Schecter Hellraiser C-9 Debuted on Schecter's Site

[Necris]

28" Scale doesn't bother me one bit; just like 25.5 didn't bother me on early 8 strings. I'd replace the strings anyway if I bought one so that's a moot point. However, I won't be buying one because it looks just as cheap and gaudy as every other Hellraiser.

DAMN! Schecters website must be being hit HARD. Can't get onto it without timing out to see pics of this beaut. I need to know if its an Ibby, a Schecter, a Legator, or an Agile I should be lusting after this year.

 

[Preacher]

oh yes, cherry and abalone

 

[Zado]

Looks like the guitar IS set neck.Schecter's bolt on is way different than that

 

[Go To Bed Jessica]

The specs on the Schecter site say it's a bolt-on.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Could be a typo. The site isn't finished yet, it looks like. We'll find out tomorrow/today.

 

[Wings of Obsidian]

I'm calling it! NAMM 2015, the 10-string guitar makes it's mainstream kick/debut!

 

[InfinityCollision]

Nah. It's been 7 years since the RG2228, if the big companies ever do release a 10-string I wouldn't expect it for another 5 years minimum.

Totally! All 11 of us potential 9 string buyers are checking it out simultaneously!

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Yup, looks like a set-neck.

 

[Zado]

there's also the (very) expensive version

.... all of your shit. Pay attention to how the bitch is strung.

THEY STRUNG IT ....ING RIGHT. THE STRING GAUGES MAKE A RELATIVE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL ....ING SENSE FOR ONCE.

.009/.012/.016/.026/.036/.046/.064/.080/.090

len 28
e2 .046 danw == 21.08#
b1 .064 danw == 23.21#
f1# .080 danw == 19.98#
c1# .090 danw == 13.76#

Sorry man
Gonna need waaaay more than a 90 on this!

Still not convinced about straight scale 9's but this one would do the job for Eb standard personally

just realised i bet they don't release a lefty version

Given Schecter's track record of making a lefty version of everything, I wouldn't be surprised if there is one. That being said, I think 9's will have a much more limited appeal than 8's have enjoyed. Atleast for now. They'll probably test the waters first to see if they actually want to commit any more money to the idea of a 9 string.

I would love to have a week or two with one, to see if I could get an intelligible sound out of one, or be creative at all with it. I didn't think I'd like the low F# of an 8 string as much as I do. I don't think I'd touch one at less than 30" scale though. I think 27" is just barely long enough for F#, so only one inch more for 5 semitones lower just doesn't jive with me.

^Intriguing.At first,it seemed you wanted nothing to do with a 9 string.Now you're salivating at their beautiful yet expensive model.Looks like it's around $4,000 from what I can tell...

 

[Philligan]

Aww man, I thought it was a 30" scale.

 

[Zado]

Course you D'Alema!


I'm buying any diamond schecter with that trans grey finish btw

[Dethyr]
