Mahogany Body, Quilted Maple Top
Schecter's Hellraiser is a well-balanced guitar from aggressive crunchy sounds to rich, clean tones, perfect for the modern day player. The arched Quilted Maple top provides a great resonance, enhancing the natural tones of the body wood, whilst the Maple's figuring provides a unique and visually stunning appeal. The Mahogany body offers naturally warm tones, with a touch of bite for creating tights lows and appealing highs. With abalone binding, black chrome, and a Floyd Rose bridge, the Hellraiser is given a dragon burst finish to create a stunning guitar that reflects the tones it can produce.

The 3-piece Mahogany neck and Rosewood fingerboard has been designed with a thin "C" shape for a smooth, fast play, whilst the naturally oily Rosewood fingerboard absorbs stray overtones for a rich sound.
