Frequently asked questions
Which suits drop tunings better?
The Hellraiser C-7 FR is purpose-built for drop tunings with its 26.5" extended scale and tight EMG 707TW pickups designed for extended-range applications. The Reaper-6 FR S at 25.5" can handle drops but is optimized for standard and half-step tunings.
Which is better for lead solos and effects?
The Reaper-6 FR S excels here thanks to its Sustainiac neck pickup with three harmonic modes (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic), enabling infinite sustain, feedback control, and synthesis—unavailable on the Hellraiser. The Reaper also has an ultra-thin neck for rapid position shifts.
What's the playability difference in the neck?
The Reaper-6 FR S has an Ultra Thin 'C' at .748" first fret versus the Hellraiser's Thin 'C' at .787", making the Reaper noticeably thinner. The Reaper also uses a 14" radius for flatter feel; the Hellraiser's 16" radius is slightly more curved, suiting different hand techniques.
Which pickup system is more aggressive?
The Hellraiser's dual EMG 707TW active pickups are voiced for tight, controlled aggression with extended-range clarity and consistent output via battery power. The Reaper's Diamond Decimator bridge plus Sustainiac offers high-output articulation but prioritizes tonal experimentation over traditional aggression.
