Schecter Hellraiser C-8 Electric Guitar in Black Cherry
The Hellraiser C-8 delivers a comfortable, ergonomic playing experience with its thin "C"-shaped neck and extended 28" scale designed for eight-string extended-range performance. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway provides excellent upper-fret accessibility, while the arched quilted maple top combined with mahogany body delivers both visual appeal and tonal resonance. This is a serious instrument for players committed to lower-tuned, heavier music.
Playability & Neck Performance
The mahogany 3-piece neck features carbon fiber reinforcement rods for stability and minimal neck dive, paired with a thin "C" profile that measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret. Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets on a 16" fretboard radius combine with the 28" extended scale and rosewood fretboard to deliver fast, precise articulation across all registers, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and Schecter locking tuners ensure reliable tuning stability.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 808 active pickups—one in the bridge and one in the neck position—deliver the focused, articulate output essential for eight-string applications, with independent volume controls for each pickup plus a master tone control and 3-way switch. The 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active electronics, while the Hipshot Hardtail hardtail bridge with string-through-body design maximizes sustain and resonance.
