8 STRING HELLRAISER!

Schecter's manufacturing and design impresses me once again! So much so, that it has changed my opinion on 8 string guitars. This is the Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-8. I borrowed this guitar for a music video shoot and now I don't want to give it back! What's one guitar, am i right?
Yes, I'm not much of a djent player, so I'm using this extended range guitar in a more traditional way. Lots of musical fun to be had though!

That ultraviolet finish is so damn good, I've had my eyes on a 6-string with the same color. Also those dark chrome covers on the pickups really give it the perfect finishing touch.

I realize Im quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream new movies online?

@Valentino Ben No problem :D

[@mateuszt661]

for me as a drummer, 8 string is an incredible tool, especially for tapping, I don't get why many guitarist hate it so much. It's not like it's made for people who can't play 6 strings, it gives you soo much more sounds and possibilities to play

[@brianw.359]

Many just hate extra strings. I get rebuked often online when talking about the 6 string bass I play. I'm like its art, like it or move along?

[@captpootis8495]

@@brianw.359 I’ve always wanted an extended range guitar/bass, But I’ve only played for two years on guitar. (I mainly play slipknot so I have most except for on of my guitars in either drop b or drop a.) Since I feel like I should get a bit better (even though I can fluently play Eeyore) I shall quote mick Thomson. “ Why get a seven string if you haven’t mastered six?”

[@theinfinityscout3289]

I think most people don’t like 8 strings just because of the fact that the tuning is so disgustingly close to 4 string bass tuning. Why don’t we play bass? You can do more with an 8 string. More strings = more possibilities. I think it might also be the fact that a lot of people who use 8 string guitars don’t even use all of the strings, which is something I try my very best to avoid doing

[@brianlee2646]

I have this guitar and I absolutely love it! When playing an 8-string for the first time it takes a minute to get used to the picking, it just doesn't feel right at first, but once you get used to it the sky is the limit with this thing. It opened up so many more possibilities for song writing

[@xjeszuz]

Im about get the 7 string version today lowkey hyped lol

[@brianlee2646]

I have enough problems with 6 strings.

[@dragan4658]

Schecter makes high quality guitars without a doubt and this one is no exception, that finish is exquisite!

[@andreschong1478]

That’s some pretty good editing and comedic skills you got there. I wasn’t expecting that ending hahaha

[@theguitargeezer878]

Beautiful guitar Max, your the master of reviews. Can always gaurantee top notch information on all your reviews.

[@keithsmith9889]

That's a bad ass paint job

[@Cestariarts]

Finally someone showed this piece of beauty!

[@RayDGoodwin]

Guitar looks awesome man! I just bought one. It should be arriving in the next week or so thanks for the video!

[@ubmastering]

If you ever want to do another 8 string review I recommend the DKAF8 MS by Jackson. Picked up a gloss black one earlier this year for $660 new.

[@seanortigoza3931]

I want one! Sadly, it's hard to find knowledgeable dealers here.

[@Ramskull5]

Watch it! Before long Max is gonna be the next tosin! 😂😂 Keep killin it man

[@keithsmith9889]

Nope... That's taboo you know the rules can only use the low string on a 8 string!! Lol jk

[@iniquity7]

lol love the joke at the end!

[@endoamuse]

Hahaha... For Sure! 😂

[@DielectricFailure]

*When I owned my Agile 8-string… what I did was set it up so I had one lower string and one higher string compared to a more traditional 6-string guitar. 🍀🏆👑🎧 I think that’s best for the industrial music I create.*

[@robertclark1565]

Djenty!!! I bet a 8 string strat, tele and les paul will be next as all the manufacturers jump on the bandwagon

[@joebodynobody764]

8 string D-28

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

The 57/66 set is my favorite. Love your vids

[@seanortigoza3931]

Mine is the EMG X series.

[@3badthebad]

Dude can you record a full version of the demo at the beginning? That was fucking sick!

[@MetalBeastShred]

I'm just here for Max's shirts. XD That's a nice looking guitar however.

[@AJbassist]

MAX u do a really good job of doing 80% cover of a riff just enough not to be flagged

[@markdillard4428]

That ending was dam funny Max.

[@Xelyk_]

Schecter is just a damn good company. My first 7string is a banshee elite 7. And its still my favorite guitar the supercharger pickups are amazing. Half bass quarter treb and max mids! Crushes!

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

The riff you played reminds me of something that Bolt Thrower would write, it sounds tight!

[@zynosgd9982]

My main two guitars right now are my Kiesel 6 string and my Ibanez RG 8 strings. I barely ever use the 8th string yet I'm happy that it's there so I don't feel limited. If I ever want to accentuate a chord or riff and play it an octave lower, I CAN! And that feeling is amazing, knowing that I can always do more.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

OK, that thing is gorgeous! Fun video, too, I got a laugh out of that ending!

[@7579cognos]

BRO!!!!!! YOU NEED TO CUT AT LEAST ONE TRACK WITH GUITAR. THAT SOUNDS CRAZY BADASS!!!

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

That guitar finish is to die for.

[@kirkr1961]

Said it before, Schecter makes awesome guitars. Highly recommend them to anyone who plays. 'Nuff said.

[@captpootis8495]

I just got my first one yesterday and it feels about the same as my Jackson Mick Thomson sig, And I absolutely love both so much. I threw my Schecter into drop A while I have my Jackson in drop B, Love them so much they feel so good to play on.

[@DC11music]

I bought one because of this video. Awesome guitar!!! Awesome video!

[@jimmintz4348]

I will get one of these soon for sure. Very cool guitar. Thanks Max!

[@tonym4781]

Back when guitars only had 4 strings everyone thought those extended range 6 string guys were crazy!

[@jamesdean9195]

You're definately the best guitar reviewer out there. Thanks!

[@chaoticembrace6984]

Oh YA !!!!!!.......THAT IS A WEAPON OF MASSIVE DESTRUCTION!!!!........GREAT VID Max!!!!.....

[@ryanowen5014]

I feel different too now about 8 strings, awsum Vid Max!

[@Pierrestrata]

Normally this is not my style, but this guitar looks like something i would like to try :) great video :)

[@AidarkhanKursarin]

If you like looks of this guitar, but don't want an 8-string, then Schecter already did a 6-string version of this. And also a 7-string PT Hybrid. Both in this gorgeous UV finish

[@daspferd7810]

I play primarily the bass and I'm looking forward a guitar with a long neck like these because of their resemblance with the bass as an interesting range extension

[@jjrusy7438]

I love Schecter. I have 3 of them, but my favorite is a used Damien-6 with the passive EMG's/string thru and those batwing inlays. It sounds so awesome thru tube amps. I want one more: a PT special with the P90. I am not worthy of that crazy 8-string heh.

[@mikemercer5808]

Schecter makes killer stuff. The Hellraiser line is crazy good. I was going to buy a Helraiser C-6, but after seeing this I'm going to give the C-8 a look. Thanks Max!

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

You're welcome!

[@holysmoke8439]

sounds great 👍 this could b your best improv of the yr

[@garymcaleer6112]

Excellent, GM. Merry Christmas, brother. As to the finish I would identify it is the rare gemstone: Alexandrite, whose color changes depending on the lighting. Excellent!

[@DeJotaGamer]

Love schecters since 2001! Got 2 hellraiser, 7 and 8 strings!!!

[@peterdebad1]

Nice!! Great ending. Thanks Max!!

[@DanCouncil]

These are my favorite guitars form schecter. Buying a 6 string model in pt form soon. Have a solo -ii model of one of these and it’s hands down the best mid range guitar I’ve played.

[@Gary-Lazer-Eyes]

Akira is a banger

[@McGillicuddy849]

I played this in a guitar center a while ago, fell in love with it, only knew how to play a Korn song, and didn’t buy it cuz it was too expensive.

[@Trilobite8jesus]

You have the most smooth picking I’ve seen since Buz from Unearth.

[@kryptych]

First of all, love the T-shirt. Secondly, Mark Gemini Thwaite (Peter Murphy, , The Mission U.K., Primitive Race, MGT, Ascension of the Watchers, etc.) has a signature model in the ultraviolet finish... it's gorgeous. Thank you for all that you do with your channel, Max! =) \m/

I just got welcomed to Earth. I knew about 7 string guitars, but not 8. So, hello Earth!

[@silentwhisperstudios7808]

I've always just played a 6 string myself. I have only ever owed & played one 7 string. A Chris Garza signature by Schecter. Same with an 8 string guitar. It was a Agile Interseptor ( I think it was that model ) I had each guitar for a few months. And got rid of them... For me being a lefty , I never have had a chance to play others. At some point I'd like to. Play one by Schecter again , also Ibanez , esp. Find one that is the best for me.

[@AtTheSourceStudios]

Max how come you use the ID Core when you have a TVP behind you? Jw

The lower wattage amp is easier for me to record with.

Sick Akira shirt, and I need some help, I'm planning on either getting a 7 string or an 8 string, but I can't decide

[@brianw.359]

Wondering about some clean chord sounds? I see 9 and even ten string guitars out there, where the fattest strings are as fat as the fatter ones on my four string bass. This is really tempting to try.

[@jesusalmaraz341]

I used to own a 7- string demon by schecter wasnt a bad guitar but could've done better on the pickups. Ended up trading it in for a 7- string Fernandes which was like an upgrade. But would so get this 8 string.

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

Massive!

[@orenom6704]

I own one (black burst), its the best 8 string in the price range. I play death/black metal, its not just for djent. Its too dark sounding to be for djent. Thanks to the mahagony body.

[@jxnjxn7481]

You should play the nine string next

[@HearthVader]

God dammit I want an 8 string again.
