Video Review - Schecter Guitars Hellraiser Solo 6 E/A

[hugo3697]

I want one!!

[BigMagnumims]

dont wanna insult anyone, but the acoustic pickup and the hollowed body is useless in this case.....

[pivetlord13]

emgs dont sound the same in every guitar. it depends on the wood of the body

[kristicrosswell]

sniffle ....sniffle.................sn­iffle...

[jitk1]

@shango02005 yeah i have used them in one of my guitars, there only decent with a modern high gain sound, other than that i think there really muddy but im also not a fan of active pickips either

[themodernguitarist]

@jitk1

You must be doing something wrong. EMGs were made to be tight and articulate. I'm using one of their pickups that supposed to be super bassy and its still extremely tight.

[overdriven77]

Please Premier Guitar.......do a review of a Marshall VBA tube bass amp with matching 4x12 VBA cab

thanks

[Elazul451]

Really, a semi-hollow with EMGs? Why?

[Metallimeister]

@Elazul451 Fishman piezo in the bridge... listen

[ImaDjentleman]

at 1:17, he fingered the f hole :/

[ItzR3zR4pt0r]

@ImaDjentleman lmfao

[TheGospelGuitarist]

@urmom102697 It's the cheap version of the pickups, no clearity whatsoever. Replace them with good ones and the guitars are pretty sweet. Although I would never do this EMG acoustic combo myself. I would go with '59's and a custom or PAF's.

[Socioistic]

Come on, man. Don't stick your finger in the f-hole.

[Zimt18]

I like the idea of that guitar...but why emgs? i just don't like them...

[masterbeat04]

@urmom102697 with emg's only...emg's make a really muddy clean sound... 

[SixStringHarmonies]

81/89 is a good combo. Some of you people are nuts....the EMG 89 single coil tapped in the neck sounds awesome.....I almost like it as much as the Duncan sh-2 on my LP and that's the BEST neck pup I've ever heard, just as good as their $1000 Zephyrs imo. You listen with your ears.

[Martinroot]

I have a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 my self. With this guitar i think that Schecter have pushet the Hellraiser to fare. I still remember wen the Hellraiser came out it was just a simple stript down metal machine with standard EMG 81/85 combo. Then came the coiltab version with is ok but took some of the coolnes away from what i think was the intencien of the guitar from start. And now this? NO way... Call it something else just not a Hellraiser. The Hellraiser is not about versetileti. SIMPLECITY..

[evansa7x]

Why in the world is he playing a schecter clean?

[theverbalrelease]

I think it should be really easy to write reviews on EMG guitars. All you have to do is say, "It sounds like a guitar with EMGs."

[Metallimeister]

@theverbalrelease Negative.

[ViktorVR]

@guerri89 Both brands are shty , what do you spect.

Also he never use the 89.

[guerri89]

@ViktorVR my ltd vieper has emg pickups and they sound great with my rig, mesa is a great company, expensive but since i watched the mesa factory tour i appreciate it more, they sound great usually

[ViktorVR]

@guerri89 Almost LTD shit comes whit EMG , and I mean it's all right for that kind of guitar that's a cheap made but expensive guitar as for the quality you must remember LTD means I can't afford an ESP.

And as for the Boogie amps never suit well to me I prefer to use Diezel or ENGL a bit more expensive but much more responsive.

The other problem is try to play analog whit digital which means EMG w/any tube amp , it's like try to get water from a rock.

[guerri89]

@ViktorVR man, i have the EMGs and a peavey 6505, i know what i'm talkin about, they sound good for what i play, now i got a set of bare knuckles and it's another world, obviously, but emg sounds ok to me, de gustibus

[zadraluca]

Stop playing rock on EMGs

[shango02005]

That first thing you played at around 4:00 gives the impression that note definition was not too high on Schecter's priority list...

[HurricaneTBag]

@shango02005 Considering this guitar's about a grand or so this is a pretty fucking good guitar for the price. Since Schecter primarily markets itself to metal and hard rock players. Also if it's a Piezo style pick up it should be plugged into an acoustic amp. If you're going for the sounds that this guy's trying to produce earlier in the vid you should probably get a Fender or another lighter guitar. Also passive single coils...the tapped 89 has nice cleans but they're not Fender cleans.

[jitk1]

@shango02005 that would be due to the shitty deffiniton of emgs

[shango02005]

@jitk1 I think you may be right. I've never used EMG's but I do remember hearing someone say that before.

[maneatingtoilets]

I love the style of the review. Dont see enough of the guitar in others.

[fendermac]

Reminds me of an old Aria PE to look at...that's enough for me.lol

[rickwicz]

Nice playing, but a horrible review. There was the piezo with both EMGs, but not the piezo with just the neck or just the bridge. There was no playing with the EMGs clean either. Too much video wasted on the 3 pickup combo.

[themodernguitarist]

I don't see why people hate it... I like it. And it sounds a lot like the other guitars done in PG reviews.

[weischamp]

nice review, keep them up, but horrible guitar! The tone is very bad!

[DMSProduktions]

@weischamp Active pickups! What you expect? The piezo was pretty good!

[weischamp]

@DMSProduktions you´re right ;). yeah i´m not a big fan of the piezo but it was okay...
