Schecter's Hellraiser is a well-balanced guitar from aggressive crunchy sounds to rich, clean tones, perfect for the modern day player. The Quilted Maple top provides a great resonance, enhancing the natural tones of the body wood, whilst the Maples figuring creates a stylish and unique look. The Mahogany body offers naturally warm tones, with a touch of bite for creating tights lows and appealing highs. With abalone binding, black chrome hardware, and TonePros bridge, the Hellraiser is given a black cherry burst finish to create a stunning guitar that reflects the tones it can produce.
The 3-piece Mahogany neck and Rosewood fingerboard has been designed with a thin "C" shape for a smooth, fast play, whilst the naturally oily Rosewood fingerboard absorbs stray overtones for a rich sound. The Mahogany/Rosewood combination produces warm, mellow tones with complex highs, thick, creamy lows, and an appealing midrange. It also comes with many other features including Schecter locking machine heads and Gothic cross inlays on the fingerboard.
The Hellraiser features an EMG 81 humbucker situated at the guitars bridge, and an EMG 89R dual-pickup, offering both humbucker and single coil pickup. The EMG 81 features powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils to deliver an intensely detailed tone with a high end cut and fluid sustain, perfect for leads to cut through the mix. The EMG 89R pickup, offers a humbucker based on the EMG 89 but with reversed coils, and a single coil pickup. When switched to humbucker, the pickup produces a rich, warm, powerful tone that’s clear and articulates, and when in single coil mode the pickup produces a traditionally bright, airy tone that’s similar to the EMG SA.
