Description
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 on this guitar?
B-Stock indicates this unit is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections on the lower horn binding only—purely superficial marks that have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. All hardware, electronics, and wood work perfectly.
Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and heavy metal?
Yes. The 25.5-inch scale length, carbon-fiber-reinforced 3-piece maple neck, and Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo are all engineered for drop tunings, high-gain applications, and metal. The tight low end and sustain-focused EMG 57 bridge pickup make it ideal for djent and hard rock.
How does the neck feel during long playing sessions?
The ultra-thin C-profile neck and set-neck construction with ultra access reduce fatigue during extended sessions while maintaining stiffness and upper-fret playability. The 12-inch to 16-inch compound radius fingerboard supports smooth legato work and aggressive bending across the entire range.
What pickup configuration does this have?
The bridge features an EMG 57 brushed black chrome active humbucker, and the neck has a Sustainiac pickup. Both are powered by a dual 9-volt battery compartment, with a 2-way Sustainiac on-off switch and 3-way pickup selector giving you multiple tonal options.
Will this guitar stay in tune with the Floyd Rose tremolo?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo includes locking hardware designed for tuning stability and floating-bridge precision, allowing you to perform dive-bomb effects without losing tuning between songs or during extended recording sessions.
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.
