Most reliable instrument I ever bought
By C. Taylor
It was July of 2006, my band was about to play a show and my main guitar was falling questionably out of tune during songs at practice, so I went on a quest to get something new, that's when I stumbled across this guitar I knew nothing about, a c-1 Schecter Hellraiser. Mahogany body and neck with a carved maple top, nice arched fret board with a great feel to the neck, and powerful EMG pickups give this guitar an awesome punch. The 25.5 scale makes this PERFECT for detuning without any string flapping.My experiences with this guitar, I have nothing bad to say about the guitar, other than the fact that when I wasn't using it live in favor of another guitar, I paid dearly, but the second I plugged the Hellraiser in, not a bad show, not flying out of tune, just very dependable.A lot of people will frown on the Mahogany wood choice, but I've dropped this several times, (thrown once during a rock star temper tantrum) and the guitar keeps on ticking, and most importantly, the red finish still looks gorgeous!I am so glad I took a chance on this guitar, it feels like no other import I have ever played and Schecter has done a great job with the Hellraiser series.

By Azatru
I firmly believe that buying a better/different/new guitar wont make you a better player; but, buying a guitar that makes playing and practicing more fun, most definitely will improve your playing ability!I shopped around for this exact guitar model online and offline, it had a combination of the electronics i wanted, with a body style that screams bad-ass, without looking goofy or akward. I had been wanting a Schecter for a while, and had been trying to decide between this model, and another near identical looking model that had different pickups (the Schecter Blackjack with Seymour Duncan AHB-1 Blackouts).In the end, those two guitars being identical in price, only difference being one has EMG's and one has SD's, i opted for this model because I wanted the somewhat compressed sound of the EMG's over the slightly more natural sounding blackouts.I didnt buy blindly, i played both models at my local Guitar Center, and bought the one that fit my play-style, and musical preferences the best.The natural harmonics just seem to jump out of this guitar, and the sustain is awe-inspiring.The only thing that the blackouts did better than the emg's were pinch harmonics/squeelies. this guitar does pinch harmonics well, it just requires a bit more pick-accuracy.The thing i just realized after 3 days of almost constant playing is that this guitar stays in tune so inredibly well, even after all of my aggressive bends and rhythm heavy riffs.i wish i had bought this model when it first came out, i would have saved alot of time looking and hunting for that perfect heavy metal sound"*note* The Schecter Hellraiser C-1's currently being manufactured new dont have the same pickup configuration as this model. This model (the older version) has an EMG 81, and an EMG 85. The new model has two push/pull coil-tap pots, and the pickups are an EMG 81 and 89TW.i personally like this version better, it is great for lead, rhythm and shred. the newer model is supposedly better for soloing leads, and can be played as a single coil, which doesnt really matter to me

By J. Carney
Got this guitar after trying it out in a store, i must say, glad i did. I have been a musician for about 14yrs and this is the best sounding guitar for the money and beyond. Keep in mind, i have owned over 20+ guitars in the last 14 years: Ibanez, Schecter, Epiphone, Fender, PRS, Hamer, and the list goes on and on. This is the best one yet! Now keep in mind that its about what your using it for as well. Personally i think this guitar can smoke a $3000.00 PRS when it comes to playing metal with tight distortion (PRS's get kinda muddy i think), where as a fender with lace sensor single coils might be better suited if your looking for light jazz or blues. But lets face it... you don't buy a Porsche for soccer practice and you don't buy a Mini-van for racing. With a name like "Hellraiser" this is obviously bred for metal and hard rock!
