Schecter Hellraiser C-7 Electric Guitar in Black Cherry
The Hellraiser C-7 sits perfectly in the hands of seven-string players who demand speed and precision across the entire neck. The slim Thin 'C' neck profile and extended 26.5" scale are engineered specifically for seven-string tuning, providing the proper string tension and response you need on stage. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access gets you to all 24 frets without interruption, while the Quilted Maple top and Black Cherry finish with abalone binding command attention under the lights—a guitar that looks as aggressive as it plays.
Playability & Feel
The Thin 'C' neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, paired with a 16" fretboard radius that locks in articulation whether you're shredding complex passages or dialing in palm-muted riffs across all positions. 24 X-Jumbo frets on rosewood respond with clarity and sustain under heavy picking, while Schecter Locking tuners and the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut keep you in tune through the most intense live sets.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 707TW active pickups cut through the mix with the high-output punch and articulation that modern seven-string music demands, backed by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment that delivers consistent powered performance night after night. The TonePros 7-String TOM bridge with string-thru-body design maximizes sustain and tonal definition across all seven strings, locking in the resonance you hear in the room and feel through your body.
