Looks fantastic. I'll definatly consider buying it eventually.

 

[JeffTD]

Wahhhh?! Why didn't anyone tell me we were supposed to turn our clocks to last week!?

Maple fretboard, no tone, one volume... no thanks.

Maple fretboard, no tone, one volume... no thanks.

I would like to add that it's a 7 string. I am sure this thing has "tone" just no tone knob.

Nothing wrong with maple, and simple isn't worse as far as controls go. It's obviously a guitar made for metal, and when I play metal I certainly don't use my tone knob. Everything at 11!

 

[MX582]

oh shit..someone hurry up and buy this and then tell me how it plays so i can consider getting one...

 

[Gnash]

Ouch! Maple fretboards are too twangy for me.uke: Those Hellraisers gve me a stiffy though!

 

[Where She Wept]

Awesome! Love the simple layout. just the bare necessities, volume + PU switch. Inlays are cool and The maple fingerboard is different. I was hoping for a mahagony body though, i'd like to hear how it sounds compared to my A7. Can't wait to try one.

 

[LSD-Studio]

nice!
i love maple fretboeards for their bright attack...
wanna have that axe..yammy,
just wish it had 1string less ;(

 

[poidaobi]

Lovely guitar!

no tone =

I always leave it on 10. To me when i turn it down the guitar just gets weaker and dry. So no need for tone knob.

 

[Nebulous]

Interesting. Definately not what I was expecting it to be. No tone knob is no big loss to me, I don't think i've ever turned it down intentionally on any of my guitars. I'd be quite interested in playing and hearing it. I've no experiance with the neck/ body woods, so I can't really comment on them.

does anyone ever actually USE a tone knob? seriously, clue me in because they seem completely useless to me

Back when I still had my crap Jackson stock pickup I used to turn the tone down a little bit in order to avoid feedback when playing live.

I could also imagine to turn it down a little bit in combination with a neck humbucker for a melodic solo.

No other uses in Metal that are obvious (at least to me). Nevertheless there's plenty of good stuff to do with the tone poti on a strat in more rockier stuff though...

I don't really like the maple fretboard.

I love the lack of 2nd volume and tone knob. They are the things that shit me most about the hellraiser. I've always got the knobs cranked... I like to keep my chain simple and do all the tone tweaking at the preamp stage of the amp, so to me those knobs are excess that I never use. They more commonly get in the way, when they accidentally get bumped to '0' and I can't work out why the tone sucks.

I'm curious as to what wood the entire thing is.

In all honesty, I was expecting a Hellraiser with a floyd... and would probably have been much happier seeing that.

 

[::XeS::]

For me it's waaaaaaay better a black hellraiser.
If this sig guitar was all black and fixed bridge...aaaaaah, wonderfull guitar!
I don't like at all the brown and the neck color.

Here nobody uses it, but Jazz/Funky/Blues players abuse the tone pot.

 

[kaomao]

Anyway I think Jeff went for the maple because of the dark sounding tone of the stock hellraiser, this kind of fretboard will give to the that axe a brighter sound.
Not bad if you think my c7 is the darkest sounding guitar I ever had... don't get me wrong I love the tone, but a little bit brighter, less fat would be great!

 

[Razorjack]

I'm going to try and get my store to order one of these in, I think the maple fretboard will add a lot of clarity in single notes I find the stock Hellraiser's lack.

I use it when I'm playing jazzy wimp music.
