Its funny, less than a year ago I was struggling to play smoke on the water and not knowing what the hell a scale was. My playing sucked and I preferred my acoustic guitar because it didn’t suck.

While I still love all of my instruments my electric guitar has been getting my ire recently. Sheerly for the fact that its just not good enough. Its weird, I used to think it was this ultimate godly guitar that could take on anything.

That was until I realized the strings aren’t supposed to be 1 inch of the neck, go figure.

Now that I have a job, I now have the money, and now that I have the money the schecter hellraiser is in my sights. Its all mine, and nobody can stop me.

The second I stopped by guitar center and plugged it in to a line6 I knew it was perfect for me, the pickups, the finish, the tuning, the action, the everything. It was perfect. Even the guy who was trying to get me to buy it at the time said to me “I can’t help but be biased towards them”.

Even if he did slightly push me towards the hellraiser instead of a silverburst epiphone les paul re-issue (which is what I originally wanted :/) I saw why he wanted to.
But ironically what made me want the schecter so much is that I wouldn’t have to buy a new case, since its a strat design it would fit in my nice road runner case and I wouldn’t have to spend the money.

Stupid? Not really, the cost of a new case in addition to the silver burst would make the price almost even. at 690 (case and silverburst) vs the schecter (700 flat). So I thought it would be wise to go with the schecter.

Soon it will be mine, no question about it.
