any guitars come with ahb blackouts?

[shaggyrun]

I was wondering if there are any guitar manufacturers that are startign to offer the AHB blackouts in the guitars? I am hoping to get a Schecter Hellraiser by this Christmas. Anyone think that these maybe available with the AHBs by then instead of the 81/85 emgs?

The Alexi Laiho LTD-600, and standard ESP model comes with blackouts.
Schecter are putting Blackouts in their guitars too. I can't tell you exactly which ones, since they are putting them in multiple models, just check out their website for exact models with blackouts.

Schecter is putting blackouts in Damiens and Blackjacks I believe

thanks, I have played the hellraiser with the 81/85 emgs adn it sounded great, but i have heard that the blackouts have less humming, and sound more like the sh-6 on steriods. is this true?

Schecter also put them in the new series they released, the ATX. 6 and 7 stringers.

For 2008 Schecter will be changing from the 81/85 to the 81 TW/89 set for the Hellraisers (which is the same thing plus splitting) and the Blackouts will be going in the, what a surprise, Blackjack ATX series which IMO are just as kickass guitars as the Hellraisers plus they get to look cooler IMO with their Ebony fretboards instead of Rosewood...

Can't get much better than that (Oh yes, I'm GASing pretty hard for one of those...)
