Goddamn they got some sweet hellraiser V's with floyd rose (page 26).
They introduced even the EMG 89 on some of the models!!! hell yes!
Yes they have done a tons of new designs, I love them all, besides few ones I don't like, the rest is great!

I'm a bit disappointed ... I hoped for a blackjack ATX Tempest.
I would have bought the vintage white model in a split-second

Well, the sunburst Tempest classic is rad, too

And hell, look at that custom spalted maple Tempest on one of the last pages ... sexyyyyy ...

 

[Torniojaws]

Mmm, that Hellraiser V-1 FR does look intriguing. I've been GASing a 6-string EMG guitar that I'd drop down to C# or C.

 

[Ericlingus]

I think it's awesome that they are using the new emg 81tw with an 89. Schecter really offers a lot for not that much money.

OMFG I want the white HellRaiser C7.

[Torniojaws]

I don't think it will be white for long

 

[kaomao]

what's the emg 81tw? is it a new special edition?

 

[aberration]

Their V = failure.

I take it back...the first V in the catalog looks like dog shit. The V-1 looks sexy as hell!

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Gross don't like either V.

 

[006]

The idea of their V's are cool, I like the binding and hardware...but the body shape is nothing great. I'd rather have the Jackson shape...

But that friggin HellRaiser C7...oh man...I've got some GAS. I miss my old black one.

Yeah what the hells a 81tw??

Looks like the new Amott Ninja might have to step aside on my want list...

 

[Wild Hades]

Isn't the splittable model of the standard 81?

Yep, sure is. I think the TW stands for like Triple Wound or something...there are basically "3" coils in the same unit, a humbucker and a single coil. I never thought they'd actually do it (a splittable hummer)...now I love EMG's even more than I already did. And now, incidentally, I want the new HellRaiser even more.

[Jaymz]

Awesome! Ive always wanted that single coil neck solo'ing tone but havent dared spend out on a guitar with one, problem solved!!

 

[Metaltastic]

Gaahhh - everything in there either looks like a totally generic super strat or an atrociously ugly design mistake (Devil, Damien V, Tempest, etc.) The only one I like that's unique is the 006, but it's basswood...

EDIT: I do see that the Hellraiser 006 is mahogany, and it looks awesome - but god forbid they offer a guitar in something other than red or black (or white). My allegiance is definitely still to ESP LTD for high-end Korean offerings.

 

[Jaymz]

The 00 series has pretty bad upper neck access for larger hands (the horn cuts right into your wrist), the C shape isnt amazing either but still, thats what puts me off the 006's.

Im having the V1FR in black ive already decided....

 

[Benny H]

I'd love to try a 30 inch hellcat.. tune it up a bit, jam along with some Meshuggaaaaah. Don't need 8 strings...

 

[Kazrog]

Some very cool guitars this year. In fact, I'd say it's the best lineup of any guitar company in 2008.

 

[TheVatican]

Schecter's trying to garnish some attention away from ESP and Michael Amott. Competition among companies = good for consumers. 2008 is going to be a good year for buying guitar equipment.

Yeah the v at page 19 is kinda scary, it looks so baaaaaaaddddddddd lol
Goddamn I love that hellraiser v at page 26
