Hellraiser VS. 1527

Atomic_gerbil · 05-18-2007, 10:09 PM

Two very different guitars, and if you could get both for the same price, which would you go for and why?

I personally like Nevermore, so I'm leaning hellraiser....

Out of the two I've only played the 1527. I think I'd go for the Hellriaser myself, though. Mainly for the looks, EMG's and hardtail.

Personally, I dont like Schecter sooo

1527!!

I've played both and liked them both however, i'm an Ibanez guy so the 1527 is what i'd choose.

As I said via PM, I haven't played both, but the RG was an ovious choice for me. It has:
a slim neck, for large stretches.
Jumbo frets, because bigger is better. (Although, I don't know what the HR has.)
EdgePro trem, you can choose not to use it if you have it, but not the other way around.
and it has the cool pointy headstock. :P

Played both, Hellraiser by a long shot - I can pull off any stretch on that thing that I can pull off on anything else, and I find that it feels a lot more comfortable to me. That said, I'd personally go BlackJack, because I prefer the JB/59, but Schecter is at the top without a doubt.

Best of both worlds, Schecter Jeff Loomis Sig.

ibby

the schecter neck is fine for rythm
spend 30 seconds shredding on it and youll see why i hate it

Alpo · 05-19-2007, 02:36 AM

I'd have to choose the Ibanez. The Hellraiser seems like a really nice guitar (haven't played one) but the Ibby is the most comfortable guitar I've ever played. Oh, and I'm not a fan of EMG's.

I've spent 2+ hours shredding on a HR.

The neck is awesome, btw. It's flat like a Wizard 2 but fat around the sides like a gibson. Best of both worlds IMHO
