Make Those Notes Last Forever!

Add a true metal guitar to your collection with the left-handed Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR-S solidbody electric guitar! This Hellraiser gives you a mahogany body, a quilted maple top, a thin mahogany neck, and a rosewood fretboard that delivers hard-hitting lows and a soaring top end. What's more, Schecter gave the Hellraiser C-1 FR-S an ultra-cool Sustainiac neck pickup, which lets you pull off flying solos like nothing else out there. Add this to an EMG 81 humbucker and a Floyd Rose tremolo, and you have one mean metal machine.

Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR-S Left-handed Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Rock-solid construction with high-end appointments
  • Sustainiac humbucker gives you never-ending tone
  • Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge/tailpiece lets you carve out hardcore bends
Rock-solid construction with high-end appointments

When you pick up a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR-S guitar, you'll be amazed by all of the details and finishing touches that make this a truly remarkable instrument. Its beautiful quilted maple top appears to leap off the surface, and the intricate inlays in its bound fretboard add a special touch of class. What's more, these details aren't just cosmetic. The Hellraiser C-1 FR-S features a set neck with an Ultra Access heel carve, which gives you easy access to those higher, hard-to-reach frets.

Sustainiac humbucker gives you never-ending tone

You just can't beat the sheer sustain you'll get out of your Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR-S's Sustainiac humbucking neck pickup... literally! That's because this unique pickup design features a special sustain circuit that's designed to let notes ring on as long as you like. Just kick in the Sustain circuit, play a note or chord on your Hellraiser C-1 FR-S, and let the electromagnetic feedback carry your sound as long as you like. You haven't busted out a solo till you've rocked a Hellraiser C-1 FR-S!

Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge/tailpiece lets you carve out hardcore bends

Schecter knows that serious shredders like you demand absolute performance out of their guitars. That's why they loaded the Hellraiser C-1 FR-S with a real Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo bridge. A remake of the original Floyd Rose blade tremolo, this incredible bridge lets you grab on, rock out, and never worry about pulling your action out of whack. You'll get both the rock-solid reliability and the tight response you need when you rock out with a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR-S!

An Awesome Guitar!

I purchased my Hellraiser in 2018 and over 5 years later, it remains one of my all-time favorites! One of the best values for the money and I absolutely love the Sustainiac pickups and switches. If you're into JY Young/Styx, this guitar will help you get those sounds. Thin, fast neck is perfect for my style of play. Stays in tune no matter what. This guitar is well-made and has a very sturdy finish - After countless hours of play in the past 5 years, still almost no pick scratches at all. And of course, Anthony Giraldi is simply the best! I highly recommend this guitar!

Yikes!

This is an awesome guitar! Beautifully finished. It looks and feels great. Sustainiac is a beast!
Many thanks to Perry D, the guitar guru. He is awesome to work with. My order shipped within 24 hours.

The most fun I've had in a while!

First let me just say that I really wanted the Schecter Apocalypse FR-S but of course being a lefty really screwed that up for me so I set my attention on the Hellraiser (which is the guitar I was checking out before I saw the apocalypse anyway). This guitar is a little heavier than the apocalypse but a good strap takes care of that. The EMG and sustainiac pick ups both sound very good. Very clean and warm and get punchy as all hell with the right effects. The sustainiac pickup is so much fun to play with. The 3 different settings give you a ton of different sounds and you can easily get lost for hours just playing with it. The craftsmanship on this guitar is also top notch. No detail has been spared. The inlays on the fretboard are beautifully set. The binding looks fantastic and the setup was pretty much perfect from Sweetwater. The floating bridge was perfectly level, the neck had the perfect amount of relief and the strings surprisingly were perfectly intonated out of the box. I really enjoy doing setups on my guitars and I was a little disappointed I didn't have to on this one. I guess I will have to wait until it gets warmer outside.
Rated 5/5

This guitar is worth every penny!

My Schecter C1 FRS and my Schecter Solo semi-hollow are my favorite Axes of many I have. The workmanship quality is beyond excellent! The EMG pickups are my favorites as well as many professionals favorites. The finish on the C1 neck is silky smooth, very thin, bending is very smooth. This all makes for a real shred machine! The Sustainiac feature is crazy fun! Everything about this guitar is sweet! The inlays, and trim work are immaculate! The only consideration is to check the weight of the C1. I like it, but it may be a little heavy for some! Both of my Schecters sound amazing, using a clean amp! Lefties, check out a Gator (PRS) case for this axe, as the Schecter "one case fits all" in my opinion, is way to loose of fit. (Ask your Sweetwater rep)
