Seven Strings of Pure Metal Mayhem!

You asked for it, and Schecter is all too pleased to deliver the Hellraiser Hybrid C-7: a 7-string solidbody electric guitar with all the features serious aggressive guitarists have been asking for. It all starts off with a set of extra-hot EMG active humbuckers — the perfect basis for brutal tone. A delightfully balanced mahogany body topped with quilted maple offers up a tried-and-true tonewood combo, your fingers will positively fly down the Hellraiser Hybrid C-7's compound-radius fretboard and slim SLS neck, and you'll love the tuning stability you'll get from the Hipshot hardtail bridge.

Hellraiser Hybrid: cool guitars with the features players like you demand

One of the things we really like about Schecter here at Sweetwater is that they're clearly devoted to giving their fans exactly the guitars they want. The Hellraiser Hybrid lineup is just one more example of this. Based entirely on feedback from players like you, Schecter loaded the Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 and the rest of the HH Series with a slim SLS profile neck, a compound-radius fretboard, a newly designed carbon fiber binding, a full set of glow-in-the-dark side dots (a real bonus when you're playing darker venues), and a pair of super-popular EMG active humbuckers. Get the performance you need and all of the trappings you desire with your very own Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 solidbody electric guitar!

Get hot-rodded PAF tone from this pair of popular EMG pickups

If you're looking for a sweet range of tone that can go from subtle to brutal, then you're going to get a kick out of the Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-7. Like the rest of the Hellraiser Hybrid collection, the Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 comes loaded with a pair of active EMG pickups including an EMG 57-7 at the bridge and an EMG 66-7 at the neck - both with cool-looking brushed black metal-works covers. The result sounds like a set of overwound vintage PAFs. From the chest-thumping lows to the resonant honk that metal guitarists rely on, you'll get all the tones you need from your Hellraiser Hybrid C-7.

Quilted maple meets solid mahogany — the perfect tonewoods for metal

Modern metal and hard rock were founded on the sound of warm mahogany and the bite of maple - and that's just what you get with a Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 solidbody electric guitar. Resculpted for the Hellraiser Hybrid line, the Hellraiser Hybrid C-7's mahogany body sports an increased upper cutaway that provides even easier access to your higher frets. Stunning quilted maple caps this body, adding both bright sonic overtones and a look so 3-dimensional it seems to punch through the glossy black finish.

Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-7 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • A high-performance 7-string electric guitar built to give metal and hard rock players exactly what they want
  • Pair of active EMG humbuckers includes a EMG 57-7 at the bridge and an EMG 66-7 at the neck for hot-rodded PAF tone
  • Contoured and well-balanced mahogany body topped with quilted maple looks great and sounds amazing
  • 3-piece maple neck with slim SLS neck profile lets your fingers fly down the fretboard
  • Compound-radius fretboard lets you easily bend notes up high and finger chords down low
  • Fully adjustable Hipshot hardtail bridge and string-through-body configuration deliver awesome sustain
  • Other details include carbon fiber binding and glow-in-the-dark side dots

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

Excellent!

These guitars are simply excellent. Very comfortable neck and some really cool features (like the glow in the dark i lays). The body work is gorgeous on these as well.

I also really like the EMG 57/66 set in this guitar. I'm personally a Blackouts fan, but these are kinda like an 81/85 but a lot smoother and a bit fatter due to some lower midrange going on that 81s don't have.

Overall, I'm very happy with this guitar!
Rated 5/5

Beautiful guitar

Pictures don't do it justice. I now have 3 Schecter guitars. This is my first 7 string. Can't wait to get in the groove with it. Adding the 7th string was just what I was missing. The weight is nice. Finish is beautiful. Neck while a little thicker than 6 string is still very comfortable. So far this guitar seams very versatile in tonality.

Absolute Monster

I have had the 6 string version of this guitar for about 4 years. Everything about this guitar is stunning from the carbon fiber binding to the satin neck and gorgeous finnish. The Emg pups are the icing on the cake. This 7 string guitar is very hard to put down. Easy to play fast as lightning and the TONE! Im so impressed I want the 8 string of this exact guitar now lol
