NGD: Beat up Schecter 006 Blackjack

@Techdeth and I had a lesson earlier and I don't practice my sweep arpeggios enough, so he gave me some simple jazz chords to comp as well as the suggestion of connecting the chords with some licks from the scale. So without further adieu, here's the exact opposite of what most would use this guitar for:

Ha, my name is Phil and I usually go by phillyb. But at one point, I belonged to a forum, much like RT (pay it forward camaraderie and a no-bullshit attitude, beef with other forums, etc.) that was my playground. A friend of mine hosted a lot of in-person meets (car forum/install days). Someone who knew of my assholerey made stickers that said phillyb hates me! and brought em to the meet and handed 'em out. I loved the idea and just ran with it. It's my "brand." I've been making stickers for like 15 years and giving them away since then.

I'll be posting a video in the next post with some clean ever-so-slightly driven neck tones which I know is everybody's favorite stuff around here.



I can never keep Schecter's lineup straight. Omen, Diamond, Damien, SLS, Elite, SLS Elite, Blackjack, Hellraiser. What does Hybrid mean in the Schecter lexicon?
I had one of the much-more-recent Blackjacks but got rid of it because I wasn't in love with jamming my left index finger into the huge ass locking nut that accompanied the Floyd Rose. It was a KILLER guitar though and I kinda regret getting rid of it. Even though I scooped the Blackjack in the OP, I keep the C-1s on my radar as well.

The reason I went on the hunt for one of these was actually because I played a Chapman Ghost Fret with the same pickup configuration recently. It put me onto the JB/59 combo as well as the Explorer shape which I found surprisingly comfortable. Apparently not all of the Ghost Frets came with the same SD combo either.

So like, I see the body style sure, but I also see dual humbuckers and controls that arent laid out flat. I suppose the bridge is tele-esque but I bet it plays and palm mutes better than 3 brass saddles. I don’t love finishes like that but I have a hard time calling that a tele. But that’s just me being a weirdo lol.

It was a solid chunk of figured maple with a flamed maple neck to match. It was snappy as shit, and perfect for chicken pickin', but I play doom. It was all spank and no meat. Didn't work.

Yeah good call. I forget about wood construction lol. I totally see what you're saying.
I have this SSS 25.5" scale guitar over here with a 5 way switch that one would swear was a strat, but I swear it's not lol. I'm probably wrong though.

I forgot to ask you but is that a patchwork quilt of album covers on the couch? If so, that is frickin cool and you need to post a full pic of it.


Here is my C1+

That quick video made me realize I should flip it around the other way so it's a bit more recognizable. It's a collage of Stephen King book covers, so no, not patchwork, but I like it.

That top on your C-1 is great. Love the amp in the fireplace. How foolish of me to put an electric fireplace in my fireplace.
