Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR S Guitar Black Cherry B-Stock 1590
Description
Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR S Guitar Black Cherry B-Stock
This unplayed B-stock Hellraiser C-1 FR-S delivers the articulation and precision required for modern metal recording in a package that feels balanced and controlled under your hands. The thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale provide a comfortable, familiar platform for fast tracking work, while the Floyd Rose tremolo and EMG 81 bridge pickup pairing ensures tight, defined tone with rock-solid tuning stability across takes. Minor cosmetic wear—a dull spot on the fretboard binding clear coat—makes this an excellent value on a guitar that performs like new.
Playability & Construction
The set-neck mahogany construction with Ultra Access and arched quilted maple top create a solid, resonant platform with excellent upper-fret access for layered lead work and session flexibility. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius paired with the thin 'C' neck profile (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th) accommodates rapid tracking sessions and aggressive chord work without fatigue, while the abalone Gothic cross inlays and abalone binding with black/white/black multi-ply deliver visual presence befitting the Hellraiser lineage.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup creates a dynamic range from cutting lead tones to harmonic-rich sustain suited to overdub work, while the Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo with Floyd Rose nut maintains tuning stability through extended recording sessions. The double 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active electronics reliably across long sessions, and metal knurled knobs with set screws resist accidental adjustment during recording.
