Sustainiac is touch sensitive

Product Rating Product Review Guitar players with a light touch will be able to enjoy 1mm action or a bit less. This multi-radius fretboard and neck shape is sized for small/medium hands at the nut to medium at the body...a really, really, fast strat shape. Flawless, slick, stainless steel frets. A real Floyd Rose...still as good as it gets. The Sustainiac is a touch sensitivity trainer. The Sustainiac neck pickup offers balanced clean tone and a wide overdrive palette for inspirational rhythm and solo tones...I can't overstate the importance of adjusting pickup height and angle to get the tone and sustain controll you want to hear. To my ears the bridge pickup nails that muscular PAF tone. The body color is ever changing as the viewer changes position. Different lighting reflects as different colors. If I lost this guitar, I would buy it again.

Great guitar

Product Review This thing is awesome. Very, very well made with immaculate QC. Also beautiful finish, and sounds great through pretty much any amp I have. Probably wouldn’t recommend for blues players, but if you play in a heavy genre this thing absolutely rocks. Incredible sustain without even engaging the sustainiac neck pickup, and absolutely absurd amounts when you do. An amazing guitar for metal and hard rock.

Product Review The finish is awesome. Ultraviolet is oversimplified. It gives a chameleon effect and gives a glow of blue, violet, green and gold depending how the light hits it. Definitely will get noticed. The Sustainiac was something I was not familiar with, but the sounds you get are incredible and throw in some effects pedals, WOW! I'm going to have some serious fun with this guitar!

Product Review The Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C1FRS...What an Amazing Axe! Allow me to begin with the Sustainiac Pup. WOW! I've spent 30 years chasing Tone. I believe that most of us Advanced Players have been doing the "Tone" dance for years. In my opinion the search is over. No need for an aftermarket Pick Up, or an Upgraded Tremolo. This guitar has it all. Imagine for a moment "Endless"... Sustain...Huh?...Yup! Endless! With Pick Up Tones you can dial in with just an onboard knob? That is Correct! The flip-flop Purple/Blue Sparkle finish are what Dreams are made of. The stock photos do this guitar no Justice at all. The fretboard is Slick & Quick. It has Cool "Glow In The Dark" Fret Markers W/ High Quality Tuners. I picked up this Beast 2 weeks ago. And, I can't put it down. There is Not One thing that I dislike about this Axe. The Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C1FRS has arrived for All of You Metal Monsters! Pick one up ASAP! You'll be Blown Away...

Product Review Fit to finish this is an incredible instrument! One of the most comfortable guitars to play! I play a lot of rock/metal and doing fast scales on the neck seems effortless! Great tone from the EMG pickup and do to the Sustainiac, I can hold notes for days! Highly recommended!

Product Review I been playing guitar for 45 years. I decided to buy a schector hybrid and little did I know about guitars til I got my hands on this one. The way it feels is a delight because it is light and fits you like a glove. It's nicely balanced. Let's you play at ease without re-adjusting and helping it stay in position to play. The neck is awesome and thin for lightning fast leads. I like the sustanac pick up that will hold pitch for as long as desired. I cannot forget to mention the color shift finish that never bores me. Shecter has created a monster and master piece with this axe. It will do it all. Don't take my word for it. Go try one today. I hardly give good reviews for anything but i have to say shecter has earned it this time.This is the only guitar I need. Just maybe it will be the only one you need also.

Product Review I bought this Schecter because of the Sustainiac pickup and the Ultra Violet color. The guitar plays good right out of the box but I made a few adjustments and it plays even better now. The sustain from the sustainiac is just great. It will do things my other guitars just can’t do. There is a learning curve to using the sustainiac and the whammy bar but I’m getting better with it. This Hellraiser FRS is now my go to guitar. I have a 1980 Fender Lead III that was my go to but this one is just as great if not better. Thanks AMS! I loved dealing with you and will again!

Product Review The guitar is probably the most comfortable guitar I have ever played. It was delivered pretty quick. The Floyd rose bar had some issues, but they replaced it as soon as I contacted them. I highly recommend this guitar.

Product Review This is a very well built guitar for the money. The UV finish is amazing. Pictures don't really give you a good idea of how awesome it looks in person. The carbon fiber binding on the body and neck is a nice touch. I love the ultra thin C neck... so smooth playing with the ebony fretboard and satin finish on the neck back. For anyone trying to decide between (Sustainiac) vs the EMG 66 (neck), I had the EMG 57/66 version first, but returned it (bad volume pot). The EMG 66 is a very clear sounding pickup and I did like it, but ultimately the Sustainiac when used as a neck pickup sounds nice as well. Not as clear and articulate, more of a fat single coil sound. I think the benefit of having the Sustainiac outweighs the clearer sounding EMG 66. I don't own a proper guitar amp and usually play through my computer, nice having the Sustainiac to get that harmonic feedback that would usually take a large amp cranked up. I don't think you can really go wrong this guitar.

Product Review First of all do not judge this guitar by the pictures. It has one of the most beautiful finishes I have ever seen. It goes from blue metallic to purple metallic depending on how light hits it. It is simply gorgeous. I'm not an active pickup guy but EMG made the 57 sound like a sweet passive PAF style pickup. It doesn't sound sterile and compressed like the EMG 81. And the Sustainiac pickup is absolutely incredible. It's like having an Ebow built into your guitar which frees up your picking hand to wreak havoc with the whammy bar. The Sustainiac has a "blend mode" switch that makes chords & notes slowly morph into a harmonic that will make the hair on your arms stand up. Another reviewer commented that the battery for his Sustainiac died after an hour. I have played with mine switched on for about 20 hours so far and it is still going strong. Just don't leave the cable plugged in when you are not using the guitar because it will drain the batteries.

Product Review I only gave 4 stars out of 5 because the Sustainiac Drive (not to be confused with the active pickup, since the Sustainiac, and the active pickup use their own battery), drains a 9 volts battery in less than 1 hour. For the rest, this thing is just AMAZING! I own another 5 guitars that are way more expensive than the Hellraiser Hybrid, but I can say without any doubt that my Hellraiser Hybrid is the one with the best sound.
