Jumping On The Hellraiser Train!

Rayder · 05-31-2007, 08:07 AM

I've wanted one of these for a while, and just bought one. Getting it shipped from the US.

God bless america and their low prices :P

(im from australia BTW)

when she gets here, gonna slap on some 11-58's on there. its gonna be a beast!!!

05-31-2007, 08:22 AM

I envy you.

Michael · 05-31-2007, 08:33 AM

Awesome!

Nice to see more Aussie's on here.

forelander · 05-31-2007, 09:29 AM

Where'd you get it from? I noticed a site on Ebay offering hellraiser for $700 with free shipping to australia. Pretty good deal if you ask me, I've been thinking about getting one for a while, but am getting an S7 instead. If I sell the S I might try the hellraiser out, or just get one anyway and sell it for an inflated (but still cheaper then you'd pay here) price.

Welcome and good score !

IBZ Addict · 05-31-2007, 02:03 PM

I jumped on the hellraiser train a few months back and am glad I did. The hellraiser neck actually felt more comfortable than my 7620's neck. My fretting hand felt less strain in the thumb joint.

eleven59 · 05-31-2007, 02:28 PM

I love my Hellraiser, it's the best feeling guitar I've ever played and suits me perfectly.

Welcome to the forum man, and congrats on the axe!

kmanick · 05-31-2007, 02:39 PM

Congrats and Welcome!
I love the Hellraiser 7's
Nice guitars!

jamesboyd · 05-31-2007, 06:25 PM

Good stuff man, I've owned one and they're killer.
Personally the baritone scale, and emg's just kept it from being a keeper for me.

I'd did however price up a Carvin DC727 for a reasonable price at www.musicsatmelbourne.com

My next could be from O'Donnell Custom Guitars,handmade fine quality boutique Guitars

fingers crossed for a Fusion 7 string soon \m/

Atomic_gerbil · 05-31-2007, 07:09 PM

I ordered mine last saturday, but I didn't make a thread about it

(Black, too. yummy)
Welcome aboard!

Shawn · 05-31-2007, 08:11 PM

Welcome! Congrats on the HR too.

Rayder · 06-01-2007, 02:27 AM

thx guys

i got it on ebay, cant remember if it was free shipping or not...

how wuld u guys rate the tension on the strings, with it being a set of 10's, and the 26.5" scale? i like really tense strings...

EDIT: also, could anyone take good pics of the headstock? like front, back, side? thx heaps

I've got 10-70 on mine and it feels great down a half-step or even a whole-step, and in standard it's ridiculous how tight the strings are (which is good for me

).

Rayder · 06-02-2007, 07:38 AM

haha lol sounds a bit overkill for the tuning you use :P

anyway ordered me a set of 11-58's for tha hellraiser. me likey tight strings. you get used to bending em after a while anyway

Nope, I use 10-52s in standard on a 6-string, so the 70 just makes sense. Especially since I'm always changing between standard, Bb, A, drop-A, open-C, etc.

Rayder · 06-02-2007, 08:50 AM

yea i tried 11-54's in E standard once. i originally had them for drp C, and just out of curiosity tuned it back up to E. i really liked how tight the low E felt and sounded

Shaman · 06-02-2007, 01:48 PM

Congrats!

It is an awesome guitar. I have had mine for almost a year now and it only gets better day by day.

The neck is very comfortable with good access to the upper register. You can shred like a bastard with it. It needs a bit of getting used to, and that's why a lot of Ibane... other players (

) "hate" the neck. Yeah, the neck is a bit thicker than usual, but the shape of the neck is what counts. Very comfortable and fast!

I use 10-60 on my Hellraiser.

I hope to see some pics when you get yours

+1. Even as an Ibanez player, I found the neck to be really comfortable. I think it's good to have a few guitars with different feels, just in case you start cramping up or something.

Emperoff · 06-02-2007, 08:30 PM

I left mine on my bandmate's house for about two weeks, and played a lot my Ibanez S-7420 meanwhile. When I got my Hellraiser back, I was afraid of finding the neck too big and having to get used to it again. When I took it from the gigbag and played, just said "welcome home"
