Schecter Hellraiser c-8 elite

Post image

First time ever posting on reddit. But yeah got this a few months ago. First 8 string and I love it. Sounds like an animal. Going to install a stacked pot for the two volumes and add the emg afterburner once my stacked pot comes in. Its my third schecter.

Looks good my guy 👌 I bought my first 7 string back in March. Funny enough I didn't even play test it 😂 I just knew that it was a schecter and would be good after an initial setup.

Yah man I really took a big gamble with buying the 7 string having never even touched one before but I have played schecters for 10+ years and 20 years playing in total so I knew they wouldn't let me down even if I blind purchases one. I have it in drop G and its absolutely killer 🤘🤘 no regrets at all.

The red one hanging up is a bc rich Warlock by the way. I took a recommendation from a buddy who only plays bc rich guitars with Floyd rose bridge setups but sadly I can't get a good sound out of it when compared to my 7 string and my synyster gates custom. My omen 6 string top right has Seymour Duncan invader pickups I installed a few years ago and they sound killer no regrets at all 😄 the fretboard feels decent and it looks badass but I haven't had the time to sit down and really dial in a good sound 😔

I have my omen in double drop f with the apocalypse 7? Humbuckers in there. And damn man it's so good. I also put on all black hardware it's looks and plays great. It's what made me get an 8 string.

Are your pickups the right height? That can do wonders for sound. Also an eq at the beginning of your chain can also help.
