Schecter Tuners

These high quality tuners feature a classic design in a lubricated and sealed housing to protect gears for a lifetime of maintenance free playability. Details include a 15:1 gear ratio for smooth and precise tuning, removable knobs, threaded hex peghead bushing, and a 10mm diameter peg hole.

Rosewood Fingerboard

The most common fretboard, Rosewood is naturally oily, and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The sound is richer in fundamental than Maple because the stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pores.

EMG Active 808 Pickups

The 707 has been leading the pack of 7-string guitar pickups since its debut in 2001, and is now available for the 8-String! Before this model was introduced, existing 8-string pickups sounded muddy and dull on the low F# string, especially when trying to hit artificial and natural harmonics, but the 808 read more eliminates all those problems. Featuring Alnico V loaded wide aperture coils they were able to beef up that Low F# tone and at the same time provide a more responsive super tight overall sound. read less

Guitar is really sweet. I couldn't find a lefty 8 string with 808s in it and a floyd rose system, which is what i really wanted. But I was not disappointed with the hellraiser c8. Such clear tone when clean, and such brutality when crunchy. the only thing i dislike about the guitar is that the low 8th strin does not stay in tune at all, youll go to tune it and it will start flat, go into tune, then progress to sharp in a matter of seconds. I think replacing it with a bass string would help. Overall it is an fantastic guitar, wicked glad i bought it dude!
