New Hellraiser C7 vs Viper 407

Well it finally got here after so much crap with the ebay seller....I wont name names...

Well the craftsmanship on this thing is flawless, just perfect...its a gorgeous guitar, I cant find any flaws....I really dig the EMG707s, I think more than my 81-7s in my viper.

Probably the first thing that I noticed when I strapped the hellraiser on was the great balance of the guitar....this is definitely where the hellraiser wins by a longshot. I find the viper 407 a tad neck heavy which is something I have learned to live with, but isnt an issue with the hellraiser.

The neck is a fair amount thicker than the 407, and although there is only a one inch difference in scale between the two (25.5 and 26.5) the difference in feel is huge. This is definitely going to take some getting used to.

I cant say it sounds better than the 407, they both sound really good. At the moment, I still prefer the feel of the neck, playing comfort and upper...

TOMs are a lot like cheese graters - I used to tear the shit out of my hands playing my friends les paul -

Yeah, my hand actually started bleeding while i was playing some thrash metal. lol. I'm that tr00.

Kven, your tr00ness was never questioned - I deem it somewhat surprising that your guitar doesn't start bleeding while you are administering thrash metal upon it.

well, when i scorn the name of god, the guitar starts bleeding like the wall in that dracula movie ;p
