Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilt maple top and set-neck construction lends weight and sustain to a voice driven by the active EMG 57 humbucker at the bridge, giving tight, high-output distortion with clear note separation for fast riffing and chugging. The 25.5" scale and ebony fingerboard add snap and attack, while the Sustainiac neck pickup opens up infinite feedback swells and singing sustained leads. With a Floyd Rose 1500 for dive bombs and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 12"–16" compound radius, it's aimed squarely at metal, hard rock, and other high-gain lead-heavy playing.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pickup configuration does this guitar have?
The Hellraiser Hybrid features an EMG 57 active humbucker in the bridge position and a Sustainiac neck pickup, controlled via dedicated volume, tone, intensity, and 3-way pickup selector with a 2-way Sustainiac on-off switch for feedback sustain effects.
Is the neck comfortable for extended playing sessions?
Yes. The ultra-thin C-profile neck combined with set-neck construction and ultra-access upper-fret playability reduces fatigue, while the 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists warping and maintains structural integrity over time.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
This instrument is engineered for metal, hard rock, djent, and progressive music. Its high-output electronics, aggressive sustain, feedback capabilities, and tight articulation make it less ideal for jazz, blues, or folk applications.
How does the Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo perform?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series includes locking hardware for floating-bridge tuning stability and enables dive-bomb and whammy effects while maintaining reliable pitch lock during demanding live or studio use.
What are the key specifications for fret and fingerboard work?
The ebony fingerboard features 24 X-Jumbo frets with a 12-inch to 16-inch compound radius, enabling smooth legato play and aggressive bending across the entire range, while a 25.5-inch scale length provides standard tuning stability.
