Demo of my Schecter Hellraiser C1 Special (EMG 81/85), played through Engl Blackmore with Harley Benton 2x12 cab. This guitar is up for sale on ebay! cgi.ebay.co.uk/...
I love these Schecter C-1 guitars.I have 5 now,a Hellraiser C-1 FR,a C-1 Blackjack SLS FR,a C-1+ FR from the Custom Shop,a C-1 +,and a C-7+.So actually 4 C-1s and one C-7.
You are really freaking good. I am impressed. It's really nice to see someone else play in Drop C for once. I'm getting tired of people dropping passed B. It doesn't sound good. B is almost too low for me. E-C is perfect. Anyway, really good job!
I want this guitar. Every time I go to my music store, I have to feast my eyes on this beauty and I have to play it or else it's not a complete trip. However, I will get this guitar when I feel worthy of it (and when I get the money).
The special has 81/85 and Jumbo Frets. The regular has 81TW/89 and Jumbo X frets. Hence only about 150 bucks difference in cost, would think there is a bit something more. Maybe different tuners.
i just got the regular with the 81 and 89 it really is a nice guitar, there is a few different ones that where made. i know i wanted one with out a floating bridge i found one on cragslist for 300.00 with a line 6 spider 30 watt and hard case/stand/50.00 haadphones, un open packs of strings/picks/cables for 300.00. got there checked the guitar over called out the neck dings and got everything for 200.00. It is a great guitar i say anyone looking for one you can get the 81/85 or even the 81/89 .
i just got a diamond series all so know as c-1 with 81/89 emg active pick ups. i have had guitars with 81/85 and i have to tell you you can not go wrong with these guitars. I do have to say check them over i know mine was abused i got it real cheap do to body/neck dings and the tone knob might need to be seen by a tech. I have seen these guitars for like 250.00 used. If you like metalcore/ metal/rock/punk these are great. they love drop C.
the normal hellraiser has just a special look, just cosmetic. i own a hell raise c1 fr nd a synyster gates one nd they are pretty much the same on stock equipment. but they sound good with seymour duncan pick ups nd tungsten block
I got one of these on the way hell yeah I'm just glad to have one that doesn't have a Floyd rose I'm tied of them!! There cool to have but when there on bout ever guitar u have it can be a major pain.
Sick playing and nice guitar. Wish the C-1 model was still made. I just feel that the Solo 6 model is used too much. And also this reminds me of newer Disturbed stuff. =]
I mean, I see a lot of Hellraiser types quite cheap if they are not new ones.. they don't hold their value well... great guitars though and sound great
Thanks man, I just got one, diamond series, sounds amazing.. but not sure other than a diamond what it is.. they resale value drops too much though, wish I had just bought a used one...
what are the differences between the hellraiser and the hellraiser extreme please answer I'm looking into buying one of the two I even have my eye on the hell raiser hybrid if u know the differences between the 3 I would appreciate it
I really like the sound on that guitar. im considering buying one but id like to know how stable the tuning is on it. and how comfortable is it for someone with small hands.
I'm tied up between 3 guitars atm, I'm thinking about this one, epiphone bullseye and a gibson sg...Idk I love all of these 3 guitars so much and Idk which I'll end up buying... :
I have that guitar and it sounds pretty good but there is one problem. Low E string seems to be pretty flabby... I think it isn't string gauge thing. I'm using 0.11-0.56 Ernie Ball beefy slinky in Db standard. You had that problem with your guitar?
11’s should be thick enough, I usually use 10’s for D flat. Sounds like you have an action issue. You probably have the reverse of my problem here: th-cam.com/video/q0JVCG_gfOY/w-d-xo.html Try measuring the gap between the fret and the string at the first fret while pressing down at the 12’th fret.
Great job man! Now I'm COMPLETELY confused on what guitar to buy bc this thing is insane! Can it be used for more of a rock arena?? as opposed to the metal side bc some stuff I play requires that fender clean tone
I held one at a GC and I have medium hands and fingers, to me it feels great but the only way to know is pick one up yourself. Feel it play it, shred it. The schecter sls have a thinner profile. Check it out my friend. Play it and see for yourself, read the demensions. It helped me a lot and my hands don't hurt lol
now that's awesome! i have the same guitar and the same amp ;) great taste there, the blackmore is my favourite amp of all time! love the guitar as well, but hated the pickups. but with the duncans it has now there aren't many guitars i like better. btw, what mic did you use?
@@13guitard00d it's gone through a variety of pickups. i had an sh5 & sh2 set in there, sh4 and sh2, sh10b and sh10n set, and currently it has an sh6 and an sh10n. i don't really love the sh2 in the neck, it's a bit boring, i think the sh10n is just flat out better. the sh5 is djenty as hell, tons of attack, not that much output, but it has so much edge. the sh10 is the smooth, clear and fat sounding one, with the nicest mids, and probably my favourite, but it's currently in another guitar (jackson DK2, with the sh10 it's 80s shred heaven). the sh6 has a ton of output and a very balanced frequency response. i'd say the schecter is the angriest sounding of all my guitars, it has the bridge pickup a bit closer to the bridge than all my other guitars, and combined with the sh6 it is a death metal monster. the sh4 sounds like cardboard imo, it's nasal, dull and boring. it also had a gibson HB-L (1989 Bill Lawrence made les paul pickup i found in a drawer) in the bridge for a while, that thing sounds awesome. currently lives in my strat. in terms of hassle, whenever you change a guitar from active to passive you also have to swap out the pots(actives use 20 or 25 kohm pots, passive humbuckers usually use 500kohm pots), so you're looking at a full rewire. it's not hard to do, it takes a bit of time, you'll likely get something wrong on the first try (i've rewired my guitars at least 30 times and i still wire the toggle switch backwards occasionally...), but you can't really break anything. i managed it for the first time as a 14 year old just fine, you can totally do it. i also switched the control layout from 2 vol 1 tone to 1 push pull volume and 1 tone, with a coil splitting option. the real hassle with converting a hellraiser into a passive guitar is that it doesn't have a bridge ground wire pre-drilled. some active guitars have one, many don't cause actives don't need it. most people will tell you to drill a hole to the bridge post to ground it. i didn't want to do that, so i ran a thin black wire through the pickup cavity, out underneath the bridge pickup ring, stripped the end, and wrapped it around the bridge post. works just fine, is almost invisible, and i didn't have to take a drill to the guitar. if you need a picture to show you what i mean i can get one for you. swapping pickups is lots of fun, i buy every used pickup i come across that's less than 40-50 bucks, and sell the ones i don't like for pretty much the same money. i don't think i would have ever discovered the sh10 set otherwise, i got both of those together for 30, and they're my favourite pickup set. buying EMG equipped guitars is great cause they're super easy to sell and fetch a good price, and then you can install whatever you like. the chance that any guitar you buy comes with the best pickups for you from the factory is so low anyways, none of my guitars still have the same pickups they came with (i sold a lot of sh4s and EMGs lol)
thats some nice playing man, i can tell where you get your influences from btw ;) love the playing and im actually probably gonna get this axe really soon, maybe a video reply! sounds rad as shit
Ok thanks, man. Im trying ti decide on a new amp, its between the Blackmore, a dual recto and the ENGL Fireball 100...but I will be playing at low to medium volumes most of the time
love those big wide schecter necks, so much room to move, room for big vibrato and bends.
Your an amazing guitarist. I always loved the way hellraisers sound with the amazing EMG pickups. That is a very creative song you played. Nice
This is a masterpiece man! I became addicted to this video.
Thanks mate, glad you like it.
Really enjoyed your lead riffs and everything blended well. Great job dudee
I love these Schecter C-1 guitars.I have 5 now,a Hellraiser C-1 FR,a C-1 Blackjack SLS FR,a C-1+ FR from the Custom Shop,a C-1 +,and a C-7+.So actually 4 C-1s and one C-7.

+Sticky Poop
Thank you Sir!
Nice played, bro, you're an excepctional guitarrist.
Thank you, sir!
the main difference is the neck, Damien elite's have bolt on neck, this is a set neck (set necks last longer and generally have a better tone).
I want this guitar. Every time I go to my music store, I have to feast my eyes on this beauty and I have to play it or else it's not a complete trip. However, I will get this guitar when I feel worthy of it (and when I get the money).
Great sound and composing skills, seriously the riffing and soloing was amazing!
The special has 81/85 and Jumbo Frets. The regular has 81TW/89 and Jumbo X frets. Hence only about 150 bucks difference in cost, would think there is a bit something more. Maybe different tuners.
You won't regret it, it's a beautiful and awesome sounding guitar
@stevoe1000 the special isn't very different it just has few minor change like 81/89 vs the coil tapped 81/89 on the original etc
This doesn't only smash out metal... Good for anything really
Мне очень понравилась данная тема!!!!!
Звук гитары, сустеин, и техника игры фантастическая!!!!!
Engl показал себя вновь превосходно!!!
I was just looking for specs on a guitar, and then i was blown away by your playing! keep on rocking man, great stuff!
Lefty's Guns Sounds like you study John Petrucci.
i do watch this from time to time
great work
i just got the regular with the 81 and 89 it really is a nice guitar, there is a few different ones that where made. i know i wanted one with out a floating bridge i found one on cragslist for 300.00 with a line 6 spider 30 watt and hard case/stand/50.00 haadphones, un open packs of strings/picks/cables for 300.00. got there checked the guitar over called out the neck dings and got everything for 200.00. It is a great guitar i say anyone looking for one you can get the 81/85 or even the 81/89 .
Awesome. I'll take it! (just bought one of these off of ebay.)
MAGA MAN how is it?
Nice playing man!!!!
Great riffs and chops my friend. I own the same axe and love it. It's a very special axe. Schecter hit a home run with this axe. Rock on man!
What has shattered the cool Hellraiser :)
Amazing, nice style
i just got a diamond series all so know as c-1 with 81/89 emg active pick ups. i have had guitars with 81/85 and i have to tell you you can not go wrong with these guitars.

You are a badass guitarist, dude, no doubt.
+Randy Lema
Thanks mate, much appreciated.
This is definitely the next guitar I'm getting
Just bought one, cant wait for it to be delivered. Nice video dude!
Badass. I'm about to get one of the c1s in red
the normal hellraiser has just a special look, just cosmetic. i own a hell raise c1 fr nd a synyster gates one nd they are pretty much the same on stock equipment. but they sound good with seymour duncan pick ups nd tungsten block
with the stock emgs it's kind of a one trick pony, but with the right pickups and the right wiring it can do everything!
Dude I just bought one of these guitars but you are kickin some ass!
Thanks! They're good guitars, hope you'll enjoy yours.
real nice demo !
And an unbelievable nice guitar *.*
For this one I think I used Ernie Ball .010-.052 Skinny Top Heavy Bottoms.
Dude that was some sick shit!!
Great song, great sound... excelente!
I got one of these on the way hell yeah I'm just glad to have one that doesn't have a Floyd rose I'm tied of them!! There cool to have but when there on bout ever guitar u have it can be a major pain.
very nice played
some pretty awesome guitars there...
Very well played !
Badass... I want practice practice practice to make mine raise Hell like this
Great!!!!
Sick playing and nice guitar. Wish the C-1 model was still made. I just feel that the Solo 6 model is used too much. And also this reminds me of newer Disturbed stuff. =]
I got the see thru black like this 300 plus 50 shipping can negotiate some with price
Reminds me of Faith No More. Nice,
Imposible not to head bang.Freaking awesome man good job.subscribed!
Ho ho holy shit!!! Xploding with Awesomness 🎆
I mean, I see a lot of Hellraiser types quite cheap if they are not new ones.. they don't hold their value well... great guitars though and sound great
Thanks man, I just got one, diamond series, sounds amazing.. but not sure other than a diamond what it is.. they resale value drops too much though, wish I had just bought a used one...
trying to figure out if I want a Jackson soloist slat or a schecter hellraiser
dude that shit was fucking awesome
Great guitar!
what are the differences between the hellraiser and the hellraiser extreme please answer I'm looking into buying one of the two I even have my eye on the hell raiser hybrid if u know the differences between the 3 I would appreciate it
Very Tight Chops Bro!! KUDOS!!
I really like the sound on that guitar. im considering buying one but id like to know how stable the tuning is on it. and how comfortable is it for someone with small hands.
Getting this guitar tomorrow in the Floyd rose version tomorrow :D
I'm tied up between 3 guitars atm, I'm thinking about this one, epiphone bullseye and a gibson sg...Idk I love all of these 3 guitars so much and Idk which I'll end up buying... :
I would go with Schecter any day.
Oliver Lukacs yea I know just it's like 300 euros more expensive then the bullseye :x
Oliver Lukacs do u have tabs of this song? can u do the tabs and the bakcing? its incredible song
Do you mean the tapped harmonics? You need to tap the string slightly an octave higher to get that effect.
This song is purely awesome, i love it ! May i ask you the tabs for it if you still have them please ? Thanks a lot !
Exelent bro ! This is the push pull version ? Beatyfull guitar 🎸
I would say the target market for this one is metal but it's perfectly possible to play anything on it.
nice
yep. the only reason i took it over the c1 custom.
Very good video man!
Lucas hiho))
Can u help me with choice ? What about Smolski or Blackmore? which amp will be better?
So whats the difference between this guitar and the damien elite 6?
To be honest, I have no idea :) Looking at the specs it looks like not much. The Damien has more awesome inlays though.
Sweet man!
Btw amazing rig u got there and amazing playin
I have that guitar and it sounds pretty good but there is one problem. Low E string seems to be pretty flabby... I think it isn't string gauge thing. I'm using 0.11-0.56 Ernie Ball beefy slinky in Db standard. You had that problem with your guitar?

Try measuring the gap between the fret and the string at the first fret while pressing down at the 12’th fret.
Nice tones.. can I ask, whats the diff between the special and the normal Hellraiser..thanks
Getting ready to trade in my jackson slxq on this ;)
Great job man! Now I'm COMPLETELY confused on what guitar to buy bc this thing is insane! Can it be used for more of a rock arena?? as opposed to the metal side bc some stuff I play requires that fender clean tone
Yes, not bad but the lacquer on the back of the neck is a bit too thick for my taste. Other than that I can't complain.
I know this is a guitar demo but the mix of the guitar was amazing! How did you go about mixing it?
wat do u mean their resale value? nd why a used one?
FUCKING YES. Sounds so sick. Did you do a review of this guitar on ultimate guitar??
i wish to buy this but im told that the neck is too thick !! is it good enough for short or medium palms ??
I held one at a GC and I have medium hands and fingers, to me it feels great but the only way to know is pick one up yourself. Feel it play it, shred it. The schecter sls have a thinner profile. Check it out my friend. Play it and see for yourself, read the demensions. It helped me a lot and my hands don't hurt lol
Awesome video! How do you get such a natural smooth sounding tone when recording
Your guitar?
Just bought it. Can you recommend strings?
what is the name of this song?
Now I want this guitar !!! Are you happy now ??? ;-)
Shit, Chuck Norris wants my guitar! You know he's going to come for it but you don't know when. Expect to get roundhouse kicked in the face anytime!
can u do the tabs of this?
at 2:47 how did you do that?
Nice playing, nice guitar. It's confortable to play?
what song guy
Awesome sound, love it! Did you have any special set up done on that guitar, or just what the store does when you bought it?
No special setup. This is how it came out of the factory. The only thing I did is I tuned it down to drop C. Cheers
this is insane!! where can I get this song
Nice playing, but you could have cleaned the headstock before
now that's awesome! i have the same guitar and the same amp ;) great taste there, the blackmore is my favourite amp of all time! love the guitar as well, but hated the pickups. but with the duncans it has now there aren't many guitars i like better. btw, what mic did you use?

thats some nice playing man, i can tell where you get your influences from btw ;)
love the playing and im actually probably gonna get this axe really soon, maybe a video reply! sounds rad as shit
No, this is a solo from one of my own songs.
can u sell tab/notes for your songs?
To be honest, I have no idea. This is the only Schecter I have ever played, but maybe someone else here knows.
Nice video, thats riffs remind me Hatebreed
Can you email me a tab of the part from 3:22 to 3:28 ending in the squeal? it's bachian at yahoo.
Is this more like "all around versatile" based model, or is rather a heavy metal BUM BUM guitar?
can you get these tones from the blackmore at low volumes?
+terry lafauci
It sounds fairly decent on low volume as most of the Blackmore's sound comes from the preamp, however louder is better.
Ok thanks, man. Im trying ti decide on a new amp, its between the Blackmore, a dual recto and the ENGL Fireball 100...but I will be playing at low to medium volumes most of the time
+terry lafauci
I think the rectos have to be driven pretty hard to get a half-way decent sound out of them, never tried one though myself.
0:57 is this a pinch harmonic vibrato?
Yes.
Oliver Lukacs is it easier with active pickups?
Not really. I have guitars with both active and passive and I never noticed a significant difference.
Damn, I just can't do it on my E string. :|
Tech Of Tomorrow brought me here...
Cool awesome demo! What is the name of the track you are playing?
No name, just a collection of random riffs. Thanks
damn, you even use the same strings!
