    More hell, less $$

    The Schecter Hellraiser Special C-1 FR electric guitar has the looks, playability and tone that will please any metal player.

Pearloid dagger inlays, multi-ply binding, and black chrome hardware round out the Hellraiser Special's dark, sinister look.

        Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Hellraiser Special C-1 FR Electric Guitar:

        I watched all the you tube video demo's of this guitar so, I had great anticipation. It arrived with two of the strings broken at the FR bridge and would not stay in tune. The tone was horrible. I don't know if it was just this guitar but was deeply disappointed.

        It's a BEAST!!!

        Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Hellraiser Special C-1 FR Electric Guitar:

        I have played thrash and death METAL \m/ for 20 years now and have owned many different types of guitars. The Schecter C 1 Hellraiser diamond series is a BEAST. I have never ordered a guitar online due to not knowing the instrument I was buying without playing it. I was apprehensive but the gamble more than paid off. The jumbo frets are spacious and the neck is kinda wide and very fast. Exactly what I was looking for. I thought I would take a chance and I'm glad I did. I wish I had this guitar when I was learning how to play in the long long ago. I can already tell my speed has increased. I have owned the guitar for a few days now. It's an awesome instrument!!! Take the chance as I did. You won't regret it!!!

        Perfect

        By Dustin Kaseman

        from North Dakota

        Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Hellraiser Special C-1 FR Electric Guitar:

        I was looking for a guitar that I will be satisfied with to be like a "primary guitar." So I tried this one out. When I got it tuned to where I liked and got the bridge adjusted right I strummed that first chord and I got goosebumps. Perfect tone for metal. I was using the whammy bar like crazy. When I checked to see how much it was out of tune, it was still in perfect tune even after excessive whammy use, that was 4 days after tuning it. Looks beautiful, plays like butter, sounds incredible, stays in tune. What else could you want? I found my dream guitar. BUY THIS
        Has a Floyd Rose bridge which is always nice. When I got mine, I tried to tune it to standard but couldnt because the fine tuning screws got tight all the way before it could reach standard. So I had to unlock the headstock and re-tune and adjust the bridge spring, which isnt a big deal because youd have to do that in the future anyway. Neck is extremly smoothe and even better that it's a set neck and you can shred with ease. Sweet inlays. Only feature it is really missing is a coil tap, but you buy the guitar knowing there isnt one.
        The quality of this guitar is amazing, the finish is perfect. The wood is sturdy. I cant walk by it on the stand without eyeing it as I walk by.
        The value is great. Worth every dollar.

        hmmm.... wish I could trade it!

        Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Hellraiser Special C-1 FR Electric Guitar:

        Local shop didn't have one of these in stock, so I had to order it on blind faith. I won't be doing that again!! The finish on this looks nice from a distance etc, but there are bubbles that you can see and feel in the clear coat. The EMG's are ok, I actually like the passive pickups a little better," but I thought that it would be good for the more serious stuff. But they are nothing special! The battery compartment is too big for a normal 9V which kind of sucks!!! I actually like my ESP LTD ""EC model"" better than this Hellraiser!!! Oh well...

        Good

        Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Hellraiser Special C-1 FR Electric Guitar:

        This is a great guitar especially being made in Korea!!!!!! Even though it's a floyd rose special, it stays in tune pretty well. I use it for blues, rock, and some metal, and these emgs are amazing! Neck is smooth binding all the way around good bends easy vibrato on jumbo frets:}And they sent it already set up, cant beat it for the price range.

        Comments about Schecter Guitar Research Hellraiser Special C-1 FR Electric Guitar:

        This guitar has proved itself in every way. It stays in tune thru vigorus use of the tremelo, the pickups are amazing clean and distorted, and both finishes are beautiful. I recommend this guitar to anyone searching for a next-level instrument.
