guitar, and what pickup and bridge hardware come stock?
The C-7 comes equipped with dual Lundgren M7 pickups (bridge and neck), a TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body design, Schecter locking tuners, and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut. All electronics and hardware are factory-installed and ready to play.
How does the C-7 Blackjack compare to the Ibanez RG7 and Jackson JS22-7?
The C-7 emphasizes articulate sustain and aggressive attack through its mahogany construction and Lundgren pickups, while offering a refined thin-'C' neck. The RG7 and JS22-7 excel in different tonal ranges and body styles; the Schecter's tonal profile is tuned for modern metal and progressive rock where cutting clarity and defined harmonic sustain are priorities.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The C-7 Blackjack is purpose-built for metal, progressive rock, hard rock, and drop-tuning applications. Its aggressive, articulate tone and extended range are optimized for these styles and are not designed for jazz, folk, or country playing.
Can I customize the electronics and switching options?
The C-7 ships with dual independent volume controls, a tone knob with push-pull switching, and a 3-way pickup selector, offering multiple tonal combinations out of the box. You can modify electronics later, but stock controls provide ample flexibility for metal and progressive applications.
