Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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.

Schecter Hellraiser C-1 Electric Guitar (Black Cherry)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 some hell. Click to enlarge. Shredder-friendly EMG active pickups. Schecter locking tuners. 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.
