Schecter Hellraiser C-7 Left-Handed Electric Guitar Black Cherry
Description
Schecter Hellraiser C-7 Left-Handed Electric Guitar in Black Cherry
The Hellraiser C-7 left-handed model sits in the hands with a silky-smooth, fast-playing thin C-shaped neck and rosewood fretboard that invites rapid passages and intricate soloing. The seven-string configuration anchors heavy riffs with a deeper, more resonant low end that commands authority on stage, while the mahogany body and set neck construction sustain warm, rich tones with excellent harmonic response across the register. This instrument performs across metal contexts and expressive playing with equal conviction.
Playability & Feel
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 delivers fast, responsive feel for both speed work and comfortable extended playing sessions, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter locking tuners lock in stable intonation and tuning retention between sets.
Tone & Electronics
Active EMG 57-7 bridge and EMG 66-7 neck pickups cut through any mix with high-output, articulate presence and clarity. Dual push-pull volume controls, a tone control, and three-way switch shape the aggressive, punchy character these pickups deliver, while the TonePros 7-String TOM bridge with string-thru body locks down sustain and resonance for reliable performance night after night.

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.
