Schecter locking tuners and the Hipshot Custom-8 keep your intonation tight and true.3-piece mahogany neck Made with 3 pieces of mahogany for extra stability, 3-piece necks can withstand the test of time. Where standard necks may show aging defects from temperature and moisture changes throughout the years, the 3-piece neck will stay nice and straight for a lifetime of playability.Ebony fingerboard Ebony has a snappy, crisp attack with the density of maple, but with more brittle grains, oilier pores, and a stronger fundamental tone than maple. It has a tremendous amount of percussive overtones in the pick attack, that mute out shortly thereafter to foster great, long, sustain.Seymour Duncan Blackouts 8-string AHB-1 pickups The Blackouts 8-string 9-volt active pickup, is like its predecessors: the 6-string and 7-string versions of the Blackouts, yet built to direct retrofit nearly all 8-string electric guitars.
