A little help on guitar buying decision!!

[ConspiracyBass]

So, I'm kinda in a bind here. I can't make up my mind on whether I want to buy a Fender Highway One HSS ($795 after tax and thats with a case) or a Schecter 006 Blackjack (which I imagine will be around $650 w/case). I really like the way the Fender played and sounds, plus the fact that its made here in the states. The last time I played a 006 was like 4 years ago, but I really liked it then and I can't imagine it being any different then the C-1 I played about a year ago.

So fellas, help me flip the coin. I can't make up my mind. Both have things I like. I really wish I could afford both! Haha.

If you are going to spend that much, get a C-1 Hellraiser.

EMGs aren't my thing, I prefer passive pickups. Plus I like look of the 006 more than the C-1 series.

What PU's come in the 006 Blackjack? They aren't those 'Duncan Designed' ones are they?

 

[Razorjack]

All Blackjack's come with a set of Seymour Duncan JB and 59 pickups.

Ah I'd go with the Blackjack then

Schecter.

If you must get a Strat-style, don't bother with a Fender.

In the end I didn't even get a guitar (haha). I went into Guitar Center (ugghh) and they had a used Yamaha TRB 5 in there. Snatched it up for $463 (they go for $800 new). So yeah, now I have 4 basses.
