Frequently asked questions
Which guitar has a tremolo system?
Only the Hellraiser C-1 FR features a Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge with tremolo capability. The C-7 uses a fixed Hipshot Hardtail bridge for maximum tuning stability without dive-bomb functionality.
What's the main difference in scale length and why does it matter?
The C-1 FR has a 25.5" scale while the C-7 has a 26.5" scale. The longer scale on the C-7 provides tighter, more articulate low-end on the added seventh string and improves intonation across extended range tunings.
Are the pickups different between these two models?
Yes—the C-1 FR uses EMG 81TW (bridge) and 89R (neck), while the C-7 uses EMG 57-7H (bridge) and 66-7H (neck). Both are high-output active EMGs, but the 7-string versions are specifically voiced for extended-range clarity.
Which neck is thinner and more comfortable?
The C-7 has the ultra-thin profile at .748" at the first fret versus the C-1 FR at .787". Both use thin 'C' profiles, but the C-7 measures slightly slimmer for reduced hand fatigue on longer sessions.
