Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top and set-neck construction lends a thick midrange and long sustain, while the 26.5" scale and string-thru Hipshot hardtail keep the low seventh string tight and defined in drop tunings. EMG 57-7 and 66-7 active humbuckers push a high-output, articulate voice — the bridge cutting through dense distortion for riffing and leads, the neck offering warmer, rounder tones for cleans and melodic passages, with independent volume controls for blending the two. Ebony fretboard and X-Jumbo frets add attack and clarity, making it a natural fit for modern metal, progressive, and extended-range rhythm work.
Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 Electric Guitar Trans Black Burst
This Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 is built for serious recording and production work, delivering extended-range versatility with its ultra-thin "C" profile neck and 26.5" extended scale. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access enables full harmonic resonance while maintaining practical upper-fret access for layered tracking sessions. The Trans Black Burst finish shows honest wear consistent with professional studio use. All hardware functions perfectly, frets remain in normal playing condition, and the instrument exhibits no structural issues.
Recording & Playability
The 3-piece maple neck paired with a 12"-16" compound radius fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets captures consistent articulation across string-bending passages and single-note lines. Ebony fretboard combined with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.889" width) ensures clean tracking and harmonic clarity in drop-tuning sessions, while the Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru body design and Schecter locking tuners lock intonation—essential for maintaining tuning stability across aggressive layered takes.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 57-7 bridge pickup and EMG 66-7 neck pickup configuration captures articulate attack and harmonic complexity across the extended range, with independent volume controls enabling fast blending between pickups during overdub work. The active electronics run on a standard 9-volt clip-in battery, and the Volume/Volume/Tone/3-Way Switch layout allows immediate on-the-fly tonal shaping without breaking tracking momentum.

What pickups are installed and can I blend them?
The guitar ships with an EMG 57-7 (bridge) and EMG 66-7 (neck) active humbuckers. Independent volume controls for each pickup allow you to blend them freely during play without touching tone controls, and the active electronics run on a standard 9-volt clip-in battery.

The ultra-thin C-profile neck measures 0.748 inches at the first fret and 0.787 inches at the 12th fret, providing comfort during extended sessions. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access ensures both tonal resonance and practical upper-fret reach without sacrificing playability.
