Awesome review! I have the 7 string version of this guitar and it is the best guitar I have ever played. The stainless steel frets are a dream to play and it sounds amazing. I agree with the lack of low end but if you lower the (the word escapes me) individual screws for each string on the bridge pickup just to where they are flush with the pickup housing it solves that, at least it did for me. Mine came with them all raised pretty high and it had the sound of a cocked wah pedal especially on leads. I actually liked it at first but then started missing the chug you mentioned so I tried lowering the little individual poles (that’s the word!) and it was instantly solved. I may actually raise them back up for recording leads because it really sounds cool but not so great for rhythm..great job man!
Schecter guitars are the best. I should know, I have 3 of them and counting. Best guitars I've Ever Owned! And I've been playing for years. Go to GC or Sam ash and try one today. Guaranteed u it goes home with u. Haha
I never could figure out a good use for a sustainer pickup rig until now. You educated me. Lol! You should do a retro series like review old BC Rich and Charvels or even some obscure 80's era shredders.
Man I don’t care what anyone thinks or says I’ve owned schecter guitars since 04-05 for the money wtf else could you want for the prices like that apocalypse if made by another company big or small would go for two grand or more
Stay Metal Ray yeah they are and man my oldest one my c6 xxx has been thrown into walls by ex girlfriends same with a c7 blackjack I had it was a 2015 the black with red pinstripes Fucking amazing guitar and got launched like a 300 spear broke one string that’s it lol
I have the gray version, with the same specs as this one. First the heavy neck may be a little bit of the carbon reinforcement rods? The sustainiac is tons of fun especially since it has a intensity control that a lot of sustainiacs dont come with. For the price these axes are feature rich. 🎶🎸
Thanks for the video Ray. I just pulled the trigger on a 7 string version. Good honest reviews like yours help the buyer in the online world immensely. And some sick riffs to boot. Bravo.
I have the blue reign so sweet. Now the case with black interior is nice. All I can find is blue interior cases for them. Where did he get his black one? If you know.
What does third knob control? Guitar and playing sounds great! Guitar has a 26 something scale length which is unusual and that may be the low end missing. Longer than Fenders
I know :/// such a shame. Stupid ocean hahha. Man I appreciate your support. You are always commenting on everyone’s videos in the community and I love reading the funny shit you say
Hi Ray, I love your Demo. Yes the finish looks so awesome, and it sound great. I like the idea of stainless frets. Thanks for the Demo, I'll catch you later.
@StayMetalRay I recently received a C1 SLS Elite, I noticed the action is low (which is great) but i notice a lot of fret buzz. Even with trust rod adjustment. Curious if you had issues on your Evil Twin or on the Apocalypse you did with the Demo. Would you return this one? I'm very worried that the build quality may be in question. Thanks for your time and response!
I know this is old, but wanted to ask what you're running this through.... I'm tore between this and the silver mountain.... You may have kind of answered, but wanted to check and I think I heard more low end punch... Was curious if you had experience with it.
I have a Schecter C-1 Platinum FR S and I LOVE it. Schecters are really killing it. You really turned me on to Kononykeen Guitars in a big way and I am ever so grateful. I actually spoke with the company about my modding ideas on a breed fifteen guitar. They have a very cool customer service staff. Do you have a preference between Kononykheen and Schecter? I have some very interesting mod ideas I want to pursue.
MORE EVIL TWIN! Thinking of buying it and all info on it is helpful. Your review was one of the best I found for it and it sold me, if I am using the phrase right ... Anyway, nice video, keep up the good work.
I'm torn between getting the Evil twin frs or the apocalypse frs. The apocalypse has passive pickups and the intensity knob. On the other hand the ET has the active fishmen but no intensity control. Can you explain the function of the intensity knob and whether it's worthy/must have feature or not. Do you think the lack of the knob would mean the intensity is at max by default?
i have a guitar that comes with sustainiac . The sustainiac intensity varied from string to string and from frets to frets . Thus the intensity knob is very useful to fully even out the string response as you switch from note to note.
Best music channel I've subscribed ever! Good presentations, best informations and so well structured with a good attitude and honesty. (AND AWESOME MUSIC 🤘) Definitely looking for a Schecter for my next guitar! One question: what plugin did you use for the drums? It sounds amazing!
How was the neck profile comparison between the Ultra Thin C on the SLS Elite and the regular Thin C neck on the Apocalypse? Really curious because this has deterred me from pulling the trigger on Apocalypse.... I really really love the Ultra Thin C neck profile
Its definitely not as thin, but still fast. It's way more comfortable than the ultra thin for me, because of my bigger hands. Plus the natural satin neck feels so good to play on. I'd compare it to a modern stratocaster neck maybe? Like a player series
I found this video whilst searching for a review of the C7 version. Ray, have you played the 7 string version? In my mind the 7th string will compensate for lack of low end ;)
After the Sustainiac-novelty wares off (which doesn't take long) the Sustainiac becomes a useless waste of pickup space. It's best to order one with EMG pickups in the neck and bridge positions.
@@mixc8 My regular (no Sustainiac) Schecter Hellraiser C1 with a Floyd Rose came with a Bridge-Emg 81TW Humbucker, and a Neck-Emg 89R Humbucker. Keep in mind that the pickups are Active, and they sound great, but I'm no real fan of having to change the 9v battery, because I practice a lot , but that's up to you. Hope this helps.
I know this is a super late comment but does that guitar have a satin back and neck? It looks like it does in all the pics I've seen and that would def make me pull the trigger and purchase.
Really digging the guitar especially the sound, however the color has me a little concerned you mentioned it looks a lot better in person but in the pictures looks like it was shot up with a paintball gun. Does it look splotchy in your opinion?
Fucking loooove Schecter guitars. Love. Hate Floyd rose with a passion tho. Kinda mixed feelings on this. That being said I’d absolutely love an Evil Twin vs. Apocalypse shootout. Fucking horns bro.

Actually loved the tone. Sits great in the mix! Also the guitar looks great.
Schecter is total love. 💕
I’ve always had great results with schecter! Hope you’re well buddy
Great Demo Ray. I've been crushing on this axe for a while now. I think I'm convinced that I must have one.
Haha well happy to help Jon

How much is it over there? Here in Australia it is 2,036.75, everything’s always so expensive here fml, definitely my dream guitar though

Is the guitar worth buying? How does it feel? Did you mod it?
Glad to hear that this thing sounds so good, ordered one this week and iv’e been looking up demos on it
Me too - can’t wait now - got the 7-string
Eugene Bird it’s well worth it
That finish is absolutely beautiful!
Right! Gorgeous
Well done , decent of Tim to lend that ax to ya. Great community glad I found this channel
hey thank you so much for stopping in!
I’m a big Schecter fan and I love the satin gray Apocalypse, super great playing guitars.
#SchecterGuitars #TheBest
Shoot, I was just looking for a review of the guitar and found a killer new channel 😂 awesome job 🤘🏻👊🏻
If you ask me, the Rockerverb sounds like it certainly helps with filling in the low end, which melds perfectly with those pickups!
True true! I could definitely see that!
Thank you for your service! and your rock!

I would send you all of my guitars for reviews if I weren't on the other side of the ocean! 😉

Hi Ray, I love your Demo. Yes the finish looks so awesome, and it sound great. I like the idea of stainless frets. Thanks for the Demo, I'll catch you later.
I just ordered this but without floyd rose because it makes my restringing take way more effort than I care for it to.
How is it
Thank you again! Awesome riffage! \m/
You need to do more D standard tuning; that tune was KILLER 🤘🏻 #Schecter
Hey thanks Jeffrey! I thought it sounded pretty good as well!
Just got one from SweetWater and I must say it's a beauty
Hell yeah dude sweet now I want this guitar again lol. Love the isolated sound and the mix amazing

Have the red reign and totally love it, getting the hellraiser 7 string in just over two weeks 😁😁😁😁😁🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Your mix sounded great, Ray. I really like what you did with the drums man and the chorus kinda reminded me of Deftones in a way lol
Hey bro! Mannnn thanks so much! I can kinda hear a deftones vibe for sure
Best music channel I've subscribed ever! Good presentations, best informations and so well structured with a good attitude and honesty. (AND AWESOME MUSIC 🤘) Definitely looking for a Schecter for my next guitar!

I'm looking to getting the Solo-II Apocalypse, but I'm mainly a ESP/Japanese guitars guy so idk if k will xD.
Is that not awkward switching the sustaniac on and off?
Not at all honestly. It’s pretty effortless
Riffs ahoy!. Yes, shootout would be awesome 😃
Again, props to Tim. Great work 👍
AAHHH I CAUGHT THAT PEARL JAM BLACK RIFF IN THE SOLO
Chugginess! 🤘🏼🎸🤘🏼
Hell yeah boss 🤘🏼
Nice axe man...great tone...great chops too
Great Guitar! Ray
Beautiful Guitar
It also has glow in the dark side markers too 😉

Great guitar sound and maybe is your playing fantastic!

@ Jay which EMG pick ups would you suggest ?
@@mixc8 My regular (no Sustainiac) Schecter Hellraiser C1 with a Floyd Rose came with a Bridge-Emg 81TW Humbucker, and a Neck-Emg 89R Humbucker.

Yeah the back and neck are natural satin swamp ash, amazing feeling and incredibly fast. Same color back as the rust grey apocolypse guitars
Am I the only one to hear the physical noise of the switch through the amp with this guitar ?
Put the SWARM pedal to that beautiful guitar! Love all you do!🔥
Is it possible on this guitar to change both pickups to EMG 81 85? If it is needed
I think so ya!
@@xanderraymondcharles Thanks! Stay cool! (and safe)
Really digging the guitar especially the sound, however the color has me a little concerned you mentioned it looks a lot better in person but in the pictures looks like it was shot up with a paintball gun.
Does it look splotchy in your opinion?
I mean....apocalypse
Ahh this makes me miss my old damien 6 meh!
This guitar is beautiful but can it do anything else besides Metal? Serious question.
Schechter 'E-1 Evil twin review please!!!
I like you're demo song :) love the red to :)
Thank you so much pierre
I got the Rust one with 1500 FR and Sustainiac, guitar is insane! Fuckin Slayer!!!
SLAYERRRRRR
do you recommend this or SLS elite?
The sls elite is amazing but so is the apoc....believe the sls had just a little thinner of a neck but this apoc neck is still pretty thin
Ooooo I was about to hate, until you totally bossed me out with the isolated demos and other goodness you offered. I should probably be more patient.
I going have is guitar c1 frs
Is this an actual song? This is amazing.
You should Demo an Eastman SB59
3:41 I love Pearl Jam
Es un avión!!! El sustaniac increíble. Una ferrari!!!
La tienes? La acción es baja? 🤘
