The result is 12dB to 14dB less noise, plus more lows, more highs, and more output. The fretboard is ebony, the grain of which is extremely tight, giving the fretboard a very smooth feel, especially combined with those huge frets. Primary Menu Skip to content. Both pickups are ideal for metal, but due to the warmer character they can be used for softer styles too. Simply put, Blackouts have more tone than other active pickups. How can you possibly be evil if you can only reach a high C? My only niggle is the placement of the controls. The neck pickup volume is closest to the strings, with the bridge volume in the middle and then the tone control. The Blackout pickups are an interesting spin on the expected active metal pickup sound. Spec check This bad boy features a solid mahogany body with a carved top and aged binding, and a 3-piece maple neck with 24 jumbo frets and a rather flat radius. Pickups The pickups are Seymour Duncan Blackout actives, with a volume control for each and, a global tone control. While some guitars lend themselves more to either rhythm or lead playing, the C-1 BlackJack AX seems to cover it all pretty easily. Our engineers figured out how to capture the tone that players want in an active design, but using balanced inputs. There, I said it. You know the kind of pick attack that sounds like an integral part of the note, rather than just a percussive bassy thud at its beginning? It takes a lot to drag me away from my beloved neon shred axes but this monster could well do it. Conclusion This is a very powerful, great sounding and playing guitar with killer features and construction. The problem is, an unbalanced differential preamp is not very effective at cancelling hum. In many ways the C-1 Blackjack ATX FR is almost too classy to be a metal axe, with its carved top and chunky neck profile that are more likely to remind blindfolded players of a Les Paul than a day-glo heavy metal meat-axe. {PARAGRAPH}{INSERTKEYS}Just as there are many different schools of metal — heavy metal, stoner metal, death metal, thrash, death-thrash, grindcore, gore-grind, industrial metal, black metal, TRUE black metal — there are also many different schools of metal guitar design. Radical shapes and extreme colours compete on the shelves against stripped back, simple but deadly designs. The review model has an original Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge.
