Description
The Schecter Hellraiser C-8 is purpose-built for players chasing extended range without sacrificing clarity on the bottom end. This 8-string solid body pairs aggressive looks with an engineering-first approach to low-string tone, tackling one of the trickiest problems in extended-range guitars: keeping that low F# tight and articulate instead of muddy.
- EMG 808 Active Pickups: Purpose-designed for 8-string guitars, these active pickups use Alnico V-loaded wide aperture coils to beef up the low F# response while keeping the overall voice tight and responsive, even on natural and artificial harmonics.
- 3-Piece Mahogany Neck with Carbon Fiber Rods: Built from three pieces of mahogany for long-term stability, with two carbon fiber rods flanking the truss rod to resist twisting. The result is a neck that stays straight and playable for years, adding stiffness without adding real weight.
- Rosewood Fingerboard: A naturally oily wood that holds up well to frequent playing, with pores that soak up stray overtones for a richer, more fundamental-focused tone than maple.
- Hipshot Custom-8 Bridge: Designed by Schecter in collaboration with Hipshot, this bridge features smaller F# and B saddles plus an offset string-through arrangement on the F#/B/E strings for dialed-in intonation. Stainless steel saddles brighten the highs while keeping the lows resonant.
- Schecter Locking Tuners: A locking screw pin keeps strings secure for solid tuning stability, backed by a 19:1 gear ratio for fine adjustments, removable knobs, threaded peghead bushings, and 10mm peg holes.
Finished in Black Cherry, the Hellraiser C-8 is built for guitarists who need range, low-end punch, and stability from a solid body 8-string.
