  • Can't be beat for the price
Color: Crimson Red Style: HELLRAISER C-1
I love this guitar. It is a beautiful instrument that is well made. It plays well. The action is superb. Some reviews said that the neck was thick. My neck is very slim and comfortable. But this guitar delivers with sound. I can get a full range of cleans, blues, rock and metal. All humbuckers should allow splitting that sounds as good as this. I know some reviews indicate that Metal sounds may not be the best, but I get what I need from this guitar. The sustain and harmonics are better than most (much more expensive) models. I play this through a Peavey 100 watt tube half stack. I have an LP Custom with PAFs, an original composite Steinberger with the Steve Vai GEM set, Line 6 Variax 700 and a mexican Strat. The clean organic harmonic chord sounds of the LP can't be beat, but the sustain and overdrive pale in comparison to the Schecter. The Steinberger punches out the metal and harmonics a little better, but doesn't have quite the sweet mid frequency variety of sounds of the C-1. I use all 3 guitars for composing and recording original songs in my studio. The Hellraiser is ideal for live playing (wide variety of sounds-don't need to use a second guitar)and excels when I need to run through chord/lead ideas for songs that I am composing. I turn on the recorder and play for hours. But the bonus is when it is time for mix-down. This Schecter fits in and cuts through the mix. Some guitars and pickups are too muddy or too thin when mixed, but I can easily get the C-1 to 'fit'. Bottom Line-If I could only have one guitar for live shows, creating songs, and studio work, this would be the one. I have a list of all the items that I want in a guitar and this Schecter has them all in an attractive and extremely affordable package. ... show more

  • Guitar good, prep, not so much
Color: Crimson Red Style: HELLRAISER C-1
The Schecter Hellraiser C-1 is a great guitar, but the preparation I would expect to receive was sub standard. When buying a guitar of this quality I would expect it to prepared properly, the action was off so horribly that it was not playable. I had to spend $30 to take it to a local music store to have the action adjusted. I would buy the product and recommend it, but I would not buy another Guitar or Musical Instrument from Amazon. They appeared to receive the item directly from Schecter and ship it out with inspection on usability. ... show more

  • Required professional adjustments but is now an excellent instrument.
Color: Crimson Red Style: HELLRAISER C-1
We bought this guitar for my high-school aged daughter. She loves the appearance. I took it to my guitar technician and he corrected the intonation, adjusted the bridge pickup height and customized the action. The guitar now plays so well, it is amazing. I would recommend taking most new guitars to a skilled and qualified professional for inspection and set up, about $50 in this case, and well worth it. We are very happy and this guitar is now ready for any level of public performance. Thank you Schecter and Amazon. ... show more

  • Great Guitar, not so great setup.
Color: Crimson Red Style: HELLRAISER C-1
Great guitar, setup was quite awful, needing quite a bit of tweaking to get it get rid of the fret buzz. Overall very happy with the guitar, but if I was to buy again, I'd buy local so I could check the setup before buying.

  • An Amazing Guitar for the $
Color: Crimson Red Style: HELLRAISER C-1
So very happy with this guitar! sounds great in regular humbucker mode and single coil configuration.Has excellent sustain. The setup was great out of the box.Fingerboard is smooth and quick. The guitar has a really nice finish, making it very attractive on the stand. It is light and comfortable to play.As stated, the Hellraiser is really quite flexible but it really shines, as you might expect, as a metal axe. Both EMG pickups provide strong and pure tone. These are active pickup, using a 9v battery for power. To maximize the battery life, always unplug the audio cord from the guitar after use. Apparently the pickups are powered when the cord is plugged in (per some online posts). ... show more

Color: Crimson Red Style: HELLRAISER C-1
This is a $2000+ guitar easy. I have had guitars come and go but this one is a class of all its own. The attention to detail is phenomenol, when I opened it my Wife who is not a fan of guitars says "It's beautiful" and she actually rubbed her hands on the neck and said "it's so smooth" What!! It plays easy it's literally the best guitar I have owned in 20 years. Some say it's just a metal guitar but it does the blues quite well. Enjoy this is a must buy if you are serious about your guitars. ... show more
