This review is from: Schecter Hellraiser C-1 Electric Guitar (Black Cherry)It was July of 2006, my band was about to play a show and my main guitar was falling questionably out of tune during songs at practice, so I went on a quest to get something new, that's when I stumbled across this guitar I knew nothing about, a c-1 Schecter Hellraiser. Mahogany body and neck with a carved maple top, nice arched fret board with a great feel to the neck, and powerful EMG pickups give this guitar an awesome punch. The 25.5 scale makes this PERFECT for detuning without any string flapping.My experiences with this guitar, I have nothing bad to say about the guitar, other than the fact that when I wasn't using it live in favor of another guitar, I paid dearly, but the second I plugged the Hellraiser in, not a bad show, not flying out of tune, just very dependable.A lot of people will frown on the Mahogany wood choice, but I've dropped this several times, (thrown once during a rock star temper tantrum) and the guitar keeps on ticking, and most importantly, the red finish still looks gorgeous!I am so glad I took a chance on this guitar, it feels like no other import I have ever played and Schecter has done a great job with the Hellraiser series....
This review is from: Schecter Hellraiser C-1 Electric Guitar (Black Cherry)Got this guitar after trying it out in a store, i must say, glad i did. I have been a musician for about 14yrs and this is the best sounding guitar for the money and beyond. Keep in mind, i have owned over 20+ guitars in the last 14 years: Ibanez, Schecter, Epiphone, Fender, PRS, Hamer, and the list goes on and on. This is the best one yet! Now keep in mind that its about what your using it for as well. Personally i think this guitar can smoke a $3000.00 PRS when it comes to playing metal with tight distortion (PRS's get kinda muddy i think), where as a fender with lace sensor single coils might be better suited if your looking for light jazz or blues. But lets face it... you don't buy a Porsche for soccer practice and you don't buy a Mini-van for racing. With a name like "Hellraiser" this is obviously bred for metal and hard rock!...
This review is from: Schecter Hellraiser C-1 Electric Guitar (Black Cherry)I just got my Schecter Diamond Series Hellraiser C-1 today and this thing is a total beast. I could not be happier with this guitar. The action is perfect, the pickups are insane, and the locking tuners are gonna be great for keeping it in tune. This guitar truly sounds and plays as good as it looks. Top notch. The binding and fret markers are beautiful as is the trim around the headstock. The neck is much thinner than the one I played in the store which I am very happy about. The neck feels like an ESP KH 602 with is slim design. I will have this guitar the rest of my life. I have owned Fenders, Aria Pro, ESP, and now this and it is by far my favorite. I had planned to purchase an ESP KH 602 with the Floyd Rose next but I may reconsider and get the Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR in black instead. This thing through my Peavey 6505 is metal heaven baby! Best guitar for the money by far, I am surprised this thing doesn't sell in the 1500-2000 range. If you are considering guitars and this is a choice, you can't go wrong with the Hellraiser!...
