Schecter Hellraiser C-8 FR Electric Guitar, Black Cherry

Full Description

Mahogany Body with an Arched Top

Schecter's Hellraiser is a well-balanced guitar from aggressive crunchy sounds to rich, clean tones, perfect for the modern day player. The Quilted Maple top provides a great resonance, enhancing the natural tones of the body wood, whilst the Maples figuring provides a stylish and unique look. The Mahogany body offers naturally warm tones, with a touch of bite for creating tights lows and appealing highs. With Abalone binding, black chrome hardware, and a Floyd Rose bridge, the Hellraiser is given a black cherry finish to create a stunning guitar that reflects the tones it can produce.

Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard

The 3-piece Mahogany neck and Rosewood fingerboard has been designed with a thin "C" shape for a smooth, fast play, whilst the naturally oily Rosewood fingerboard absorbs stray overtones for a rich sound. The neck is designed with carbon fiber reinforcement rods to ensure the neck stays stable, and reduces any strain from the strings. The Mahogany/Rosewood combination produces warm, mellow tones with complex highs, thick, creamy lows, and an appealing midrange. It also comes with many other features including Grover machine heads and Gothic cross inlays on the fingerboard.

EMG Pickups

The Hellraiser features a set of EMG 808 humbuckers, based on the EMG 707 humbucker, to deliver powerfully heavy tones. The humbuckers feature alnico V loaded, wide aperture coils that beef up the lower strings, eliminating a muddy F# string for a tone that has plenty of clarity. The EMG 808 offers the presence and dynamics that an 8 string guitar requires, and provides a tight, responsive sound that can articulate every note played.

Floyd Rose Special Tremolo

Floyd Rose are one of the leading manufacturers of guitar bridges, using top of the range design techniques to craft outstanding quality parts. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years, the Floyd Rose 1000 allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch to create unique sounds such as dive bombs. The bridge works in tangent with the locking nut for increase string stability and prevents the strings from detune after excessive bending.
