This guitar is great, very solid, stays in tune, looks good, is comfortable and always is ready to go.

My only complaint is the 81TW and 89 just don't seem to have the same punch as the regular 81 and 85. Maybe something to do with the coil tapping, but they sound a bit muddier. I changed to a regular 81/85 and it sounds AMAZING

The reason I got this guitar was because there was a super good deal. It was ready to go right out of the box, sounded great, the EMGs are awesome and you can switch between single coil and humbucking pickups, which ads plenty of diversity to the tone.I love the Floyd Rose, you can dive bomb over and over again and it still stays in tune, the only downside is changing strings and tuning, it takes a little bit of time, especially if you don't know what your doing. Overall,it looks great, feels great,sounds great and I've barely put it down since I've got it. I would pay full price for this if, were I to get another one.

Plays easy, and has a mean sound. I"ll probably just buy another when mine is done. I play way more often after having bought it.

I am absolutely in love with Schecter guitars and basses. I've looked at other brands, but I have a feeling my collection of Schecters will continue to grow. The only problem I've had at all with any Schecter instruments is that when I got this guitar, it was missing the allen wrench for the trem. I contacted Schecter and they immediately sent me a replacement.
Floyd Rose locking trem stays in tune great. The EMG pickups sound awesome and the coil taps give you a versatility of sound that makes this guitar great for a wide variety of musicle genres. The look of the guitar is gorgeous and the finish on it could survive a zombie apocalypse!
I own two Schecter guitars now and three Schecter basses, and every single one is top quality. The finish on all their instruments is always strong, solid and perfect. They're set up at Schecter before being sent out, so when you get them only minor adjustments (if any) are necessary. This one needed a minor neck adjustment and a minor trem adjustment, which really took very little time to accomplish.
Shecter puts out instruments that people would probably pay half again or twice the price for. That's how good the quality and workmanship is. To get an instrument of this quality for this price is just amazing.

I added this to my collection which recently added a custom shop Eric Clapton Strat, because the strat has a fixed trem and I wanted to compliment it with something that had a genuine Floyd Rose. Having to be compared to the Clapton strat set the bar high for the schecter, but it needn't have worried. what blew me away was the attention to detail and the setup on the guitar. it arrived perfectly in tune. the floyd was sitting mercury-level flat and the strings had been so neatly trimmed in the tuners I thought they were reverse wound at first. the frets are perfectly filed and rounded to match the fretboard and every screw and nut on the guitar was perfect, straight and flush. someone really took their time setting it up.

the finish of the guitar is amazing. it almost looks like it was cast from ceramic. it has a through neck and looks like the guitar was cast as a solid piece top to bottom. the active pickups are perfectly noiseless and sound fantastic. you can split the coils by pulling out on the tone knob for that pickup and although the change is very subtle, it is a nice option to have.
the floyd is. . . well, heck, it's a floyd. you can dive the strings loose enough to put a fist between them and the fretboard, and time and time again it just returns to perfect tune. this is a fantastic guitar. if my house burned down tomorrow, this is the one I would replace. the frets are large and the neck is not fat, but fatter than a strat neck, and it's a bit wider. just fyi, that.

mine is white, and the pictures don't do the inlay justice. it's multiple colors and continues all around the entire guitar. it looks far more expensive than it was.

I've always wanted EMGs and finally got them on this beautiful guitar. The sound will blow you away! Admittedly though if you love the clean sound of the strat and are looking for a good balance between clean & dirty get seymour duncans. But on high gain settings the EMGs are awesome. The original floyd rose is a helluva lot better than licensed versions and occasional tweaking of the fine tuners is all that is required to keep this beast in tune for weeks and weeks. The Hellraiser is a looker and the mother of pearl binding and gothic inlays are icing on the cake. The neck is moderately fast but not ideal for shredders used to Ibanez and Jackson necks. The volume pot was a little loose and would come loose when I pulled up the knob for coil tap. A little glue did the trick. Other than that construction is excellent. I own a PRS custom 22 besides eight other guitars and honestly cannot see much difference in build quality between the PRS and the Hellraiser. If you're only going to own one guitar go with something more versatile but for rockers this thing is exceptional!

After researching several different brands of guitars with Floyd Rose set ups i decided to go test drive a new Hellraiser. It was absolutely a beautiful guitar , the EMG's have a killer sound, and the Floyd Rose whammy bar is killer! I fell in love with this guitar immediately and bought it. This is my new favorite axe. Beautiful guitar, wicked sound through my Line 6, and it has no problem staying in tune even with multiple whammy dives! I will be buying more Schecter products in the future.

Overall this guitar is a great value. It's hard to beat the tone from the EMG pick-ups and the Black Cherry color is amazing.....<---no bias there haha. Anyway if you have the money this guitar won't disappoint you....especially those of you in the metal genre.
The Hellraiser C-1 FR is one of the best guitars in it's price range. The EMG pick-ups sound amazing both clean and distorted. However this guitar works best for the metal genre, chrystal clear lead tones are easy to achieve with the active pickups and the fretboard is extremely comfortable and fast. The only disadvantage of this guitar is that the bridge saddles rust from palm muting so be sure to clean them after every use if you want to keep them in awesome condition.

This thing is incredible. A powerhouse of a gutiar. Everything about this guitar screams metal, with the active emgs everyone goes nuts over, original floyd rose, neck thru mahogany body, and 24 very smooth frets. I also LOVE that Schecter added the coil tapping. most people who own this probably won't find use for this feature, but I certainly have. Great for clean tones!The "Special" version of this guitar is nearly the same exact thing in exception to the coil tapping and a different tremolo(Which works GREAT, but is more difficult to set up..)This guitar is workhorse, and is worth every bit of it's cost. If you need the perfect metal guitar, this is it. It can't get much better.
