Description
Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S Electric Guitar in Ultra Violet Finish
This Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S sits perfectly in your hands thanks to its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and set-neck construction with ultra access, letting you play for hours without fatigue. The striking Ultra Violet finish with black chrome hardware commands attention on stage while the neck-through design locks in sustain and resonance that cuts through the mix. Built for high-output electric playing, this instrument combines premium materials with professional-grade hardware that stands up to aggressive gigging and studio work.
Playability & Build Quality
The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods stays rock-solid under bending and dive-bombs while the ebony fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and 12"–16" compound radius lets you nail smooth legato runs and aggressive bends across the entire range. Mother of Pearl offset/reverse dots and glow-in-the-dark side markers keep you oriented in any stage lighting, and Grover tuners hold your tuning rock-solid through extended sets and wild tremolo work.
Electronics & Hardware
The EMG 57 active humbucker bridge pickup paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup delivers the aggressive high-output tone and feedback sustain that defines modern metal and hard rock, controlled via dedicated volume, tone, intensity, and 3-way pickup selector with 2-way Sustainiac on-off switch. A Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo with locking hardware provides dive-bomb effects and floating-bridge tuning stability that survives the toughest performance demands.
