With EMG Active 81-7/85-7 humbuckers, this guitar offers hard-edged, deep 7-string tone. It's perfect for metal riffs, rhythm, and leads.

The Schecter Hellraiser Special C7 7-String guitar is a beautifully crafted guitar with solid construction at a fantastic price. The set maple neck with Ultra Access allows comfortable playing at the upper frets due to the shaped neck heel. Devastating 7 string tone is pumped out by EMG Active 81-7/85-7 humbuckers. These pickups are high output and eliminate muddiness of the low B string that many 7 string pickups produce, perfect for beefy rhythm and searing hot leads.

Schecter Hellraiser Special C7 - Tuners: Schecter

These high quality tuners feature a classic design in a lubricated and sealed housing to protect gears for a lifetime of maintenance free playability. Details include a 15:1 gear ratio for smooth and precise tuning, removable knobs, threaded hex peghead bushing, and a 10mm diameter peg hole.

Schecter Hellraiser Special C7 - Fingerboard: Rosewood

The most common fretboard, rosewood is naturally oily, and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The sound is richer in fundamental than Maple because the stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pores.

Schecter Hellraiser Special C7 - Pickups: EMG Active 81-7/85-7

Bridge: The 81-7 is a high output pickup designed especially for the 7-string lead guitarist. The 81 is at its best for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. Whether you're playing power rock and roll, or overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible sustain for brilliant soloing. read more If you're looking for exceptional qualities in a 7-string rock pickup, the 81-7 is the one.

Schecter Hellraiser Special C7 - Neck: Maple

Maple has a uniform grain, it's strong and stable, and it has less reaction from environmental changes than other hardwoods. Its tone is highly reflective, and focuses more energy onto the body wood. Maple transfers a bright tone to the body which complements the warm tones of a mahogany body.

"Epic 7 String"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I bought this guitar used and it was half off only because of a little dent on the headstock (I got that fixed up and it's as good as new). This guitar is pretty amazing. The pickups deliver a pretty good low end crunch but they're also very good for shredding. The quilt top is beautiful. It stays in tune very well. The fret inlays are sexy. The rosewood fingerboard sounds great. The mahogany body is nice and resonant. The neckthru design is really nice and resonant. The EMG's, mahogany body and neck will give you a lot of resonance and sustain. The neck is also very nice and skinny. It's just a great guitar overall.
