Raise a Little Hell
The Hellraiser C-1 features a mahogany body to provide smooth, detailed sound. The quilted maple top adds a little more punch to the sound, and more than a little punch to the guitar's looks--it's a real knockout paired with the devilish transparent red finish and abalone binding.
If you're a fan of serious sustain, you'll appreciate the three-piece set mahogany neck. It's topped off by a speedy rosewood fretboard with 24 X-jumbo frets and wicked-looking "gothic cross" inlays.
EMG Active Pickups
The EMG-81TW in the bridge position gives you all the crunch and aggression of a standard 81 with a single-coil mode for a different sound. Dual internal preamps grant each mode its distinct sound while still providing EMG's well-known noise canceling technology.
Up by the neck, the EMG-89 also offers two pickups in one. Loaded with Alnico V magnets and featuring separate preamps for dual coil/single coil modes, these pickups will let you get a warm, powerful humbucker sound or a chimey single-coil strat sound.
Each pickup gets a volume knob with push/pull coil tap, and they share a tone knob. The 3-way switch lets you dial in a neck or bridge sound.
Graph Tech "Tusq" Nut
The precision Tusq nut is made with Graph Tech's "man made ivory," which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of your guitar. Play as hard as you want, bend a few steps, and your strings glide back into tune. The highly resonant material also means you'll get more richness and harmonics from every note.
Dependable Hardware
The TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design means even more sustain and harmonics, and when combined with Schecter's locking tuners, ultra-stable tuning no matter how hard you're rocking.

Schecter Hellraiser C-1 Electric Guitar (Black Cherry) Reviews
| 6 of 8 people found the following review helpful  Most reliable instrument I ever bought, By This review is from: Schecter Hellraiser C-1 Electric Guitar (Black Cherry) (Electronics) It was July of 2006, my band was about to play a show and my main guitar was falling questionably out of tune during songs at practice, so I went on a quest to get something new, that's when I stumbled across this guitar I knew nothing about, a c-1 Schecter Hellraiser. Mahogany body and neck with a carved maple top, nice arched fret board with a great feel to the neck, and powerful EMG pickups give this guitar an awesome punch. The 25.5 scale makes this PERFECT for detuning without any string flapping.My experiences with this guitar, I have nothing bad to say about the guitar, other than the fact that when I wasn't using it live in favor of another guitar, I paid dearly, but the second I plugged the Hellraiser in, not a bad show, not flying out of tune, just very dependable. A lot of people will frown on the Mahogany wood choice, but I've dropped this several times, (thrown once during a rock star temper tantrum) and the guitar keeps on ticking, and most importantly, the... Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Extremely fun to play!, By This review is from: Schecter Hellraiser C-1 Electric Guitar (Black Cherry) (Electronics) I firmly believe that buying a better/different/new guitar wont make you a better player; but, buying a guitar that makes playing and practicing more fun, most definitely will improve your playing ability!I shopped around for this exact guitar model online and offline, it had a combination of the electronics i wanted, with a body style that screams bad-ass, without looking goofy or akward. I had been wanting a Schecter for a while, and had been trying to decide between this model, and another near identical looking model that had different pickups (the Schecter Blackjack with Seymour Duncan AHB-1 Blackouts). In the end, those two guitars being identical in price, only difference being one has EMG's and one has SD's, i opted for this model because I wanted the somewhat compressed sound of the EMG's over the slightly more natural sounding blackouts. I didnt buy blindly, i played both models at my local Guitar Center, and bought the one that fit my... Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful The best metal guitar in its price range and beyond!, By This review is from: Schecter Hellraiser C-1 Electric Guitar (Black Cherry) (Electronics) Got this guitar after trying it out in a store, i must say, glad i did. I have been a musician for about 14yrs and this is the best sounding guitar for the money and beyond. Keep in mind, i have owned over 20+ guitars in the last 14 years: Ibanez, Schecter, Epiphone, Fender, PRS, Hamer, and the list goes on and on. This is the best one yet! Now keep in mind that its about what your using it for as well. Personally i think this guitar can smoke a $3000.00 PRS when it comes to playing metal with tight distortion (PRS's get kinda muddy i think), where as a fender with lace sensor single coils might be better suited if your looking for light jazz or blues. But lets face it... you don't buy a Porsche for soccer practice and you don't buy a Mini-van for racing. With a name like "Hellraiser" this is obviously bred for metal and hard rock! |
