Wow, what a disappointment!

[Matt08642]

So I finally got to try out an Ibanez RG1527 yesterday. I was REALLY disappointed by the neck. It just felt too damn thin in my hands.

I then tried a Schecter Hellraiser C-7. I loved it, I loved how it felt like a damn baseball bat with strings!

Hellraiser C-7 is what I'm gonna save for now!

i'm playing my hellraiser right now and it kick's ass, plugged straight in to my marshall stack!!! awh yeeeaahhhhh!!!!!!!

The Hellraiser is like the les paul of 7-strings.

I thought the Epi Les Paul 7 string was the les paul of 7 strings

 

[CHAWLthornacus]

yes they are!!! except i can't get into les paul's,had two black custom's. my god they weighed a ton,well 2 ton's maybe. loved the the sound though.

no epi's please!

I feel just the same, I'm thinking about selling my RG because the neck feels to thin for me, I should try some LTDs and Jacksons too

Personally, I've gone away from the thick necks. I'm getting a thin neck on my KXK, and the Conklin 7 I just bought has a very nice neck that way. But it's all a matter of preference.

I was really disappointed in the RG1527 I got too, but for the opposite reason. I thought the neck was kind of clunky compared to most Ibanez 7 necks. I also didn't care for the rotting pits on the rosewood board.

If you like the feel of the Hellraiser, stay away from any Ibanez/Jackson/anything really... the only other neck thats as beefy as the Hellrasier that I can think of are the USA Washburn 7s.

Good luck finding your Hellraiser. I recommend trying the Schecter C7 Blackjack model too, that's a good one as well

That's odd... I must be the only person happy with their RG1527?

To each his own, I guess

I love my RG1527 to death, and I can't stand chunky Schecter necks.

Well, I think that anything thicker than an Ibanez neck would suit me fine. Anyway, I think it's the extra flat profile what bothers me.

I like it, but i don't have one

The Schecter it's the law, man trade your 1527 for a Schecter, maybe someone in the forum want to trade it.

saludos!

I haven't played a 1527, but the stupidly thin Wizard I neck is my favorite neck of all time.

 

[7slinger]

my 1527 plays like a dream, I love the neck...if it feels too thin for you, you would probably love the profile on my JC, it's a touch thicker

Yeaaaah... you must be.

it took me six month's before i found my hellraiser and i bought it that day!

I tried the blackjack too, but I liked the sound of the EMG 707's more.

I really need a job now...

I sold my 1527CB and the money went straight onto a UV777pBK.
