Heck, not got to picking BKP's stage yet.
Dunno, it 'should' get some blusier pups, but then again, HAHA.
It's basically a Fender Flat-Head, and only player I know playing this reg. is Jim Root, and he is NOT bluesy lol.
Dunno, not got a MM yet or CS but maybe BD or RY.
Heck, I have annihilation with the 'Pigs and HEAVY with PK.
ALOT more thought needed on this un.

Its Mahogany Body, set neck, rosewood board,5 way switching, thu body strung.


Will correct myself already :)

Think (due to their amazing tone and STUNNING 'split' tone, in my JP6) I will probably go for Black Covered Painkillers (yeah I know, but it just seem's right! Maybe BD or Emeralds or summit for the LP).

Then I can call her the (remember it's a Telecastor design/shape);

PainCaster

or better still

TeleKiller  :twisted:

JM,
I have sooooooooo much METAL  :twisted: stuff, I like to play Blues and such too (appeases my mum as well :)), and I KNOW the Painkillers sound soooooooo beautiful when split. NOT recorded yet (am still in Houston right now and stuff is shipped on way home) but the mid position on the Pet with Painkillers (inside 1/2 of both pups) through the Rivera is almost religious. Therefore I am pretty damn sure (as the Blackjack is 5 way switching, not just 3) they will shine in that too, and I already know they kick some serious HEAVY ass (also downtune well). Thats my thought anyway. The clean sound from the PK's was a very unexpected bonus tbh, but it's my thinking right now.

BTW, did a JM whilst here LOL. Dunlop Craybaby From Hell, Boss TU2, Cables, Slide etc. :) Get it whilst I can/it's cheap :) Oh and some M-Audio powered Monitors.

Don't forget your HBE Dos Mos now!! + A CPR  8) What about a BBE Sonic Maximiser?

Have a go at the RY's for your new guitar man! They have a lovely tone but saying that MQ's are the blues dude! If you want that sound!

I actually dislike pedals JM, only have a HBE Power Screamer (apart from tuner). Don't need a BBE with the Rivera (not found to yet anywhoo).
Basically the PK (split) does great blues tones, ala Tele). Not ready yet so RY may be in with a chance ;)

The standard (not Blackjack) Schecter PT (which is still produced) has the 'fender' style headstock. But it also has fewer 'goodies' and a maple neck.

This has me gassing for a Fender Flat Head (but they are costly and am sure Feline could do better for the price :)).

yeah i was looking at that PT when i first heard yu were buying this guitar - i really like the look of that. Those flat heads seem severely overpriced to me. nice but in a stripped down standard kinda way

Indy,
in my experience the UK-USA price divide is less than was (although exchange rate is awesome for UK right now), but the Flat Head is $1,250 here and same in UK pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT good.

However, for the dollars, i.e. bout 630 quid is'nt quite so bad.

It's roughly the same for mesa amps and petrol then!

Nice guitar Nick!  :twisted:
