What guitars came with these? New or used. I can only think of schecter c1 blackjacks?

Those Charvels that are somewhat Les Paul shaped.
 
Re: Guitars with factory blackout pickups

Any Schecter Blackkack guitar has them. Also the new Corey Beaulieu from Jackson, but it's kind of ugly in my opinion, even if Trivium is one of my favorite bands right now. Those Matt Heafy Les Pauls are sweet. Maybe for graduation...

I would like a sub $400 guitar with them used
 
Re: Guitars with factory blackout pickups

Seen a 300-series LTD lester w/ 2 aftermarket blackouts for 220 or so (+tax) used at a local GC recently, condition seemed solid everything looked to be in good shape, sounded pretty darn ballsy too... Seen a couple priced like that on CL too, but a STORE doing that kinda shocked me, guess blackouts got real common real fast! Just a short while ago the price of entry seemed kinda steep, and now it's dual-active used Korean/Vietnamese/Indonesian guitars for the price of the actives new, same as with EMGs...

I was gonna say those high end Mick Thomson Ibanezes but then I remembered they were those EMTY pups.

I don't really know man.

Probably not. There was a Schecter Hellraiser V on FleaBay with an EMG 89 in the neck and a Blackout in the bridge (believe the 81 is standard in the bridge there) for about $475.

At that price, you'll only find used or blowout. The minimum USA MSRP for guitars that use SD pickups as original equipment is $800. Street prices may be as much as 30% less ($560), but keep in mind that Blackouts are more expensive than JBs and SSL-1s, so the guitars they're found on will likely be significantly higher than the $800 minimum.
