Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and quilted maple top give the Hellraiser C-1 FR S a warm, sustaining foundation with added definition, while the EMG 81 bridge pickup delivers articulate, high-output aggression that stays tight under heavy gain. The Sustainiac neck pickup adds controllable infinite sustain and harmonic feedback, with Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes for swelling leads and singing notes at any volume. Paired with a 25.5" scale, Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo, and 24 X-Jumbo frets, it suits metal, heavy down-tuned riffing, and expressive dive-bomb-laden soloing.
Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR S – Black Cherry B-Stock
The Hellraiser C-1 FR S captures extended-range tracking with a thin, fast neck profile engineered for precision in the studio and live rig alike. Its set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway enables seamless upper-fret recording and overdub work, while the Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge and 25.5" scale lock in tight intonation across heavy tunings and dynamic session demands. This B-Stock unit carries full manufacturer specifications and warranty—any cosmetic variance is purely visual.
Build & Construction
Mahogany body with quilted maple top, three-piece mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard combine for resonant sustain and smooth playability in recorded takes. Abalone binding with black/white/black multi-ply detailing and abalone Gothic cross inlays define the Hellraiser aesthetic, while black chrome hardware maintains visual cohesion throughout.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup delivers articulate, high-output aggression ideal for cutting through dense mixes; the Sustainiac® neck pickup provides harmonic sustain and feedback capabilities controlled via dedicated intensity, on/off, and mode switches (Fundamental/Mix/Harmonic) for layered texture and atmospheric overdubs. Dual 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the Sustainiac system for extended tracking and rig flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect the guitar's sound or playability?
B-Stock means the unit is fully functional with full manufacturer warranty—any differences are cosmetic only. This specific guitar has minor white marks on the back, horns, bridge area, and pickup selector, plus a paint run-off at the headstock tip; none of these affect tone, sustain, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and djent styles?
Yes. The 25.5" scale, thin 'C' neck profile, Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, and EMG 81 bridge pickup are purpose-built for heavy tunings, aggressive play, and articulate high-gain tones typical of metal and djent. The Sustainiac® neck pickup adds harmonic feedback capabilities ideal for progressive and extreme styles.
What comes with the Sustainiac® system, and how does it work?
The Sustainiac® neck pickup includes dedicated Intensity, On/Off, and Mode controls (Fundamental/Mix/Harmonic) and is powered by a dual 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. Mode switching lets you shape feedback response from pure fundamental sustain to harmonic overtone generation.
How comfortable is upper-fret access on this guitar?
The Ultra Access cutaway combined with set-neck construction provides comfortable upper-fret access; the thin 'C' neck profile (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th fret) is optimized for speed and ergonomics on extended-range playing.
What pickup configuration does this guitar have?
The bridge pickup is an EMG 81 delivering high-output aggression and articulate cleans; the neck pickup is a Sustainiac® with harmonic sustain and feedback control via dedicated switches. Both are designed for heavy, responsive play across high-gain and dynamic situations.
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. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $84 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
