    Product Description

    Since its introduction in 2006, our Hellraiser series has raised the bar on sight, sound, quality and affordability. Loaded with active EMG 81TW/89 pickups, Hellraiser guitars are as versatile as they are beautiful. Dual Mode “split” tone gives you ample room to dial in your tone all while looking fantastic. All the way from 6 to 9 string options…the Hellraiser series has something for everyone!

    From the Manufacturer

    Presenting the Hellraiser C-1 from Schecter Guitar Research

    Raise a Little Hell

    Schecter's Hellraiser C-1 lives up to its name. Not just because of its fiery red quilted maple top, but its screaming hot EMG active pickups, set mahogany neck, gothic cross inlays, and plenty more--perfect for veteran shredders and those about to rock.


    Features:

    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.

    Schecter Locking Tuners

    Schecter Locking Tuners feature a locking screw pin to lock the string into place for greater tuning stability. Details include a 19:1 gear ratio allowing for precise fine tuning adjustments, removable knobs, threaded peghead bushing, and a 10mm diameter peg hole.

    (View larger)
    Rosewood Finger Board

    The most common fretboard, Rosewood is naturally oily, and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The sound is richer in fundamental than Maple because the stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pores.

    EMG Active Pickups

    81TX: Dual-mode design allows for maximum flexibility, with the original 81 providing all the crunch and aggressiveness it's famous for and an all new single-coil that features a fatter tone with plenty of punch and clarity. Neck: The EMG 89 is loaded with alnico V magnets and has separate preamps each providing custom outputs for dual coil and single coil modes (R Version use REAR coil ). In dual coil mode, the sound is rich, warm and powerful, but still very clear and is similar to the 85.

    (View larger)
    3-Piece Mahogany Neck

    Made with 3 pieces of mahogany for extra stability. 3 piece necks can withstand the test of time. Where standard necks may show aging defects from temperature and moisture changes throughout the years, the 3 piece neck will stay nice and straight for a lifetime of playability.

    TonePros TOM w/Thru Body Bridge

    TonePros components complete your instrument! Your bridge and tailpiece will be locked down and will not move or "wiggle" at all. With this design, even play or movement in the threads is reduced so that when you adjust your action and intonation, it is set and solid. Which improves your sustain and tonal qualities, makes harmonics "jump" out of your guitar, and more stable tuning.

    Claims "new" but is definitely used.
    Low stars because guitar had clear signs of being played for quite a long time. Guitar came with no manual. That was the first red flag. Second, the neck smells like cat urine or something. And the last was the used 9v battery in the guitar.All the tags were in a bag with the Allen wrenches. As shown in the picture there are numerous areas along the neck that have a gouge like a fingernail or knife caused it. Also see the paint literally chipping of the neck nearest the frets.Next is the insane fret buzz on the E string. Part of me wants to keep it and get it fixed but they sold it as NEW. Was sold by instrument pro thru Amazon.EDIT: immediately after writing this review I decided to return and ordered a cherry hellraiser. Which is also labeled as new. Fingers crossed.EDIT #2: got the cherry red and it came new and perfect. These guitars must all ship with no manual and it had the same brand battery installed. The only thing I'd recommend is not installing the battery but leave it in the box when shipping.

    See pictures with how horrible of a condition this arrived in. Listed as used with damage to the back but did not mention the severe fracture lines in the neck and damage to front. Unacceptable description. Other than that the guitar looks great but is worthless due to neck damage.
