Hey guys,
I've had my Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C8 for a couple years now and even though I've always loved this guitar, it never got a lot of use.
Don't know why.
I was using an Elixir .70 bass string before which works very well for my M80M but I wasn't feeling how the low F#/F sounded so I switched it up for a .74 Elixir guitar string and it sounds much better now.
Sometimes an 8-string (or other guitar for that matter) just needs the perfect strings in order for it to 'work'.
So I gave also gave it a new setup and it plays really nicely.
The action is low and the amount of fretbuzz is very minimal which is nice because I like low action.
The pickups sound good too, they still sound active but they are much dynamic and clear than the 'regular' 8-string EMG's imho.
The only thing a little strange about the looks of the guitar is that the ebony board has some darker spots that were painted over.
I've seen this before and I don't really mind it but I might get the fretboard stained in the future just to make it perfect.
Anyways, I was having a lot of fun and then I wrote this song.
Hope you enjoy it, gotta love that 'b00wwwww' on the low F.
I gotta say, it's not that far off from my M80M now, and that one sounds other worldly.
