S-1 Custom vs previous S-1 model neck

[Justin Mabe]

I like a 22 fret neck on a 24-3/4" which is why the S-1 gets my attention. But like I said earlier, after playing the "medium" frets I've re-adjusted my SCHECTER lust list. The Extra Jumbo Fret spec is a standard requirement for me for any future SCHECTER. I'm not paying $699 for an S-1 & then another $200 to re-fret it. Another standard requirement for me: the straight string headstock as on the C-1 Std for example. My 2009 Tempest Custom binds on the G string frequently, as many 3-per-side headstocks without a straight string angle are prone to do. So it looks like the Hellraiser C-1, Hellraiser Extreme C-1, & Hellraiser Special C-1 are my choices now. I hope these are all KOREAN made!!

There are a few guys here who have a Hellraiser C-1, they can tell you what they think. My C-1 XXX was made in South Korea if that makes you feel any better.


So Woodshed, you going to put an Avatar and Signature up any time soon?????

Both of my hellraisers are south korean made, and perfect in every way. One is a 2008 model, the other is 2007.
