Description
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.

The Trans Black Burst finish displays honest cosmetic wear consistent with professional gigging use, but the instrument has no damage that affects tone or playability.
Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and extended-range playing?
Yes—the 26.5" extended scale, ultra-thin C-profile neck, and Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru body design are specifically engineered for drop tunings and aggressive extended-range work. The Schecter locking tuners and robust hardware maintain tuning stability under the additional string tension.

The neck features 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 3-piece maple neck with an ultra-thin C profile (0.748" at the 1st fret, 0.787" at the 12th fret). The 12"-16" compound radius Ebony fretboard supports responsive action and smooth string bending across the entire fingerboard.
