Schecter Hellraiser C-8 FR – Black Cherry

The Schecter Hellraiser C-8 FR is a powerful 8-string electric guitar designed for modern players who require stability, tonal richness, and high performance. With a mahogany body, quilted maple top, and set-neck construction with Ultra Access, this model delivers long sustain, fast response, and excellent playing comfort across the entire register.

Construction and Playability

The 3-piece mahogany neck is reinforced with carbon-fiber rods for added stability and consistent tonal response. The Thin C profile provides fast, comfortable playability suited for both riffing and lead playing. The rosewood fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and a 28" scale offers optimal string tension for low tunings and precise control in the extended range.

EMG 808 Pickups for Powerful 8-String Tone

This model is equipped with active EMG 808 pickups in both the neck and bridge. They deliver a wide frequency response, clear attack, and tight low end — ideal for metal, progressive styles, and low tuning applications.

Floyd Rose 1000 Series for Maximum Control

The locking Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo provides excellent tuning stability even under extreme whammy-bar techniques. Combined with rugged black chrome hardware and a string-through inspired design, the guitar is ready for stage and studio work.
