A top choice of tonewoods
The Schecter Hellraiser is crafted to offer a well-balanced, sonically perfect sound that is completely versatile to fit any situation. The mahogany body provides an abundance of warmth to the guitar's natural sound, keeping the low end tight and together, whilst ensuring the mids are defined and present in the mix. A quilted maple top allows for scintillating highs, adding that final bit of tonal perfection to the instrument’s arsenal.
Powerful pickups
This Schecter comes ready for destruction thanks to the brilliant combination of pickups, which includes the EMG 81 at the bridge and a Sustainiac pickup at the neck. The EMG 81 comes constructed from powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils that deliver a sound which is incredibly detailed and holds an abundance of sustain, perfect for elevating those lead lines above the mix. The Sustainiac dials this sound up to 11, producing equally accurate tones, but possessing a sustain that can easily be altered to suit your needs, thanks to a three-way control switch for different levels of sustain.
