Differences between Hellraiser and Blackjack C-7s?

WarriorOfMetal · 01-01-2007, 02:35 AM

looks like i may be getting a C7 Blackjack, but as far as recent Schecter 7-string models go, i've only ever played the Hellraiser, so i'm curious about the differences.

They're almost identical except the neck is set further in on the Blackjack and of course the obvious pickup and cosmetic differences.

-no binding
-dot inlays
-Straight black finishes

There's probably a few more i'm forgetting but those are the major ones.

The Blackjack has body, neck, and headstock binding. The HR only has body and headstock binding.

The neck joins the body at different spot, giving the HR slightly(like 1-2 fret) better access.
