Schecter Guitar Research® Diamond Series® HELLRAISER C-7 (Black) 7-String FEATURES:
A SLAYING MACHINE WITH ALL THE COMPULSORY TOOLS OF DESTRUCTION
The 7-String Schecter Guitar Research® Diamond Series® HELLRAISER C-7 electric guitar is designed and built for hard rockin' metal. The HELLRAISER's Set-Neck, 26½" Scale, mahogany body, and EMG® 707TW Humbuckers leave no doubt as to the C-7 guitar's metal credentials. Now you have more options than ever by activating single-coil sounds via push/pull volume knobs. Black hardware, a beautifully lush gloss black finish, and abalone gothic-cross fret-markers give the Schecter® C-7 a dangerous vibe. Ultra-access neck joint and extra jumbo frets make the HELLRAISER C-7 easy to play anywhere on the fretboard.
________________________________________________________________________
7-STRINGS: IT'S ALL ABOUT OPTIONS
With the Schecter Guitar Research® Diamond Series® HELLRAISER C-7 solidbody 7-String electric guitar, you get options. Put up a wall of sound with huge, thick chords; launch runs that start really low; play bass lines; discover new chord "voicings" - the possibilities are endless. Its 3-Piece neck, string-through-body construction, locking tuners, and "tappable" EMG® active humbuckers, this axe is built for hard-core front-line duty. The HELLRAISER C-7 doesn't feel like a 6-String with an extra string - it's an amazingly playable instrument unto itself. Considering a 7-String? Check out the Schecter Guitar Research® Diamond Series® HELLRAISER C-7 .
Schecter Hellraiser C-7 SolidBody 7-String electric guitar at a Glance:
7-String guitars are a breed apart. The Schecter® Diamond Series® HELLRAISER C-7 solidbody guitar sports a 26½" scale that keeps your Low-B sounding nice and tight; this also imparts a unique sound to the rest of the instrument. Schecter®'s 7-String design and construction techniques (3-Piece neck, string-through-body construction, and locking tuners) all contribute to the HELLRAISER C-7's unique, authoritative, eminently musical voice.
2). EMG® 707TW Humbuckers onboard
The Schecter® Diamond Series® HELLRAISER C-7 is fitted with two active EMG® 707TW Humbucking pickups. If you're deploying a low B-string, then there's no use even trying a passive pickup. Designed specifically for 7-String guitars, the EMG® 707TW gives you the clearest, fattest low end you've ever felt from a guitar pickup. Better still, these pickups are tapped, serving up pure Alnico single-coil spank and sparkle. It's this kind of tonal versatility that makes the Schecter® Diamond Series® HELLRAISER C-7 ideal for metal, fusion, and most any flavour of rock.
3). Looks great onstage
No doubt about it - with its Abalone body binding and Gothic cross fretboard inlays, the Schecter® Diamond Series® HELLRAISER C-7 solidbody 7-String guitar looks KILLER. A class act all the way. At N E W T O N E M U S I C, we're stone serious about sound, but we're not immune to a little stage vanity. Look at it this way: as you're hurling monstrous power chords at your audience, you might as well look good doing it.

MUSICRADAR REVIEW: SCHECTER GUITAR RESEARCH® Diamond Series® HELLRAISER C-7
At first glance, the spec sheet of the South Korean-built HELLRAISER C-7 is so similar to that of the ESP® LTD® MH-417 that it's like the designers were copying each other's homework.
It's flawlessly built around a sculpted mahogany body and slim C-Profile neck, features rosewood board and 24-Fat-Frets. To kick off, the C-7 comes spec'd with a pair of Coil-"Splittable" EMG® 707TW Humbuckers. The coil-split is activated from a push/pull on each of the volume controls.
Now, you may think think that single-coil options are a bit pointless on a fire-breathing 7-String guitar, buy you'd be wrong. Tonal versatility is never pointless and the C-7 reinforces that opinion with a selection of warm yet punchy "humbucking" and single-coil sounds.
EMG® pickups are not generally celebrated for their clean tone but the single-coil mode on both 707 pickups works great for jazzy runs and chords and blues licks on mild overdrive settings.
The HELLRAISER's extended 26½-inch scale adds a useful touch of extra tension to the low B-String for increased definition, even when the distortion is piled on - and the other strings feel unaffected by the added tension. There's just a bit more twang in the tone - and that's important if you want your bottom string riffs to stand out live or in a mix.
The HELLRAISER's wider tonal range and extended scale length make it a more potent package for us. The lowish price tag doesn't hurt either.
We reckon you'll use the guitar's single-coil options more than you expect, and you'll definitely appreciate the tighter response in the low B-String.
It may be a HELLRAISER by name, but this guitar is so much more than that !

★★★★★ Amazing guitar
Bought this as my first 7-String and my first guitar. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. The guitar was set up, played, and sounded amazing. The pickups sound great clean and distorted. No mushy / muddy tone. Great definition and clarity. Smooth playing neck and locking tuners keep everything in tune. Awesome guitar. Highly recommend to all!
by Jonathan Broadway from Midlothian, Va on September 19, 2012
★★★★★ Lovin' it!
Finally, the feel and tone I've been after! I played a Schecter® Omen-7 with DiMarzio® Deactivators that I bought used a few years ago (my first 7-String) and bought this Hellraiser as an upgrade. After shopping numerous models from Schecter®, ESP®, and Ibanez® over the past year, I settled on this one, and could not be happier. I don't typically gush about the aesthetics of my toys, but this guitar is a thing of beauty. I put on some strap locks, plugged it into my rig (Orange® Rockerverb 50 and Orange® Dual Terror heads into a MESA/Boogie® Recto® 4x12 and Carvin® 2x12) and fired it up. The first thing I noticed was a giant improvement in the low-end clarity. I play mostly rhythm in my current band and had never been able to get the mud out of the sound. Not anymore! From drop Ab power chords to single note runs, it sounds alive at every range, and puts fire in my riffs. Harmonics and feedback are total ear candy. The feel of the neck is perfect, and the access to the upper range frets is sweet. This is my first guitar with active pickups, and from the sound of them, there's no going back. The switching and separate coil taps make for great tonal versatility. The fretwork and overall quality are high end. I'm very happy to have gotten such great value for the price. As always, my sales rep did a top-notch job on the delivery.

★★★★½ Excellent
The Hellraiser C-7 is an excellent guitar. It is solidly built, the pickups sound great, and the tuners are very good. The only issues I've had are minor (replacing tone knobs and toggle switch cover because they had fallen off). But it really is a great playing guitar and great sounding for rock and metal. Highly recommended - probably one of the best guitars under US$1000.

★★★★☆ Raising total hell with this thing!
I got this 2nd hand, but I loved this guitar! It felt really good! The EMG®s are really good for the distortion tones, and I LOVE the 2 x Volume knobs! The TOM bridge and gloss neck is the only thing that irritated me. But for the price it is pretty nice!

★★★★☆The all-rounder, and pretty to look at too ! !
The looks are impeccable. The fit and finish are superb. SOUND: The EMG®s are LOUD and POWERFUL. I have to turn down the volume on the guitar, so I don't overpower my amp set up. The clarity is nice and there are many tones available. The volume knob by the bridge pickup is a bit close for my taste but if you're used to a Strat it's fine. Locking tuners perform flawlessly and this guitar stays in tune. When the climate changes the tuning, all strings change nearly evenly. A well-built and good sounding guitar, equally happy in the heavy metal, rock, and even jazz genre. It's a great all-rounder, and pretty too ! ! ! This guitar is number 30 in my collection.

STOCK SUPPLY NOTES
A note on our rare, classic, vintage, collectable, and used musical instrument amplifier & musical instrument equipment items. While we offer a warranty on your purchase, because we run on very tight profit margins (meaning cheaper gear - which is good for you, the buyer), it also means that you need to make sure you actually want the items for their incredible tone, durability, and lasting quality rather than perfect looks. Any returns or refunds will incur a re-stock fee of around a third the value of your (already) low purchase price so please remember that while most of our gear is excellent for the age, these items (especially our valve amplifier) are indeed rare and represent the sound of an unrepeatable era. Even though we meticulously service, test, clean, polish and warrant all our gear, there may occasionally be some residual scuffs underneath or on the sides, or perhaps a tiny tolex rip on the rear. So, while our gear will be in EXCELLENT CONDITION (for the age), we will always advise you if the gear is in MINT CONDITION or if we feel that the item is perhaps of only AVERAGE CONDITION.
