Schecter Hellraiser - C1 FR White Thoughts/Review!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- EDIT May 5, 2020: Regarding my opinion at 5:30 - I have since changed my view on this. I understand the necessity for cutting mids and tuning guitars lower to obtain a tone/key that the composer desires. It's all preference and creativity doesn't stop anywhere.
I got a new guitar!!!
...obviously.
A couple of things to note:
A) I didn't do a script or anything for this. So I'm sorry if things seem scattered or strangely worded. I just kind of turned the camera on and rambled :)
B) I didn't include any drums or anything during the playing portion because I wanted you to hear the full guitar without anything clouding it.
C) Also, the playing was just on a whim. No idea what songs I was going to play, I just kind of hit Record and played whatever came to mind! (Pretty obvious, there are quite a few mistakes in the songs I play. But that's ok!)
D) I'm playing through my Line6 UX2 using PODFarm. So it won't sound quite idealistic to the ear. But I think, for the most part, you can hear what it sounds like and get a grasp on what it can do. (Especially where the single coil takes over).
All in all, I love this guitar and just wanted to share my thoughts on it :) It's not a paid advertisement or anything, just wanted to try a different type of video!

"Looked pretty and I wanted it goddammit" backstory of my guitars🤣👌
Me , three, buddy,
Me three!
Oh damn I was literally looking for a review of both the C1 FR and the Digitech Drop, didn't expect to strike gold! Thanks, man!
I have the dark cherry C7. I think I need one in every color. I think I just need to own every Schecter out there though. I used to play Ibanez, Fender, Gibson, and Esp. I haven't really since I picked up my Schecter S-1 from some random pawn shop on the road for 100 bucks. These guitars just feel right to me.
Don't know how to describe but it has a sad dark tone. Just sounds dark
Don't be scared of changing your own strings. Learn your instrument in and out! Its not that complicated.
Yeah I can not agree more. It's just so fun to learn the things about the guitars.
I don't even trust anyone else to treat my guitars with more care and knowledge than myself. TH-cam and Google makes it possible to get accurate detailed info
I can't imagine paying a 'tech' (a guy who plays guitar, aka me) to change string gauges because I don't want to turn a screwdriver. All it is is more string tension, so must increase spring tension - drive in the claw in a little bit with every new string that's a bigger gauge. Just never use a FR Special. FR 1000/1500/Original or gtfo. And tune when it's in an upright position. If you tune on its back, it'll go flat when you sit it upright to play.
yeah it's really not hard at all to change your bridge tension, I learned how to do it myself on my Stratocaster when I was first starting out, just a few turns with a screwdriver and boom
This is the best look mid priced guitar deal you can get for rock for the most part. This guitar is so perfect for what it is
I just picked one up at a pawn shop today, the black cherry one. An '08, looked brand new, $460. I thought it was too much of an opportunity to pass up, even having zero knowledge of the Schecter brand. Been trying to gain some insight by looking up vids. Thank you for such a detailed video.
"I refuse to not have a floyd" "I refuse to change strings" this guy must be fun at parties haha
I RUN parties.
Ruin** just busting your balls a little. Just ordered this white hellraiser I have the black one of this same model. Now I hopefully won't be a racist...
Robert Knight what 😂
At least you actually showed the side profile of the neck. That's what I was looking for.
Luv having the EMGs instead of seymour duncans! Wish i had the floyd rose! Shecter guitars! Quality! When you first play one your gonna be hooked! Luv this guitar! Beautiful!
A lot of avenged sevenfold. I picked the right video
I just picked up a used black cherry c-1 fr. Got it for 430 bucks and not even a scratch on it. This guitar is not only beautiful but plays well and sounds great
I ordered this guitar from Schecter. Can't wait!
When it comes to making sure your tone isn’t muddy when tuning down, the best thing to do is look for a new set of pickups so you can play in lower tunings. I have the Seymour Duncan Nazgül and Sentient set for my seven string Jackson and notes ring out so clearly for me.
I got the EMG 57/66 which is very underrated compared to the 80 counterparts. Tbh I absolutely love these as they are much brighter and produce more of a contrast between the strings on my 8 string.
@@wingsoficarus1139 it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted this, sold the guitar I had the Nazgül and Sentient pickups in it a few years back and I’m starting to regret it. 😂😂😭 over the years I’ve had the EMG 57/66 set on my radar to try it out, but never got around to it. I’ve also been eyeing a set of DiMarzio D Activators for my Jackson King V, or at least a set of Fishman Fluence Classics with the default voicing for both pickups set to voice 2. I heard a comparison for the Classic set compared to a set of Seymour Duncan JB/59 and the bridge pickup actually sounded tighter than the JB. I’ve definitely gotta keep my eye out for both the Fluence Classics and the 57/66 and maybe compare them and see which set I prefer. 🤔
@@Stretchwreckedem469 yeah, honestly for me, the only reason why I settled with the EMGs was the black chrome variant cus it just looked so good.
Happy to see somebody threw in some Rush riffs!
I've never had a bad experience with Schecter guitars they are tone rich built well and I've had no qc issues im very happy and and making them my number one Brand.
Nothing like a new guitar.. someone was sooooooo excited.. some new shredding now.... enjoy..!!
living Off Grid McGarvey style I certainly will!
I found myself liking white/lighter color guitars more (that's why my 8 string is white with a maple fretboard LOL), love this one too! looks and sounds amazing.
They don't make the white anymore. I'm so sick of quilt maple but all the guitars I like have quilt or burl. It's cheap veneer and it's played out and is tacky imo.
Great review and demo man, thank you.
Friendly note, you have your pickups mixed up... You state that you are playing your bridge pickup, when you are playing your neck pickup.. other than that, great video! I've had this guitar for years, and I still love it. GO. AVS!!!
If you play in drop D a lot you should get a D Tuna,it goes from drop to standard tuning with just a quick flip.
Nice video bruh, Synyster is your friend !
very eye-catching. I bought a blackjack flat black with a sustainer it seemed to be my go-to guitar !
good chops my friend,
deep like a Gibson fast like a fender Best of Both Worlds~Schrecter rocks☆
Nice useful vid. I'm thinking of picking up a red or purple one, but also considering the new SLS models. Need to get my hands on them to see how they compare. Nit-pick: for the clean tones where you said "bridge pickup" I believe you had it set to the neck pickup.
I got the exact guitar but the C7 version. I like watching this vid because it makes me feel good about my guitar...
Douche confirmation.
Thanks for this, I just bought a non FR version. Weird though, it came with a white headstock, looks killer.
PITCHFORK .....Its for guitar,, but I use it to get a fat deep beautful bass tone, I use to on my Vocals & Ive even ran my E drums thru it to screw with the tones of them. My favorite is vocals, I easily sound like the big bad Metal guys, but without it I sound like a southern dork. Pitchfork is my favorite pedal on the planet.
Nice video, I wouldn't normally get a white Guitar but yours looks good 👍 I've got a black cherry one coming. The guitar sounded really good 😎👍
Nice white guitar but it looks a little odd with the black headstock lol
Great job for your first review... Thanks... Gotta get me one !!
i just bought the same guitar second hand in red, thanks for the review.
One of my wishlist guitar ! Looks good !
Digitech Drop tune is great pedal !
Fantastic review. Thanks
im so depressed I had one of these and pawned it good buy cruel world!!!!!
I hate when you need a quick buck and you've come back just too late and the beloved axe is gone..I lost my 95 Jackson professional that I had custom tapped and carved the inlay by hand for 75$ till pay day...I kept drinking and remembered a few days after my due date but the owner told me it got sold the day it hit the floor 😭
I bought a hellraiser absolutely love it.
I don’t like the whammy bar because it’s a pain to adjust the guitar anytime I change string gauge. For this reason I would go for the Hellraiser C1
I see Schecter changed his logo in actual hellraiser guitars.
Ah I really want the purple design. It’s very eye appealing
I recommend on the hellraiser to use 9 to 46 hybrids. 10s seem too tense.
For E standard yes,for D the 10s are fine.
the only thing that i would change at this guitar is the fretboard...with ebony fretboard it will be perfect
It is an ebony fretboard.
@@johnjonestheman it is rosewood
very nice axe! love schecter guitars and my kh c-1 ex s too. the sustainiac pu sound is killer 💚🖤
I have a similar model but older and in black gloss and it's the best sounding guitar I own and is ridiculously playable for the price. The floyd rose is kind of a nightmare to deal with but I ask for it by being a floyd rose n00b
CUÁNDO SERÁ EL DÍA QUE TH-cam IMPLEMENTE UN SISTEMA DE SUBTÍTULOS EN CASTELLANO PARA TODOS LOS VIDEOS
i buyed me one of these today those are fucking amazing sounds just brutal raw and great.
I have no idea how to make a youtube video for your first one you hit it out of the park
What amp and other pedals are you using
Nice video, very informative. How much does this guitar weigh? I see different weights online and the manufacturer has not responded yet.
Love mine I have the black one. Mine is non Floyd as I detest setting them up even though I know how to set em up. Mine has schecter branded locking tuners. Have mine tuned to D standard..
I couldn’t find a purple one. I found a red one was the last one left. I haven’t got it as it’s being shipped maybe regretting the color choice? I’m not sure black seemed a little boring and it’s one of the first guitars I’ve bought online without seeing it in person. Either way hope I like it!
I don't know if you're going to see this, but THANK YOU!
I bought the Hellraiser C-1 FR in purple (I'm now looking at the white with big eyes!) and came across your video in my phase of "finding videos to hear how cool my next guitar is about to be." I tend to play Slipknot mostly, but lately I've been really loving A7x and, due to old love, I play BFMV a bit. I had completely forgotten about Floyd Rose tuning being an operation of its own. That said, your video reminded me of that bit on the Floyd and gave me the solution, and showed me playing the music I WANT TO PLAY that this pedal sounds great with my next guitar.
I'm sure you didn't intend to have an audience that fit this video like a glove, but it's me, and I'm super grateful.
John Howlett That’s awesome! I’m glad to hear that it was so helpful 😁🤘
GREAT REVIEW
"id buy a new guitar before i change strings"
(Me crying in poor)
Hey bro. Do you like the guitar bro. Buy another one bro. Haha. Good vid and great guitar. Hope it's still going well for you.
watching every moves ..superconductor
Question on the neck - is the Thin C comparable to a PRS Pattern Thin or Gibson 60s Slim Taper?
I wish mine had Duncans in it
Legit debating whether to buy right now or not for a grand I feel like I could get somthing better I wish it had a better floyd rose and a diffrenr neck
Using God’s name in vein breaks the 3rd commandment and if you want people to take you seriously clean up your verbiage.
Now Schecter is now my new favorite build of guitars and your guitar is truly a beauty.
I have the evil twin. Truly a sour name for a beautifully built guitar.
how do you get the white one?
I was so possed when he stopped buried alive right there lol
That is a really nice guitar
I like my guitar completely filthy drop it...
Um...HUH??!🤨
waw gg !
Also you just sold that pedal to me no matter what guitar I get because I’m not gonna take it out of D standard
Thanks for sharing a great vid! Good choice on the git!! I have several, identical, two white ones, two black cherry, adn one white V, all S. Korean FR's. I picked them all up used, which is a bit nerve racking, but they all were ok. They are great value and great players, for any style. I would suggest you learn how to tech your own gits. The Floyds are such a pain! But, once you understand, its not as bad as you think. I can restring a broken string my tele on stage, but my first setup moving to 11's and adding a 4th spring with one of these went on a week before I took it to a lutheir, and watched him adn had him show me. Same with the second time. its always a hassle, even for those guys, but once you get the screws, truss rod, springs, etc its good to know anyways, since its your git, and by failing setting up, you learn more! Anyways, just some unsolicited advice. Enjoy your beautiful git!
i just hate the pearloid binding. if only it was black
Hey man I’ve been a Jackson fanboy for years and I’m deciding between this and a soloist or a king v how does that guitar play compared to a Jackson like how do the necks compare? (Obviously feel is subjective but any advice or comparison is appreciated) much love
Preston Dillon I can’t say, I’ve actually never played a Jackson. Though I’d like to!
ZebulaJams Jackson’s are pretty solid especially if you’re trying to stay sub 700$ they’re pretty hard value to beat Imo thanks for the reply tho!!
Preston Dillon when you go to exactly the $1,000-$1,200, Jacksons are very hard to defeat, both, in terms of looks, value, and playability. I’m deciding to get a MIJ RR24, so, either that or this one, though I don’t particularly love the design of Schecters. :)
Sapphire Fazle Rahman I’m considering buying a pro series king v for 1000$ either the v or the sl2 soloist Also 1000$ I’m just trying to find a store that stocks them in my state (I live in a pretty rural state) I’m not the kind of person that spend 1000$ on something based off a picture lol but I agree Jackson guitars are hard to beat plain and simple they make damn good quality for the price that you pay I’ve played Jackson that were cheap and and I’ve played expensive ones and they’re all fantastic
Bruh you played Afterlife first and I was like okay wow wasn't expecting him to jump into A7X that's sick, then Critical Acclaim I was like okay okay he's into self-titled that's what I'm talking about. THEN I heard Exist and that was it, got me liking the video, got me tryna like it twice n shit, no more favorite button so I can't do that but I can leave a nice comment. Good shit.
Nice. I'm more hard rock than metal...but I've been eyeing off Schechters lately. The thru-neck, the snake head headstock for straight string pull thru (for better tuning stability) ala PRS...
And then everything else : the FR...the EMG's...would prefer just one tone, not two...it gets too crowded there for something I barely ever use. In fact, I would actually prefer no tone knobs at all, EVH style.
95% of my tone knob use is just double checking that they are still wide open, for maximum CRUNCH! and Crisp Attack!! Lolz!
And then : mahogany body (Yeah! 🤙)... the carved top.... I love the white too, with the abalone (pronounced: a-bell-own-ee) binding. I think you chose right to go white over purple burst. The purple might be dazzling, but 1) Dazzling is not necessarily better, and 2) If you've always wanted white...get white! You wanna go "FUCK-YEAH!🤘😡" ever time you glance over at your wooden-woman, not ""Eh! 🤷♂️".
Good video Homie!
The pedal doesn’t work right I have one
This guitar is not for clean sound...
Why not? Sounds pretty good to me
I want this guitar just not with a FR
phantumgrey Yeah unless your in a VanHalen tribute band. No Floyd....had my c1- fr for 10 yrs now.
Really good sounding guitar for death metal and heavy metal. This guitar is not for hard rock(sound is too heavy)
Andreas?
Where is this made?
Depends, but most commonly in the United States
Korea or China. Korea is better obviously.
question ... this or C1 FR-S?
Not the sustainiac.
Cant imagine that the tone is as good with that pedal than it would be if you used proper gauge strings and tuned down
Tremolo, please use it
I'll use it twice, just for you
th-cam.com/video/QK7EIY_IWM8/w-d-xo.html
So you sold you other awesome guitar for $110 ...damn what an offer
Love the video - Hate the beard
thereal MCPM thanks?
ZebulaJams haha! I’m just being an asshole man you do you! Thanks for the vid - schecter guitars are awesome. My ESP might have to be set aside for a while.
Go AVS
You listen to Rush; there is hope for you.
9 dakika konuşma 1 dakika çalma var ne bu böyle
Thumbs down only because of that I got money attitude mega annoying ain't gonna front but nice guitar
Brandon Grimm lol
That is THE MOST entitled thing I ever heard “I’ll buy a new guitar before I have to change strings”
Hyperbole isn’t in your vocabulary, is it?
Esp Is better
Better for what?
