Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top and set-neck construction lends a thick midrange and long sustain, while the 26.5" scale and string-thru Hipshot hardtail keep the low seventh string tight and defined in drop tunings. EMG 57-7 and 66-7 active humbuckers push a high-output, articulate voice — the bridge cutting through dense distortion for riffing and leads, the neck offering warmer, rounder tones for cleans and melodic passages, with independent volume controls for blending the two. Ebony fretboard and X-Jumbo frets add attack and clarity, making it a natural fit for modern metal, progressive, and extended-range rhythm work.
Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 Electric Guitar Trans Black Burst
The Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 sits perfectly in the hands during extended sessions, thanks to its ultra-thin "C" profile neck paired with a 26.5" extended scale built for drop tunings and aggressive extended-range work. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access locks in tonal resonance while keeping upper frets within reach, and the Trans Black Burst finish shows honest road wear from professional gigging. All hardware functions flawlessly, frets play true across the board, and the instrument carries no structural concerns.
Playability & Build
The 3-piece maple neck pairs with a 12"-16" compound radius fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets for responsive feel from open strings through the highest positions. Ebony fretboard combined with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.889" width) guarantees intonation clarity and sustain that stands up to aggressive playing, while the Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru body design and Schecter locking tuners lock your tuning solid—essential for drop tunings and live reliability.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 57-7 bridge pickup and EMG 66-7 neck pickup configuration bites hard and articulates clearly across the extended range, with independent volume controls letting you dial the perfect blend on the fly. Active electronics run on a standard 9-volt clip-in battery, and the straightforward Volume/Volume/Tone/3-Way Switch layout puts tonal control within immediate reach—no menu diving between songs.

What pickups are installed and can I blend them?
The guitar ships with an EMG 57-7 (bridge) and EMG 66-7 (neck) active humbuckers. Independent volume controls for each pickup allow you to blend them freely during play without touching tone controls, and the active electronics run on a standard 9-volt clip-in battery.

The ultra-thin C-profile neck measures 0.748 inches at the first fret and 0.787 inches at the 12th fret, providing comfort during extended sessions. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access ensures both tonal resonance and practical upper-fret reach without sacrificing playability.
