Schecter Hellraiser C-7 LH guitar in Black Cherry
Description
Schecter Hellraiser C-7 Left-Handed Electric Guitar in Black Cherry
The Hellraiser C-7 left-handed model delivers a silky-smooth playing experience defined by its thin C-shaped neck and fast rosewood fretboard, making rapid passages and intricate soloing feel effortless. The seven-string configuration provides a deeper, more resonant low end that anchors heavy riffs with authority, while the mahogany body and set neck construction combine to produce warm, sustained tone with excellent harmonic richness. In the studio, this instrument captures articulate, punchy performances across metal, progressive, and genre-crossing sessions.
Playability & Recording Performance
The thin C-shaped neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, paired with a 16" fretboard radius and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 26.5" scale. This geometry enables both rapid, expressive take work and comfortable marathon tracking sessions, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter locking tuners deliver the tuning stability and intonation accuracy essential for layering and overdubbing.
Tone & Mix Character
Active EMG 57-7 bridge and EMG 66-7 neck pickups deliver high-output, articulate tones that cut through dense mixes with clarity and presence. Dual push-pull volume controls, a tone control, and three-way switch provide flexible shaping of the aggressive, punchy character these pickups are known for, while the TonePros 7-String TOM bridge with string-thru body anchors sustain and resonance for consistent take-to-take performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for someone learning seven-string for the first time?
This Hellraiser is rated for intermediate to advanced players and is optimized for metal, progressive, and djent styles. While the thin C-shaped neck and fast fretboard are forgiving for speed work, the instrument is tuned toward technical playing; a beginner might benefit from starting on a more foundational six-string or seven-string model.
What pickups are in this guitar and how do they sound?
The bridge uses an active EMG 57-7 and the neck has an active EMG 66-7, both high-output humbuckers known for articulate, punchy tone that cuts through a mix with clarity. Dual push-pull volume controls and a master tone control let you shape the aggressive character these pickups deliver.
What is the scale length and how does that affect playability?
This seven-string has a 26.5" scale length (673mm) with a 16" fretboard radius, paired with a thin C-shaped neck (.787" at the first fret). This geometry balances speed and comfort for extended sessions, making rapid passages feel responsive without sacrificing stability or intonation.
How does the left-handed configuration compare to a right-handed Hellraiser C-7?
This left-handed model features identical professional-grade hardware, electronics, set-neck construction, and TonePros 7-String TOM bridge with string-thru body as the right-handed version. All tone and playability characteristics remain the same; the only difference is the mirrored body and control layout.
What hardware and finish details come with this guitar?
The guitar features black chrome hardware throughout, Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut for stable intonation, Schecter locking tuners for reliable tuning retention, a quilted maple top on a mahogany body, and abalone binding with black/white/black multi-ply and gothic cross inlays.
