Not a fan personally. The non-cutaway side looks swollen, and the cutaway horn is a little too "curled in" for my liking, like an old flamenco acoustic or something. Nice to see Schecter trying to branch out though.
 
Re: New Schecter 2009 Hellraiser Solo 6!

I have to disagree here. For the most part, these appeal to an entirely different market than most Gibson offerings.
Guys that are after a vintage tone would probably not buy it,but metalheads that like singlecut guitars surely would.

Like I said, that wouldn't put much of a dent in Gibson's sales figures :laugh2:. Maybe ESP/LTD...
 
Re: New Schecter 2009 Hellraiser Solo 6!

i like the tempest better, and as far as that shape goes i like the michael kelly better.
 
Re: New Schecter 2009 Hellraiser Solo 6!

An emo kid might play one.






So they've clearly got their target audience in mind.
 
Re: New Schecter 2009 Hellraiser Solo 6!

I got that too.
To me it looked WAY too much like a Michael Kelly Patriot.

After Michael Kelly decided to go against Schecter toe-to-toe with their Hex and Vex series it appears Schecter decided to answer with this.

It'd be interesting to see where this'll go to :D

The more i look at it the more it looks to swollen to me also.

Here is some more new Schecters.

I'm really sick of the cheesy abalone purfling they've been putting on all those Asian imports for the last few years.

Indeed.

I can think of no less than a dozen guitars that could be kinda cool (or at least tolerable), if only a shellfish hadn't barfed its home all over them.
 
Re: New Schecter 2009 Hellraiser Solo 6!

None of those guitars are doing it for me. I like Schecter, but I agree with the others. Sometimes the goofy binding and what not really make them look cheap.

Gotta agree with the consensus, it appears that it is a sign of quality for the Asian people but AFAIC it just looks tacky most of the time...

I find all those pretty fugly. The V is decent but I'm no V fan.

I hate the melty look of that LP. Offset designs are meh. Just like the ESP's melted SG: the Viper.

The gloves are on!! haha

I prefer the Kellys. PLUS, Schecter uses EMG on everything. MK uses passives on many of thier models and they are using rockfields which are pretty good. I dont care much for the EMGS.
