Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 TBB

I was initially planning on buying another brand but thought I would try a Schecter instead.
I chose this because it looked really good, and it has the thinner neck profile.
The EMG 57/66 set is not my taste though, and they are really noise sensitive compared to the 81/85/60 models. I am planning to replace them, maybe with a set of Fishmans instead.

It came almost perfectly set up, and was tuned almost to pitch but in Bb not B.

On closer look the spring on the saddle on the B string was a bit too short which made the screw rattle when it was intonated. I fixed that by replacing the spring, but when looking closer the saddle is missing a little piece on the back of it. Nothing that affects playability but none the less its not cool when the guitar is this expensive.
I will probably write Thomann and make them aware of this.
Also the nut is not the same width as the neck, but its only half a millimeter and it doesn't affect anything.

The guitar is beautiful and it plays really well after minor trussrod adjustment and intonation which should be expected, even when it comes to more expensive guitars.

This one is a keeper though, its comfortable and I will choose this over other brands any day. Its made in Korea and it fully lives up to what I expected.

I just wanted to include the minor flaws I found, but these days with mass produced guitars you can do worse with more expensive guitars from other brands.

Thomann lowered the price after I bought it but they refunded the money they lowered it by in a few days.

Hellraiser Hybrid is a medium-high end line of Schecter guitars that combines features from both Hellraiser and SLS. Most notably, the neck profile is thin but not too thin, which in my case is exactly what I wanted. The list of specs is quite impressive: locking tuners, graphtec nut, EMG 57/66 pickups (my favorite EMGs) and Hipshot bridge.
These specs somewhat justify the 1100+ € price tag, but there are some minor inconveniences: while the finishing is good in general and mine arrived in perfect visual condition, the binding comes out just enough to be tactile around the 1st and 2nd frets which is a little bit annoying, and the fretwork is in general not quite as well finished as other guitars that are just a tad bit more expensive. For example, it is subpar compared to my Ibanez Prestige that costs a few hundred euros more but came with a hard case. Which reminds me that at this price range Schecter really should include at least a gig bag.
Don't get me wrong: the guitar is great, plays great, the EMG pickups are fantastic, it stays in tune, it feels solidly built and I am very happy with it. I also paid for a full Thomann setup service that included restringing, intonation and filing the nut to accommodate a higher gauge 7th string. The result is quite neat and the action nice and low but there *is* some buzz. As a side note this service did not include the price of new strings; it's only a few Euros but other stores (in my experience) restring for free with a new purchase.
Overall I am satisfied with the guitar, it has only minor issues that could (possibly) be fixed easily and Thomann was quick processing my custom order and delivering it. I would definitely recommend it since the stock specs are excellent and there is basically nothing else that compares at this price range or below.

Initially I wanted the 6 string version, but after 4 months and several problems, I opted for the 7 string which was avaliable immediatley. And boy am I glad I did. The guitar sounds and play amazingly, the neck is super smooth and seriously comfortable. The pickups are deliciously sensitive and make tapping and double tapping practically effortless. The guitar itself is sturdy and very well built. Top it all with absolutley gorgeous design, and you have an absolute beast of a guitar.
