It's a long time since Schecter Guitar Research first opened its doors back in 1976. Originally known for replacement parts, Schecter went on to be among the first real custom shops. Indeed, people of a certain age will remember the S- and T-styles wielded by the likes of Mark Knopfler and Pete Townshend back in the 1980s.
Now, under the direction of Michael Ciravolo, Schecter has been successfully mining a new creative seam in the US modern-rock movement for nearly two decades, with some superb six-, seven- and eight-string instruments. In 2012, a return to the company's Californian custom shop roots was also marked by the introduction of a new range of amplification that has just started to filter into Europe. Enter the Hellraiser, which we're looking at this month in its 2x12 combo format.
