Description
Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S Electric Guitar in Ultra Violet Finish
This Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S excels in the studio as a high-output recording platform, thanks to its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and set-neck construction with ultra access that keep hand fatigue minimal during long tracking sessions. The Ultra Violet finish with black chrome hardware and neck-through design promotes sustain and resonance—critical for capturing thick, articulate tones that sit decisively in dense mixes. Built for aggressive gain textures and modern production demands, this instrument pairs premium materials with professional-grade hardware engineered for studio tracking.
Playability & Build Quality
The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists seasonal shifts and warping, maintaining structural integrity across recording sessions, while the ebony fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and 12"–16" compound radius allows both smooth legato passages and aggressive bending with precision across the entire range. Mother of Pearl offset/reverse dots and glow-in-the-dark side markers enable fast, accurate position reference in studio lighting, and Grover tuners lock in reliable tuning stability for consistent takes.
Electronics & Hardware
The EMG 57 active humbucker bridge pickup paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup captures aggressive, high-output tones with controllable feedback sustain—essential for modern metal and hard rock production. Dedicated volume, tone, intensity, and 3-way pickup selector with 2-way Sustainiac on-off switch allow dynamic tonal shaping within a single take. A Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo with locking hardware delivers dive-bomb effects and floating-bridge tuning stability for expressive tracking and experimental textures.
