Product Description
The Schecter Hellraiser C-1 is an electric guitar that delivers tones guaranteed to satisfy any metal player. The Hellraiser's mahogany body has an ultra-access cutaway that really lets you get all the way up the 3-piece mahogany neck. The rosewood fretboard on the Hellraiser C-1 has 24 extra-jumbo frets and gothic cross inlays for an edgy look. Active EMG 81TW and 89 humbuckers deliver crushing electric guitar tone. Now you have more options that ever by activating single-coil sounds via push/pull volume knobs.TonePros Tune-o-matic-style bridge with string-thru-body design makes for stable tuning no matter how hard you play. Binding specifically chosen to complement the finish, Schecter locking tuners, and black chrome hardware round out the Schecter Hellraiser C-1's killer look. Black Cherry finish has a quilted maple top.

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

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.

5 out of 5 stars Personal Favorite   January 26, 2010
J. Olson
This, by far, is my favorite guitar that I have ever played. The neck is just the right size for my large-ish hands and it sounds absolutely great. The neck size is unique from most of the guitars I've played; slightly thick, but not as thick as a Les Paul. I would recommend that you try it out in your local music store before you place the order. My only gripe with this guitar is that it comes with EMG pickups, they sound kinda lifeless when compared to passive pickups. On the bright side, you can swap out the pickups pretty easily if you don't like em.
I purchased it back in 07 and I haven't had any problems with it, except for the third string tuner which goes a little flat sometimes. I called Schecter about this and they were quite helpful. Other than that, the construction is solid and can withstand gigging.





5 out of 5 stars The best metal guitar in its price range and beyond!   November 21, 2009

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!

5 out of 5 stars Most reliable instrument I ever bought   December 31, 2007

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 red finish still looks gorgeous!

I am so glad I took a chance on this guitar, it feels like no other import I have ever played and Schecter has done a great job with the Hellraiser series.
