Feature:
K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid. Not too much crap on this bad boy. Split coil taps are pretty cool, especially if you're playing clean.

Quality:
Absolutely solid. It could probably survive a nuclear holocaust.

Value:
It's a high quality guitar, but it sells at much less than you'd think. It's still expensive though.

Desirability:
It is an incredibly appealing guitar. I bought the off-white model, and I love it.

Sound:
The Active EMG pickups give this guitar such an amazing tone. The String-thru-body also gives the sound a huge sustain boost. This is definitely one of the best sounding guitars I've played in years.

Ease of Use:
So easy. Not the lightest guitar in the world, but it plays so nice.

Support:
Haven't needed support yet.

Overall:
This will be a guitar I take care of until it spontaneously combusts. It is very well built, I don't think anything is going to fail on me, and it looks too nice to let it fall into a state of decadence.

Feature:
The features of this guitar are awesome! With the EMG Active pickups, the set neck and the string through body, this guitar has killer sustain and you get clean sounding harmonics. The Mahogany body gives you a nice full sound.

Quality:
The quality seems to be really good. Nothing falling apart yet....

Value:
The value is great for what you get. When you look at the features of this guitar that you get. With the EMG's, Grover Tuners, Set neck and Mahogany body. There are guitars out there with half the features and double the price.

Desirability:
The pictures of this guitar don't do it justice. I bought the Black Cherry guitar and I get so many compliments on this guitar just because of its looks. Before I even plug it in.

Sound:
It has the versatility to be a Metal Beast, and then with the ability to split the double coil pickups, you get that clean single coil sound.

Ease of Use:
This thing has a super fast neck, and its easy to reach the 24th frets.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with support yet, but if they put as much effort in support as they do in the craftmanship, I'd have to say there are no worries there.

Overall:
After buying other guitars, I've always looked around at what other guitars are out there that I liked. Now that I have this one, I feel like I don't have anything else to look for because I've already got the best. I do have to say that my next guitar someday will definitely be another Schecter.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Well I keep the volume at 10. But my friend likes to Killswitch alot and that works perfect. everything just is so easy to do with her.

Quality:
I think this is made great. onlything I would like more is if it was made in the Usa. But apart from that No this is made by the hand of God almost. amazing.

Value:
For the price you can do no better.

Desirability:
She is vary sexy. the look and the feel. Just like a woman you love. you just want to touch her all the time. cant keep your hands off.

Sound:
I Got this about 2 years ago. I must say It is the best guitar I have ever owned or played. I use to play yamaha or Gibson. But I think once you go Schecter you cant go back. I have 60 gaged strings tuned down to a G and she never fails to keep the tone and the tune. there is nothing i would change on her. I have to say perfect.

Ease of Use:
It gets harmonic notes easy. It runs Hot so every thing you do just hits you. I love that because I need to hit hard and fast and she does just that.

Support:
I never had a reason to call them. She is to perfect.

Overall:
I will be Satisfied for life. I will never play anything else but a Schecter hellraiser. though I do have the Schecter 7 string omen.

Feature:
I love the EMG pickups, always have. Love the grover tuners, great and stay in tune forever. The Pull/push pots are great and add a variety of sound to this guitar. Tuneomatic through body bridge allows for easy tuning and replacement of strings.

Quality:
This guitar is amazingly made well, Schecter made a beast. It's great for all kinds of needs; performance in small and huge venues, on the road play, practice at home, practice in a garage, recording studio you name it.

Value:
Great value, best metal guitar in my opinion for under 1k.

Desirability:
Amazingly beautiful guitar, it's looks rival the S-1 elite. I love the abalone binding and quilted maple top, headstock looks amazing, and the inlays are killer. Even if it didn't look as fancy, it would still play great, but the looks take this guitar to another level! Great metal guitar.

Sound:
Great sound, great tone, and with the pull pots it'll sound great with clean tones.

Ease of Use:
This guitar is great for shredding and playing rythm. Jumbo frets fit very well, neck isn't too thick and it's light, but not too light.

Support:
I'm not sure about this one, haven't really ran into any trouble yet.

Overall:
I will use this guitar until it's impossible for me to, but I'd get it annually repaired and if I get the cash again I'd buy a new one if mine were to get stolen.

Feature:
Comes with two volume knobs, tone knob and a 3 way selector switch. and coil tap on both volume knobs if you want to clean up the sound a bit. It stays in tune. Only thing that turned me off before was the fact that the guitar takes batteries haha but It doesnt bother me at all with the sound I get from the Activator Pickups.

Quality:
Schecter did a number making this guitar. Neck thru is always nice, The pearl gothic cross inlays are beautiful, I got the black cherry one and I love everything about it. Average weight, not too light but it isnt heavy at all. The guitar is gorgeous no questions asked. I thought it looked good in pictures but seeing it in person is a whole different story.

Value:
For $700 this is a steal. I probably won't ever buy from anyone else but Schecter in the future.

Sound:
Sound is amazing, the EMG 81/89's do an awsome job and those pinch harmonics come so clear. Has a really nice clean sound. This guitar just sings to you as you play it.

Ease of Use:
Probably the best guitar I've ever played. I've played high grade Gibsons, ESP's, Parker, Jackson and this really blows away everything i've played before. Don't go spend 3 Grand on some les paul when you can get an overall better guitar that sounds and looks so much better like this for $700.

Support:
Never had any problems with Schecter. I got what I ordered nothing less.

Feature:
The tonal choices that you have seem limitless!

Quality:
This guitar is awesome to look at especially with the black cherry finish I have. I absolutely love the inlays too...

Value:
I'm glad I got this one instead of the one I had originally intended to purchase. I played both and the Hellraiser was more superior in value and quality.

Desirability:
Sometimes I just take it out of the case just to look at it and not play.

Sound:
I love the way this guitar sounds. I'm a novice player, but I know what sounds good.

Ease of Use:
Half the fun is modifying the sound to your personal specifications. Luv it! Luv it! Luv it!

Support:
Not applicable yet

Overall:
Almost bought a Gibson and changed my mind after playing the Hellraiser. Schecter is my guitar brand for life for sure. Would love to see the neck a little skinnier for us girls. Our hands are smaller! :-)

Feature:
As said before the pickups are HOT, it is coil tappable, the finish is flawless. The only problem i had is the every schecter guitar come set up & ready from the factory but the action on my low E was a bit too low so i had the annoying buzz around the 1-6 fret range.. no problem, if you are looking into this guitar you should be able to set it up for your self anyways.

Quality:
this thing is amazing, FLAWLESS, the finish is gorgeous (black cherry) The matching of he top quiltng is perfect. The black chrome hardware is great quality & adds class while keeping it dark.

Value:
This guitar is worth every penny and then some!

Desirability:
This thing is a looker,

Sound:
METAL!!! In my opinion this is the best metal guitar that you can get for under a grand! I thought about picking up some blackouts for it but the standard actives are just as good, it would be a waste to spend 250$ more. The coil taps are nice espically with the tone controlls, giving you a wide tonal range! Clean tone come thru super smooth.

Ease of Use:
Big sound, fast neck, sick tones!! you cant ask for much more...id drop a grand for this easily & not think twice.

Support:
havent had to. that should say something about the quality thet schecter puts out!!!

Overall:
this thing will always be with me! never replace it, lust add more guitars to my collection. will definately add more schecters.
