This is a 1999 model CB2000
5 string Schecter Celloblaster with an EMG 81 in the bridge. Strings are .74,.52,.36,.20,.11 tuned in 5ths (like a Cello with 1 extra string)
27 scale with 27 jumbo frets.
This guitar is a 7 string slayer. You only need 1 finger to play chords. When you bar all 5 strings it sounds killer. From subsonic skull crunching chunk of a bass guitar to around 10 notes above a 24 fret guitar. I am going to record with it tonight and post an mp3 of it. Nothing I have ever played with strings sounds like it. I was talking to a guitar buddy of mine on the phone and playing the 5 string while I was talking in the background. He chimed in... dude.. what the hell are you playing and what are those chords. It sounds killer!! With all 5 strings barred it sounds like 2 guitars layered and voiced an octave apart with the upper register a 3rd (or 5th?) up. Think of it like a Disturbed or Staind type studio layer of 2 guitar tracks but played on 1 guitar.
Very cool. Not very practical.. but very cool.
