Schecter Hellraiser C-7 Electric Guitar in Black Cherry
The Hellraiser C-7 is engineered to capture aggressive, articulate tones across extended-range tunings with its slim Thin 'C' neck profile and 26.5" scale optimized for seven-string setups. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access enables tracking through all 24 frets without reach compromise, while the Quilted Maple top and Black Cherry finish with abalone binding provide visual clarity on camera and in session work. Built for producers and engineers tracking modern metal, progressive, and tuned-down material.
Playability & Recording Response
The Thin 'C' neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, paired with a 16" fretboard radius that keeps intonation tight across all positions during tracking. 24 X-Jumbo frets on rosewood produce clear, sustained articulation ideal for precision overdubs and layered parts, while Schecter Locking tuners and the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut maintain pitch stability through long sessions and multiple takes.
Tone & Signal Path
Dual EMG 707TW active pickups deliver the high-output, controlled response needed for extended-range recording—capturing definition in dense mixes without muddiness. The 9-volt clip-in battery compartment provides consistent powered operation session after session. The TonePros 7-String TOM bridge with string-thru-body design maximizes sustain and tonal separation across all seven strings, sitting clearly in the mix.
