Description
The Schecter Hellraiser C-9 pushes the acclaimed Hellraiser series into extended-range territory, giving 9-string players the same aggressive looks and tonal firepower that made this line a modern classic since its 2006 debut. If you need serious low-end real estate without sacrificing clarity or attitude, this is the platform built for it.
- Active EMG 81TW/89 pickup set for high-output, low-noise performance
- Dual Mode “split” tone control lets you switch between full humbucker punch and single-coil-style clarity
- 9-string configuration for extended-range riffing, ambient chords, and low-tuned heaviness
- Solid body construction for sustain and stage-ready durability
- Striking Black Cherry finish that matches the guitar’s aggressive tone
The EMG 81TW handles bridge-position aggression with tight, articulate lows, while the 89 in the neck position offers warmth and versatility thanks to its coil-splitting capability. Together with the Dual Mode switching, you get access to a wider tonal palette than a standard active pickup setup — from thick, saturated rhythm tones to cleaner, more dynamic voicings for lead work or ambient textures.
Whether you’re exploring polyrhythmic riffing, djent-style low tunings, or expanding your chordal vocabulary across nine strings, the C-9 gives you the range and output to do it convincingly. It’s a natural fit for progressive metal players, extended-range enthusiasts, and anyone looking to push past the limits of a standard 6-string.
