Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilt maple top and set-neck construction lends weight and sustain to a voice driven by the active EMG 57 humbucker at the bridge, giving tight, high-output distortion with clear note separation for fast riffing and chugging. The 25.5" scale and ebony fingerboard add snap and attack, while the Sustainiac neck pickup opens up infinite feedback swells and singing sustained leads. With a Floyd Rose 1500 for dive bombs and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 12"–16" compound radius, it's aimed squarely at metal, hard rock, and other high-gain lead-heavy playing.
Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S Electric Guitar in Ultra Violet Finish
This Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S tracks with precision and sits cleanly in dense mixes thanks to its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and set-neck construction with ultra access, enabling fast, fatigue-free tracking during marathon recording sessions. The striking Ultra Violet finish with black chrome hardware delivers aggressive character while the design promotes sustain and resonance for articulate, defined recordings. Built for high-output electric capture, this instrument combines premium materials with professional-grade hardware optimized for studio performance.
Tone & Structural Integrity
The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists warping while maintaining structural integrity for consistent tracking across take after take, while the ebony fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and 12"–16" compound radius captures smooth legato passages and aggressive bending with equal clarity across the entire range. Mother of Pearl offset/reverse dots with a Gothic cross at the 12th fret and glow-in-the-dark side markers provide precise visual reference in any studio lighting, and Grover tuners ensure reliable tuning stability for consistent intonation throughout recording sessions.
Electronics & Hardware
The EMG 57 active humbucker bridge pickup paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup delivers aggressive high-output tones with feedback sustain capabilities, controlled via dedicated volume, tone, intensity, and 3-way pickup selector with 2-way Sustainiac on-off switch and dual 9-volt battery compartment. A Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo with locking hardware provides expressive effects and floating-bridge tuning stability for both experimental textures and locked-in rhythmic parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect the guitar's playability or tone?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, finish paint on the lower horn binding. These marks are purely superficial and have absolutely zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suited for genres outside metal and hard rock?
This Hellraiser Hybrid is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, djent, and thrash metal in drop tunings. Its high-output active pickups, aggressive tone profile, and feedback-capable design are not optimized for jazz, blues, or folk playing styles.
What pickup combination does this guitar have, and what can it do?
It features an EMG 57 active humbucker in the bridge position and a Sustainiac neck pickup. The EMG 57 delivers high-output, aggressive tones with articulate highs and tight lows, while the Sustainiac enables controlled feedback and sustain effects via a dedicated on-off switch and intensity control.
How does the neck feel, and will it work for long practice or performance sessions?
The ultra-thin C-neck profile with a 3-piece maple neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods is designed to reduce fatigue during extended sessions. The 24 X-Jumbo frets and 12-inch to 16-inch compound radius support both smooth legato work and aggressive bending across the entire range.
What tremolo system does it use, and how stable is it for tuning?
It uses a Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo with locking hardware, providing dive-bomb effects and floating-bridge tuning stability suitable for aggressive playing and stage-heavy effects work.
