This higher tension will allow for a couple of things. Since the distance between bridge and nut is relatively long, you'll need to give the strings more tension to get them in tune. It's considered a long scale when compared to most non-baritone guitars. This is the same scale length used in Stratocaster guitars, and it's one of the main reasons they have such a bright sound. Here's the Schecter C-1 Blackjack's 25.5' scale length compared to other common sizes: Schecter C-1 Blackjack's scale length (at the top) compared to other popular sizes A longer scale length means longer distance between frets, brighter tone and more string tension-which means lower action, but more difficult bending of the strings. It can tell you a lot about the overall playability and tone of the instrument. Scale length is the distance the strings will span between the bridge and the nut. This was recorded from some online retailers that publish the weight of the instruments they sell. We found that the Schecter C-1 Blackjack weighs between 6.9lbs (3.1kgs) and 7.35lbs (3.3kgs).
