Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for djent and aggressive metalcore?
The Hellraiser C-1 FR S is purpose-built for djent, with its active EMG 81 bridge pickup delivering aggressive high-end articulation, Sustainiac harmonic control, and Floyd Rose tremolo for extended techniques. The C-1 SLS Custom excels at progressive metal but prioritizes balanced sustain over extreme aggression.
What's the main construction difference?
The C-1 SLS Custom uses neck-thru construction, which maximizes sustain and resonance by running the neck through the body. The Hellraiser C-1 FR S uses set-neck construction, which is lighter and allows room for the Floyd Rose tremolo cavity.
Will tuning stability differ between these two?
The C-1 SLS Custom with its hardtail Hipshot bridge offers superior tuning stability and zero tuning drift during aggressive play. The Hellraiser's Floyd Rose tremolo is excellent for creative effects but requires more maintenance and skill to keep perfectly in tune.
Are the pickups passive or active, and what's the tonal difference?
The C-1 SLS Custom uses passive Fishman Fluence pickups with warm neck and aggressive bridge voicing, requiring no batteries. The Hellraiser uses active EMG electronics powered by dual 9-volt batteries, delivering higher output, faster response, and harmonic-shaping capabilities via Mode switches.
