Schecter Hellraiser C-7 FR guitar in Black Cherry
Description
Schecter Hellraiser C-7 FR Electric Guitar Black Cherry
The Hellraiser C-7 FR is engineered as a tracking and composition tool for producers and engineers working with extended-range material. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 26.5" scale deliver the ergonomic precision needed for detailed performance capture and layering, while the set-neck construction with ultra access ensures stable sustain and resonance through multiple takes. The solid mahogany body with quilted maple top provides controlled harmonic character that records with clarity and definition across session hours.
Recording & Performance Design
Built with a three-piece mahogany neck in a thin 'C' profile (measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th), this instrument responds consistently across its 26.5" scale length for reliable tracking. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius rosewood fretboard with abalone gothic cross inlays enable fast, articulate single-note work and precision tracking, while the set-neck construction with ultra access design allows seamless reach to higher positions without compromising body resonance or sustain on tape.
Electronics & Tone Shaping
A pair of EMG 707TW active humbuckers with coil-splitting capability captures both aggressive articulation and nuanced tonal color, making them equally at home on heavy layers or textured, dynamic passages. The Floyd Rose Original tremolo with locking nut and Floyd Rose nut (1.874" width) maintains rock-solid intonation across extended recording sessions, while black chrome hardware and metal knurled controls with set screws provide the durability and repeatability required in professional studio work.
