Description
Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR S Guitar Black Cherry B-Stock
This unplayed B-stock Hellraiser C-1 FR-S delivers the aggression and precision demanded by modern metal players in a package that feels balanced and controlled in hand. The thin 'C' neck profile and 25.5" scale provide a comfortable, familiar platform for fast work, while the Floyd Rose tremolo and EMG 81 bridge pickup pairing ensures articulate, tight tone with rock-solid tuning stability. Minor cosmetic wear—a dull spot on the fretboard binding clear coat—makes this an excellent value on a guitar that performs like new.
Playability & Construction
The set-neck mahogany construction with Ultra Access and arched quilted maple top create a solid, resonant platform with excellent upper-fret access. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius paired with the thin 'C' neck profile (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th) accommodates both rapid lead playing and aggressive chord work without fatigue, while the abalone Gothic cross inlays and abalone binding with black/white/black multi-ply deliver visual presence befitting the Hellraiser lineage.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup creates a dynamic range from searing leads to harmonic-rich sustain, while the Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo with Floyd Rose nut maintains tuning stability through aggressive playing. The double 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active electronics reliably, and metal knurled knobs with set screws resist accidental adjustment during performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will it affect my playing?
B-Stock indicates this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, a dull spot on the fretboard binding clear coat. It has zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity and comes with complete manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and drop tunings?
Yes. The 25.5" scale, tight EMG 81 bridge pickup, Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo with locking nut, and set-neck construction are purpose-built for metal, thrash, progressive, and drop-tuned styles. The thin 'C' neck profile also accommodates rapid lead work and aggressive chord playing.
What pickups does it have, and can I switch them?
It ships with an EMG 81 bridge pickup (high-output, articulate for leads) and a Sustainiac neck pickup (harmonic-rich sustain). Both are active pickups powered by a dual 9-volt battery compartment; other EMG models can be substituted if needed.
Will the Floyd Rose tremolo stay in tune during aggressive playing?
Yes. The Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo paired with a Floyd Rose locking nut is designed for tuning stability through heavy use. Metal knurled knobs with set screws also prevent accidental adjustment during performance.
What is the neck profile, and is it comfortable for long sessions?
The thin 'C' profile measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, providing a fast, comfortable platform for both rapid lead playing and aggressive chord work. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius with Ultra Access upper-fret access reduce fatigue across extended sessions.
