  • this or the blackjack?

  • My next Guitar <3 But the Limited Flame Edition xP

  • @FTruness Awesome man :-) You will be most pleased

  • @savagesanity in 3 Month ><! Nice playing btw ^^

  • @FTruness You wont find another guitar that you LOVE as much as the Hellraiser. Trust me. It's an amazing guitar. I'll never let mine go.

  • Nice riffs, but to be honest dude it's pointless doing a 'sound test' with active EMG's being put through computer speakers and a pod. This guitar sounds nothing like yours when put through proper amp.

  • @A1phawolf It's what I had at my disposal at the time. Unfortunately college costs a lot of money and buying an expensive tube amp to play through isn't really feasible right now. I think it sounds pretty good considering what I'm playing it with.

  • I'm thinking about buying this guitar. How would you rate it? What are the cons of it? I know it has a nice floyd rose built in, but does it hold tune? More importantly does it keep it's tune when you do crazy bends on it? I'm a blues guitarist and I like doing bends a lot. I know this thing has the option to change up and get the blues sound too. So what all can you say about it?

  • @Darkit2099 Mine doesn't have a FR on it so I couldn't really tell you too much about bends with a whammy bar. It has Grover locking tuners and they keep in tune pretty nicely when I do finger bends.

  • If you got together with some people and made some full songs it'd be pretty cool

  • lol the fret buzz is very loud :S

    nice riff btw

  • Sounds a little bit like Pray for plagues with BMTH in the beginning :P

  • @xitezz Not sure who that is, but thank you for the compliment :-)

  • nice accent

  • @cromaticas What?

    

  • @savagesanity your accent,well idk if i typed it right english aint my first language :P its a different accent

  • @cromaticas Wasn't sure if you were trying to be a douche and be sarcastic or if you were being serious lol...it sounds funny because I was sick and had a cold in the video

  • @savagesanity lol no i actually thought it was cool.well anyway cool playing :P

  • @cromaticas Thanks :-) Always appreciate kind comments

  • Beautiful! Just Plain Out Awesome!

  • Good job, dude! I want one of these. Of course with the FR and coil tapping, it's my dream guitar.

  • Badass playing broo!

  • Comment removed

  • I play in a metal band and I've been thinking about getting this guitar. As far as reliability goes for tuning in drop C (and not de-tuning itself), would you recommend it? Thanks for the video btw, love the riffs.

  • @metalnation73 It will hold its tune just fine since it has locking tuners. However, the grooves in the nut aren't big enough to hold anything over probably an 11 (and that's pushing it). If you are going to put heavy strings on and you don't want it to de-tune, you need to take it to a shop and have them file the nut so that you can fit the strings comfortably in there. An exception to this would be if you bought the version with a Floyd Rose, in which case the strings should fit fine.

  • Nice man, its a really good guitar, i tried it out at guitar center today, its so easy to use that neck man! its an amazing guitar!! wish it was a bit cheaper, but its worth the price, ur one lucky dude! definantly plan on getting this later on

  • Wow great riffs! I like your style. How do you find the thickness of the neck and the weight of the guitar?

  • @Lucdiggs It's good for me. The neck is a bit thicker than the Wizard-II on my Ibanez S-Series, but it's still very playable.

  • does the volume knob near the bridge pick up get in your way?

  • @mackie73 No I don't think that I've ever hit it while playing

  • This is a bit of a dumb quesition, but how do you play the riff starting at 1:59 ? it sounds awesome. i'm getting a hellraiser soon.

  • @FauxStudios It's just picking single notes on inverted power cords on the A and D strings

  • @savagesanity

    Thank you!

  • you just made love to that thing man great work, definitely picking this one up

  • Sounds good, but i wish you played other things too. It kinda helps to know what this guitar is capable of doing, except for.. melodic death?

  • @nirvanafrik What else was I supposed to play? Smoke On The Water, Stairway To Heaven or Smells Like Teen Spirit? This guitar is named "Hellraiser" for a reason. If you want to see some cleans, look at the video I posted of me playing stuff with a clean tone on it.

  • whats the tuning? please thanks

  • does this have a coil tap

  • @KingofPho75 I played one yesterday at guitar center, it did have a coil tap. Its nice, you can get a strat kind of sound out of using both pickups as single coil. I dont think it had an emg 81 though, it was another type with the emg 85.

  • @Brndnrchrdsn85 might get now

  • Your tone is really good, especially after consider you get it out of PC speakers!!! And the riffs are badass!

  • the second riff is fuckin sick i like the speed picking part. awesome demo keep it up

  • i m about to buy this guitar. can you please tell me if i wish to change tune, can i do it easily or is it as much hassle as a FR guitar..!! sorry for asking this

    nice review thumbs up

  • get a really fucking amp! it sounds great on a good half stack. I have the same guitar, and your disgracing it with computer speakers lol

  • @AShallowGraveNJ Are you talking about your solid state mini-halfstack that your mommy and daddy bought you when you showed them how good a boy you could be by not eating cookies before dinner?

  • @savagesanity man, could you do some metallica covers?

    Harvester of sorrow would be sweet.

    Great playing btw, that was fuckin awesome!

  • @savagesanity sounds like somebody has anger problems

  • @TrippyTheShroom Thanks Dr. Phil

  • @savagesanity No problem, feel free to contact me at:

    I-800-NOT-REAL

  • @TrippyTheShroom Shit that was hilarious bro...I like your jokes.

  • @savagesanity Thanks lol, i like your riffs...they're actually something good for a change. I see all kinds of random bullshite that people post up as "awesome original riffs" that are nothing but famous riffs with 2 note changes and some random galloping.

  • is this good for august burns red? i know they use the Ibanez RGA72QM but i cannot find that guitar anywhere

  • I just got the schecter c-1 hellrasier in white and it was 750

  • I'm looking for a good guitar but to play death metal. does this guitar achive that scrachy sound like a king v or rhoads? nice riffs!

  • awesome tone and great playing!

  • im still high from i dosing but i like this guitar so much im gonna totally buy this and the Rammfire amp

  • ur heavy breathing kinda creeped me out...

  • @DemmelitionMan95 Read the description next time you watch a video.

  • this guitar is what $600? and has a set neck,emgs,great finish,mahagony body,rosewood fretboard,grover tuners,how can ibe that cheap other guitar dont have half that and are way more expensive something is got to wrong

  • awesome video dude,I'm also planning to buy this guitar for black&death,progressive and thrash metal.

  • HELLYEAH!!! sounds evil dude \m/

  • got the same guitar my dad got for me, this is better than the fr because the fr is such a pain in the ass but the guitar is amazing

  • Kick ass! Im looking at buying this guitar real soon and you have shown me how epic it is :D

  • Love that sound, but a little more treble maybe

  • turn up the treble.

  • @TheSupermonkeypants Had you read the video description, you'd have seen the treble is already set at 100%.

  • @savagesanity Okay then, turn the bass down a little, geez...

  • @savagesanity TURN IT UP TO 11!!!! Plus do you know if Guitar Center would let me pay a little each month for this? Plus this comes in black right? Plus whats the songs used in this? OH ITS PROBABLY IN THE DESCRIPTION RIGHT?

  • @HeadmasterPrime5 No, they wouldn't let you. You'd have to make up the entire amount of money and bring it in at one time. You could probably hook it on the corner though, sell that tight little 15 year old ass of yours that I know your dad has tapped two or three times at least. That's just one way though.

  • @savagesanity What about my ass? How do you know im almost 15? Are you my real dad?

  • @HeadmasterPrime5 Your dad is that one old dude that lives with you that makes you take showers with him and play Find The Pork with him when mommy is away.

  • @savagesanity Wait is this your idea of Arkansas? cuz it aint like that at all

  • @TheSupermonkeypants The muffle sound has nothing to do with the treble setting on the amp. It's how the mic is placed. Turning a mic on it's side as opposed to directly towards the amp will give it a warmer feel. So the muffle sound is really a factor of this video being recorded with a camera mic, the fact that the camera (and therefore the mic) is turn almost all the way away from the source of the sound, and the fact that the source of the sound is computer speakers.

  • Ur an awesome player and im really thinking to buy this guitar, just a question: how does the neck feels for leads and shredding and stuff?

  • @FamGuitarist It feels pretty nice. It's a set neck so it's easier to hit the upper frets than on a bolt on. Get it set up by a pro and have the action lowered as much as possible...throw on your strings of choice and you'll be ready to go.

  • @savagesanity you can easily lower the action yourself... with the bridge and trussrod...no need for pro's at all... learn to do it yourself for free :)

  • is it bolt-on neck?

  • @Jousteh Set neck.

  • @savagesanity you should try the d'addario prosteels... much better than the d'addario nickelplated imo

    they dont turn black easily and a super clear define sound :)

  • aaah man 8*( the vid would be so much better had you actually recorded and realigned the audio later. I mean you are using the interface :P anyways, nice chops!

  • @redoubt9000 I guess. Maybe next time. It was just a quick video. Thanks for the compliment.

  • hi how is your ux1 connected? i have the ux2 but the stnadard version not with all amps.. i play it with the usb port but it sounds very bad my pod x3 live sounds bedder have also more amp models so you have a tipp or do i have to buy the full version but if the amp models now sounds shit the other maybe too^^

  • your fucking brutal dude, sick video.

  • dude, breath through your nose. after every sentence, you sound like darth vader. cool riffs though. great playing

  • @FenderrMann Read the description next time.

  • @savagesanity hah, my bad. I never read those things.

  • why some hellraiser's got a cross on the 24th fret on some other doesnt?

  • @jmdb1994 I think the ones with a floyd rose have them, and the ones without the floyd rose dont.

  • Hello....i am about to buy this guitar asap but though you already have it i'd like to ask you a question..My old guitar loose its tuning very easy (has a licenced under fr patents bridge) and i don't want to have the same problems with my new one. I like all the features this guitar has but can it hold its tuning ?? From what i have read, the TonePros bridge does a very good job but i haven't played yet a guitar with such bridge..

  • beautiful guitar, I think I'm buying this next to go with my ibanez rg370dx! great playing too! get a band and write some songs with those riffs, they're killer

  • Thanks for this video really helped me , buying one now.

  • HOLYYYYY FUCKING SHIT!!!! UR RIGHT HAND IS A FUCKING MACHINE GUN! ROCK ON MAN! AWESOME SONG INDEED AND I THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME REVIEW!!!!

    STAY HEAVY! \m/

  • How exactly do you connect the UX1 to speakers like that? Can you please tell me the EXACT cables you use?

  • Hey i have the same guitar i just cant get that heavy grung sounds how do you have yours set up?

  • mal wei mal

  • I love this guitar and have the black see through!

  • sick riffs btw and im going to probally get this guitar nice review :D

  • Man.. sick riffs. I have this same guitar, and I love it. The EMG's just crank out so much powerful tone.

  • yo man can you give me ur opinion on ur guitar. Im about to get another guitar. I have an esp horizon and a gibson sg but want another for downtuning and playing live. My heart is set to get an esp ec1000 in either vintage black or silverburst but I have recently found a hellraiser on craigslist for a steal about $450 perfect condition too. My only things against the hellraiser is that every time I play it at guitar center Im am discourage by how poorly its set up. What do you think?

  • That's a nice thrash sound mate! Like Slayer for instance! And the guitar sound was really good, I'm thinking of buying this Schecter and the more I listen to the sound the more certain I become... I play all sorts of music... Good video once again!

  • Could you please explain how you play that fast bit in the riff that starts at 0:55? im trying to find new stuff to get into mu own playing style and that thing in your riff my friend , is a beast!

  • Line 6 ftw!!!

  • I'm selling my Gibson for this guitar, I hope it's worth it..

  • thank you mate, I've been deciding whether to get this guitar or a LTD standard series, I think this changed my opinion a little. Thanks (:

  • nice playing,im getting the c-1 with the 81and 89 but

    what worries me is the battery life and the active pickups,

    do you have any helpful information on this?

    thanks

  • @KurisuDikei lol i have the exact same guitar incudling the pickups its just that the guitar is the older model. the battrey life is pretty long i changed mine about 5 months ago with a 9v battery and its and the mulitmeter now reads 8.8 on the battery life lol thats a pretty long battery life id say...

  • Really cool and heavy riffs!

  • the first riff sounds like a song , i just cant think of it , sweet vid , tho im looking to buy one of these guitars , how much was it ?

  • @triviumfan141 i got mine used i got it for $450 in perfect condition look at mi review the regular price for this is $900 but im not really sure about the sale plus the tax. Also be aware this is the 2006 model not the new hellrasier c-1 which has 81/89w so it would be way more difficult to find these one's but im not sure wen u can buy the new 1 u can change the pickups i havn't seen any1 do that before. hope this helps ;)

  • Very nice bro. I want this guitar, the standard version if I can help it because I'm not about looks but rather about the effort I put into it. I just don't have the money yet and even if I did my Line 6 Spider 3 30-watt amp probably wouldn't do this guitar justice tone-wise. But at least I have goals. lol Keep rockin'! \m/

  • Have you ever tried using the podfarm software it comes with using dual tone it's amazing what you can do with it and podfarm2

  • amazing riffs m8 not only is this a good guitar u r a good guitarist, btw how much did u buy that 4

  • Are you using Riff work?

  • nice playing nice guitar nice review !

    Gonna buy a guitar next month maybe a C-1 :)

  • how did you get it 600 bucks under price

  • Does this guitar sound good clean?

  • love the vid make some more some time

  • thats some damn good comp speakers

  • sick Math Metal haha

    Drop C?

  • what is gearbox how does it work and where did you get it? you can play guitar through your computer speakers with it?

  • id love to play that shit. my kinda style

  • damn to bad

  • savagesanity what do you think of the c8 hellraiser

  • @loosifur I'm not sure...I haven't played one. I played the C-7, but haven't found any C-8's in the store yet.

  • Do the active pickups die a lot

  • @VenomeouSvideo die?

  • wow sick riffs man :)

  • great, I just got my Hellraiser today, the same model as yours. Too bad I'll have to wait until tomorrow until I get my amp back.... but the axe is beautiful :))

  • I WANT THAT GUITAR!!!!!!!! but i cant afford it :(

  • Should i get this or a ltd h-1001 deluxe?

  • @Jigsaw662 Id say go with the c1. Its cheaper for one thing. Its down to your own preference though. I have a c1 but i dont have an ltd h1001 deluxe the closest thing i have is an sc500 from the 2002 line that I put seymour duncans into. The sc500 cost 1600 and the schecter cost half that and is the better guitar. Ive played a good few ltds and the 1000 series are nice guitars but id say buy a schecter and save some money or spend a little more and get an actual esp.

  • @Jigsaw662 Actually scrap what i said about the price cos I just checked around and h1001 deluxe are way cheaper than i thought (over here theyre way more expensive) Still though id still go with the schecter.

  • I have almost the exact same setup for recording! haha only my UX1 has the black plate instead of red. Also the pickup combo in the older model of the schecter, in my opinion, is was better seeing as how I would never need to send it to single coil mode lol.

    Good stuff by the way! :D

  • fucking sick sound dude!

  • i need help i just got this one used on hold 4 me and i noticed that the other ones they had in the store say produced in korea and the one i got says china does that mean its a fake?

  • Not trying to say you're ripping your riffs off dude but that reaaally sounds like pray for plagues by Bring me the Horizon

  • I never really liked Drop D tuning, but nice guitar.

  • dude you fucking rock!

  • Dude I have that same chord poster haha.

  • NIce man. Thinking of getting it, the pickups sounds fucking epic

  • Nice style you in a band

  • Dang man you have a nice style. I like how you add in the heavy tremolo picking into your galloping.

  • great vid...nice riffs too. catchy :)

  • The 81tw-89 suck balls! they are so weak....not made for metal. The 81-85 is totally the way to go. Just got the crappy 81tw-89 switched to 81-85. Bought it with the others because I liked the feel of it and I got it bran new at a great price.

  • So is it a difference between the standard emg 81 and emg 81 tw? even when you got the tw in humbucker-mode?

  • @kallemalmsteen

    Yea, the 81tw isn't nearly as hot. Sure they are a little more versatile....but I don't really hear a major difference when they are tapped and when they are in humbucker mode. They are more of a rock pickup.

  • @Th3R3GuLaToR yeah i bought a hellraiser tempest and i thought it would have the coil tapping but it was an 07 before they added the 81tw, but i don't really care since i played one with the coil tapping, i wouldn't use it anyways

  • @leifnoto

    Good choice man!

  • gearbox's distortion sucks so much balls lol.

    it's cleans are amazing

  • god i want a shecter hellraiser so bad. ive been wanting one for years all i have is a vester stage series and i know if i had a shecter i would rule

  • I went to a guitar shop and tried this one, I don't know how it sounds but it weights so much, pretty heavy.

    So I didn't buy it:) Hehe:)

  • can i get tabs

  • I bought one of these with the 81/89 combo. I absolutely love this guitar. It is the wet to my dream ;)

  • @itffgtr ha...nice

  • omfg...I almost bought one of these off Ebay for pretty damn cheap when i was looking at my last guitar (LTD H-500) fuckin' wish I got teh schecter...

  • i thought it was emg 81 and 89?

  • would you recommend a Dell dimesion

    B110 with the tone port.

  • Im gettin the limited edition green c 1 in 10 days =)

    fuckin cant wait

  • Any tabs for the riff that starts at like 1:35

  • Just bought a factory second one of these (81+85 - cause thats the best setup :) ) from your tone im delighted i did ! Also... Awesome playing man, reviews from decent players playing what the guitar is build for is how to truly sell a product to the end user.

  • Just got a factory second also!

  • Are you in drop c or d?

  • Drop D

  • its EMG 81tw and 89. not 81 and 85

  • No, it's not. If you would have read the description, you would see that I have a model from before EMG introduced the 81tw/89 Hellraisers.

  • then upgrade dude. big difference. the 81tw/89 are fn sweet

  • Why? I have no need for a single coil sound. Spending money on an 81tw/89 combo is utterly pointless.

  • i absolutely agree. split coil is dumb. but the natural sound of the pickups without being split is way better than 81/85

  • The single coil tone is only optional. It's push and pull knobs, making it single coil or humbucker tone.

  • 81/85 are better anyway!

  • @mcshfiftyfive55 You got told

  • @mcshfiftyfive55

    Those came in my Hellraiser and I think they suck. I swapped mine out with the 81-85. The 81tw-89 combo didnt have enough juice for me. No real Crushing tone with them.

  • SICK dude!

  • nice riffs dude ;)

  • very nice riffs.  Inspiring too

  • One FUCKING nice guitar! Looks like you where born to play this beast! haha

  • Dang dude, I want to be that good one of these days. I want that guitar too, lol!

  • dude ur riffs are blistering !

  • dude ur pretty amazing with that guitar...idk where u live but it cool to start a band with you but im pretty sure u already have one.heavy music is what i love

  • Hell yea Psychostew911, I eat a big bowl of Squeely-O's every morning with a side of buttered brutality bread and a glass of some Chunky Low-J . Also I gotta say that out of all the Schecter Hellraiser videos...this guy has the best fucking tone out of all of them. Totally crushing man!

  • @Th3R3GuLaToR Don't know why I need to point this out, but you know how to say "bread" in French? PAIN. Coincidence? I think not.
