A very popular style of heavy metal guitar these days is the Schecter Hellraiser C 1. The Hellraiser series of guitars is designed with high output in mind and quick, easy navigation of the fretboard. If you’ve been struggling to find the right guitar for your demanding playing style then please read on!
The Schecter Hellraiser comes standard with EMG pickups, which are designed to output a high amount of gain before the tone hits the amp. Many heavy metal guitarists have switched over to this style of active pickups in this day and age. Another standard feature on the Schecter Hellraiser C 1 guitar is the slim mahogany neck that many are touting as one of the fastest on any guitar made today. Schecter has designed a great set of locking tuners that come stock with all Hellraiser guitars; there’s nothing more reliable to keep your strings in tune under heavy demands.
If you like a strat shaped body, then the Schecter C 1 Hellraiser electric guitar will definitely satisfy that need. The perfectly cut out horns will let you play effortlessly at the top frets. The neck is a 24 fret style, which is great for double octave styles of playing. All Hellraisers come with rosewood fingerboards and 24 jumbo frets. The bodies on all the Schecter Hellraiser are made of mahogany and one model from each of the four Hellraiser styles (C, V, Solo and Avenger) comes with quilted maple for an added cap.
When guitar instruments lack the added punch for higher gain music, the guitarist will normally have to add various pedals to achieve the right levels. Right out of the box, the Hellraiser comes with high powered electronics that deliver a signature tone that won’t require a booster pedal to get into high distortion country. Pedals are still a great way to shape your tone but you’ll already have a great base tone with the Hellraiser.
All Schecters are made with top notch quality in the construction of the wood components as well as the electronics. Upon initial inspection of the guitar, all electronic parts were tight and solder joints clean and secure. The finish on the body was perfect and the reinforced neck was straight and twist-free. The weight of the guitar is perfectly balanced across the entire length and shouldn’t be an issue for extended playing periods.
The Schecter Hellraiser C 1 is only one of several models in the Hellraiser line that is an option for hard rock enthusiasts. If you like LP, V and modern look guitars, those are options for you as well.
