Schecter Hellraiser Tempest Guitar

Rock guitars are usually pretty simple. Sure, there are those who insist on axes with scalloped fingerboards, seventh strings, and so forth, but, at the end of the day, a good piece of wood, a couple hot and tone-filled pickups, and a fast neck will get most rockers over the finish line. Schecter knows this and has based much of their line around this concept. One of their offerings that fits this bill is the Hellraiser Tempest.

The Tempest features a mahogany body with a maple top, a three-piece mahogany neck with 24 extra-jumbo frets and gothic cross position markers, and a scale length of 24 ¾ inches, which gives the Tempest a true old-school feel. Most rock players will feel pretty much at home with this set of appointments and will be able to use the Tempest to rock any house in the world.

Electronics on the Tempest continue on the rock-approved path with two EMG 81-TW and 89 active humbuckers, volume and tone controls for each, and a three-way selector switch. The hardware on this Hellraiser is all black chrome and includes a TonePros bridge, Schecter locking tuners, and a string-thru-body design rather than a traditional tailpiece. Savvy guitar buyers will see the Tempest as Schecter’s take on the venerable Les Paul design with updates that are popular with today’s players and a body shape that is a bit more rock and roll.

Those inspired by the great rock tones of days gone by as well as this years’ crop of heaviness would do well to check out a Tempest before making their next guitar buy, as this Schecter might be their new best friend. [Check For Price]
