Loaded with Options for Tonal Control

Schecter's Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S solidbody electric guitar was built for today's fast-paced playing. An EMG 57 active humbucker in the bridge and a Sustainiac in the neck allow you to conjure endless sustain with a wide tonal range. The Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S's compound-radius fretboard and SLS neck make fast playing a breeze. And a Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo tailpiece offers smooth bends and solid tuning stability. The Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S is outfitted with all the features you need to take your playing over the top.

Built with your playing in mind

One of the things we really like about Schecter here at Sweetwater is that they're devoted to giving their fans exactly the guitars they need. Based entirely on feedback from players like you, Schecter loaded the Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S and the rest of the HH series with a slim SLS profile neck, a compound-radius fretboard, and an Ultra Access heel. That combined with carbon-fiber binding, a full set of glow-in-the-dark side dots, and hot-rodded electronics ensure your playing experience will be effortless and exhilarating.

Hot-rodded PAF-style tone

The Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S offers a wide range of tone that can go from subtle to brutal. Like the rest of the Hellraiser Hybrid collection, the Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S comes loaded with an active EMG 57 humbucking pickup at the bridge position. The pickup sports a sleek brushed black metal-works cover. And its voice is what you'd expect from an overwound vintage PAF. The slight midrange scoop, top end clarity, and warm-but-musical lows are all there. But the higher headroom helps your playing nuance show through and really drive your amp when desired.

Endless controllable sustain

The Sustainiac electronics installed in the Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S offer you instant access to completely controllable unending notes. Turn the pickup on with the onboard controls, play a note, and enjoy hearing your guitar sing as long as you keep fretting the note. A 3-way toggle lets you choose from hearing your tone unaffected, a harmonic mode that sounds much like the feedback from a cranked amplifier, and a mix of the two. This is especially helpful if you perform through in-ears without the interaction of a loud amplifier onstage.

Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-1 FR S Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • 6-string electric guitar with powerful electronics
  • An active EMG 57 is a high-output, vintage-voiced humbucker
  • Sustainiac neck pickup will sustain as long as you desire
  • Quilted maple looks great and adds attack
  • Slim SLS neck profile is ideal for high-speed playing
  • Compound-radius fretboard is comfortable for chording and wide string bends
  • Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo offers pitch control and tuning stability
  • Carbon-fiber binding
  • Glow-in-the-dark side dots are a big help on dark stages

I love playing this guitar

The changing color with the reflecting of light was dazzling. It is really awesome guitar. I really like the sustain pickup with different settings and the smooth playable fret and tough Floyd Rose tremolo.

Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-1FR-S Review

This guitar gets 5 stars for the money. If it was a $ guitar, I'd give it 4.75 stars. There are a couple of imperfections in the graphite weave binding. Other than that I can't find any issues. You will most likely need to have it set up after you get it. The action was too high on this one, plus I wanted to use my normal string gauge, which is 9-46. I think it came with 10's. Most guitars have to acclimate to their final destination. I also own a Schecter Blackjack SLS Avenger. I wanted another schecter with a sustainiac. The Hellraiser Hybrid has an additional "drive" control for the sustainiac that that the Avenger does not. I've had the guitar out on 3 gigs so far and haven't really messed with that control yet. The tuning seems to be pretty stable now. I bought one of the lighter ones that Sweetwater had. It's 8 pounds. I really like the fact that Sweetwater let's you choose among their inventory. This guitar has a lot of extras that you won't find on other brands. The satin finish on the back of the neck is really nice. I have EMG's on most of my guitars, and I'm quite happy with the EMG 57 that this came with. The guitar feels very solid and has great tone. I'm using it through a Kemper Stage. I play a variety of styles from Metal to Hip Hop. It's not as versatile sounding as a guitar with a humbucker and two single coils, but it gets the job done. I prefer a tad more slender of a neck, but it's still really good. It's not chunky or big. Slightly thicker than say an Ibanez RG. The tuners are great. The finish is amazing, and I've had several compliments on it from the audience. ESP is charging over 5K for guitars with a similar flip/flop finish. It has what seems to be one of the higher end Floyd Rose trems. The bar does not thread on. It inserts. You can adjust the tension with a set screw. I've not had this before, but it seems to work better, with the tension being more evenly distributed. The glow-in-the-dark position markers on the side of the neck are a nice touch for when the stage lights go dark. The sustainiac functions as expected, which is awesome. As most of you know, you could not buy a guitar with all of these features from Fender, Gibson, or PRS, at any price.
Music background: Professional guitarist since 1983. I've played in national acts, cover bands, shows, etc.
Rated 4.5/5

Checks lots of boxes at an affordable price.

First of all, the guitar. I have a custom Strat, a professionally moded Ibanez 550, a Custom Tele, and many more. This guitar stacks up. I prefer the smoother sound of the EMG 57 (in this guitar's bridge position) over the "in your face" EMG 81. The compound radius, ebony fretboard is butter smooth. I thought of the Sustaniac as a gimmick, until I used it. Sustain and harmonics at bedroom volume levels. The paint is... well, I don't have the words. It is killer, awesome, very cool... Iridescent color shifting. You can see a little of it in the photo I posted. Pictures do not do it justice. This guitar is worth the money. Secondly, my sales engineer, Grant Embury is amazing. I have dealt with Sweetwater since 2008. Grant for about 5 years. They take EXCELLENT care, follow up, and focus on getting answers. I work at a friend's recording studio, so over the years, we have thrown Grant some serious questions! My first review so I had to shout out to Grant and Sweetwater!
Music background: Playing for years and getting paid!
