SCHECTER - HELLRAISER C-7

Description

With the Schecter Hellraiser C-7 solidbody 7-string electric guitar, you get options. Put up a wall of sound with huge, thick chords; launch runs that start really low; play bass lines; discover new chord voicings — the possibilities are endless. With its 3-piece neck, string-through-body construction, locking tuners, and tappable EMG active humbuckers, this axe is built for hard-core front-line duty. The Hellraiser C-7 doesn't feel like a 6-string with an extra string — it's an amazingly playable instrument unto itself. Considering a 7-string? Check out the Schecter Hellraiser C-7.

7-string guitars are a breed apart. The Schecter Hellraiser C-7 solidbody guitar sports a 26.5-inch scale that keeps your low B sounding nice and tight; this also imparts a unique sound to the rest of the instrument. Schecter's 7-string design and construction techniques (3-piece neck, string-through-body construction, and locking tuners) all contribute to the Hellraiser C-7's unique, authoritative, eminently musical voice.

The Schecter Hellraiser C-7 is fitted with two active EMG 707TW humbucking pickups. If you're deploying a low B-string, then there's no use even trying a passive pickup. Designed specifically for 7-string guitars, the 707TW gives you the clearest, fattest low end you've ever felt from a guitar pickup. Better still, these pups are tapped, serving up pure alnico single-coil spank and sparkle. It's this kind of tonal versatility that makes the Schecter Hellraiser C-7 ideal for metal, fusion, and most any flavor of rock.

No doubt about it — with its Abalone body binding and Gothic cross fretboard inlays, the Schecter Hellraiser C-7 solidbody 7-string guitar looks killer. A class act all the way. At Sweetwater, we're stone serious about sound... but we're not immune to a little stage vanity. Look at it this way: as you're hurling monstrous power chords at your audience, you might as well look good doing it.
