What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?

B-Stock means this Hellraiser is fully functional and unplayed, with only minor cosmetic imperfections typical of warehouse stock. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.

Is this guitar suitable for metal and djent?

Yes. The active EMG 81 bridge pickup, Sustainiac neck pickup system with harmonic modes, Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo, and set-neck construction make it purpose-built for metal, hard rock, progressive, and djent styles that demand aggressive articulation and tuning stability.

How comfortable is the neck for fast playing?

The thin 'C' profile (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th) balances comfort with speed, and the Ultra Access cutaway design provides unrestricted access to the highest frets without sacrificing sustain or body resonance—ideal for rapid position shifts and extended passages.

Does it come with a Floyd Rose tremolo?

Yes, it features a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo with a 1.625" Floyd Rose nut, designed to maintain tuning stability during aggressive bending, divebombs, and whammy bar work typical of metal performance.

Do I pay sales tax on this order?

Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.

Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR Recording Guitar

Q: What pickups are included and how do I control them?

The bridge features an active EMG 81 humbucker for aggressive articulation, and the neck uses a Sustainiac pickup with dedicated Intensity and Mode switches (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) to shape sustain and harmonic character. Both are powered by a double 9-volt clip-in battery compartment.

Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR S Electric Guitar Black Cherry B-Stock

This unplayed B-stock Hellraiser C-1 FR S delivers a fast, comfortable neck profile with its thin 'C' shape and 25.5" scale, enabling rapid position shifts and extended passages in the studio. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access provides excellent upper-fret playability while maintaining the resonant sustain that mahogany bodies are known for, making it an excellent choice for layered guitar tracking and harmonic textures. Minor cosmetic blemishes typical of B-stock inventory do not affect functionality or tonal characteristics.

Playability & Recording Capability

The 3-piece mahogany neck with Thin 'C' profile (measuring .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th) balances comfort with speed across the rosewood fretboard fitted with 24 X-Jumbo frets. Set-neck joinery combined with Ultra Access cutaway design enables unrestricted access to the highest positions without sacrificing sustain or body resonance—critical for capturing clean high-register takes and sustain-heavy passages in a home-studio environment.

Tone & Session Versatility

The active EMG 81 bridge pickup paired with a Sustainiac® neck pickup produces aggressive high-end articulation and infinite sustain capabilities controlled via dedicated Intensity and Mode switches (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic), allowing flexible texturing across rhythm and lead parts. A double 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the onboard electronics, while the Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo with 1.625" Floyd Rose nut maintains tuning stability during intense tracking sessions and dive-bomb effects.
