Frequently asked questions
What's the main hardware difference between these guitars?
The Hellraiser uses a Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-through-body design optimized for tight, modern tones. The Ultra-III uses a Bigsby B50 with TonePros TOM, which emphasizes sustain and resonance for jazz and blues.
Can I play jazz or blues on the Hellraiser?
The Hellraiser's high-output EMG pickups, aggressive tone shaping, and 7-string extended range make it poorly suited to jazz and blues; its design prioritizes djent and progressive metal articulation.
What's the scale length difference and why does it matter?
The Hellraiser is 26.5" (longer) for tighter low-end on 7 strings, while the Ultra-III is 24.75" (shorter) for smoother playability on 6 strings. Longer scales favor extended-range metal; shorter scales favor traditional blues and rock.
Are both guitars left-handed?
No. The Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 LH is explicitly left-handed. The Ultra-III is right-handed only.
