Description
Schecter Hellraiser C-7 FR Left-Handed Electric Guitar Black Cherry
The Hellraiser C-7 FR is built for left-handed players serious about extended-range performance. Its Thin 'C' neck profile and 26.5" scale deliver fast, comfortable access across all positions, while set-neck construction with Ultra Access keeps intonation rock-solid and upper frets within reach. The quilted maple top over mahogany body in rich Black Cherry finish with abalone binding makes this a stage-ready instrument that looks as good as it plays.
Playability & Feel
This guitar sits naturally in your hands with neck measurements of .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret—the Thin 'C' profile lets you move through fast passages without fatigue. 24 X-Jumbo frets, a 16" fretboard radius, and a 1.874" nut width make seven-string technique intuitive, keeping string spacing comfortable for left-handed chord voicings and soloing alike.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 707TW pickups cut through live mixes with aggressive, articulate tones and punchy low-end definition—essential for extended-range work. The Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge with Floyd Rose nut locks in tuning night after night, enabling dive-bombs and whammy effects without drift, while the 9-volt clip-in battery compartment keeps the active electronics delivering consistent output and headroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Thin 'C' neck profile mean, and is it right for extended-range playing?
The Thin 'C' profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, balancing speed and comfort for rapid technique while maintaining enough mass for tuning stability on seven strings. The 16" fretboard radius and 1.874" nut width keep string spacing manageable for left-handed chord work and muting.
Does this guitar support drop tunings and heavy genres?
Yes. The 26.5" extended scale, Floyd Rose 1000 bridge with locking nut, and dual EMG 707TW active pickups are engineered for drop tunings, djent, and metal. The tight low end and articulate response handle aggressive playing without mud.
What's included with the guitar, and how does the battery system work?
The guitar ships fully assembled with Grover tuners, Floyd Rose nut and bridge, and metal hardware. The EMG pickups run on a 9-volt clip-in battery housed in the electronics compartment for consistent output and headroom.
How does the set-neck construction affect playability?
Set-neck construction provides stable intonation across the extended range. The Ultra Access upper-fret design on this left-handed model facilitates navigation to the 24th fret without hindrance.
Is this comparable to other left-handed seven-strings, and what makes it stand out?
It competes with models like the Ibanez RGIF7 and Jackson USA Series 7. The Hellraiser's quilted maple top, abalone binding, Thin 'C' neck, and Floyd Rose 1000 bridge make it a visually striking, hardware-rich choice for left-handed players demanding both aesthetics and performance.
