I had my doubts about Schecter and it's not a brand I was attracted to, but the minute I picked up the Hellraiser I was sold. A thing of beauty, with incredible features and surprising workmanship. I am looking forward to getting a 6 string version of it. If you enjoy yours even only half as much as I do mine, you'll still be delighted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Schecters is that they are better setup from the start than Gibsons are recently, but you tend to need to replace the input jack for some reason! Go figure. Here's me in my Halloween costume pretending to be a rock star while holding my Schecter. Christian would like it 'cause it's black! ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he don't get the lefty I mentioned he better hurry up and do something because the highest court of our land may soon make a rash decision to outlaw left handed guitars ?

Sheens Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 thought that highest court thingy was a classic distraction move orchestrated by the Lefty Guitar Lobby. of the 20 million lefty's sold just in US 2020 alone, some will end up here in Europe and in a few years a football coach here will shout ' When are we gonna do something?!'. sorry I no know religion.

craigb Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Did NOT notice the Sustainiac! Just a note... One of my customs, the "Gaudy Paul," had a Fernandes Sustainer (which is a licensed version of the Sustainiac). (I had to sell this one and it was bought by Space Cowboy here who, unfortunately, has passed away which means I have no idea what happened to the guitar!) Here's what it looked like originally: But it only kept the Sustainer for a short time because I was restricted to using one of Fernandes' pickups and for some other reasons I didn't like. So, out it went and here was the final result: I still want a Sustainiac, but the version I wanted to get (Model C) is their clip-on model which can obviously be used on multiple guitars! Unfortunately, it's been out-of-stock for a long time! The Model C Sustainiac In any event, it's a good thing you're getting a real Sustainiac!

Rain Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Alright, you guys showed yours, I'll show mine. I call her Domina Mortem. I knew the finish looked good (this is my first quilted finish guitar) but I was even more surprised when I woke up early a few weeks ago and decided to spend some time downstairs where there's daylight... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we can be assured Bo would have really treasured such a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
