Description
Schecter Hellraiser C-7 FR Electric Guitar Black Cherry
The Hellraiser C-7 FR is built for seven-string players who need a neck that disappears in your hands and a platform that locks in tuning night after night. The thin 'C' neck profile and extended 26.5" scale deliver the speed and reach you need for extended-range work, while the set-neck construction with ultra access keeps body resonance alive without boxing you out of the higher frets. Solid mahogany with a quilted maple top strikes the balance between lightweight playability and sustained tone for long gigs.
Playability & Construction
The three-piece mahogany neck sits light in your grip with its thin 'C' profile (.787" at the first fret, .866" at the 12th) across the full 26.5" scale. Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard (16" radius, abalone gothic cross inlays) let you dial in comfortable action and move quickly through the upper register. Set-neck construction with ultra access design means you're never fighting the body when you're up past the 20th fret—this is a guitar that gets out of the way.
Electronics & Hardware
A pair of EMG 707TW active humbuckers with coil-splitting gives you the punch for aggressive tunings and the articulation for cleaner tones without switching instruments. The Floyd Rose Original tremolo paired with the locking nut and Floyd Rose nut (1.874" width) keeps your tuning solid through a full set—critical for extended-range seven-string work. Black chrome hardware and metal knurled controls are built to take the wear and tear of the road.
