Schecter C1 Hellraiser Branco

Glued neck
Instruments with a new glued neck design provide the musician with convenient access to the highest positions of the fingerboard, which brings a feeling of playing comparable to instruments equipped with a through neck. At the same time, however, they maintain a pleasant and warm sound caused by the contact of various types of wood on the transition foot between the neck and the body, as we are used to in the case of instruments with a classic glued connection.

Bridge Tonepros and graded attachment of strings across the body
A simple innovation compared to the standard Tune-o-matic type is the fixed fixation of the bridge and the end piece to the fastening elements by means of two miniature screws. The advantage is extended sustain, more precise tuning and more comfortable play. All this thanks to better stability of the whole system.
The graded gripping and pulling of the strings across the body balances the tension of the individual strings, which is especially advantageous for various alternative "dropped" tunings. At the same time, this solution emphasizes the articulation of individual tones, improves the game feeling and prolongs sustain.

Active sensors
Active EMG pickups provide the instrument with a much higher output signal, which better handles both the different input impedances of the guitar amplifier and virtually any cable length. The signal is much less prone to cable-induced interference, such as hum, etc., and is also significantly more tolerant, for example, to guitar transmitters, which affect its sound significantly less than passive pickups. Another bonus is the extended sustain, thanks to the fact that the magnetic field of the sensor does not limit the oscillations of the strings as with passive sensors, especially due to the higher sensitivity itself. The better ability to wake up the lamp amplifier with a higher output signal and the consequent easier achievement of the required level of distortion is also quite obvious.

EMG 81TW
The Humbucker EMG 81 TW takes the classic design of an active EMG sensor to a whole new level. The new design is now maximally flexible, mainly thanks to two sound modes integrated in one sensor.
The first mode is identical to the original EMG 81 humbucker - it provides a great aggressive metal crunch that has made these pickups so famous in decades of production. The second "Single Coil" mode is a novelty that adds a full clear tone to the sensor with a large dose of penetration.
The sensor also has two independent internal preamps, ideally suited to the needs of both types of sound, making it slightly higher than previous EMG models.
The Push / Pull potentiometer can be easily switched between the two modes.
He was fitted into his instruments by, for example: Paul Allender (Cradle of Filth), Anders Nystrom (Katatonia, Bloodbath), Andrew Craighan (My Dying Bride), Jack Owen (Deicide, Adrift), Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek (Vader).

EMG 89
Two sensors in one package, the EMG 89. Under its "hood" there is a strong humbucker, corresponding to the character of the EMG 85 model, as well as a single-coil sensor with an Alnico magnet, which is based on the EMG-SA type. Pull the potentiometer Volume (included) to switch between two completely different sounds, in both modes the signal is completely clear, free of hum, noise and other distracting attributes that are otherwise typical of passive Single Coil pickups, such as Glenn Tipton ( Judas Priest), David Shankle (Manowar), Anders Nystrom (Katatonia, Bloodbath).

Schecter Locking lockable tuning mechanism
Prestigious models are equipped with a high-quality lockable Schecter Locking mechanism, which reduces the need to "bend and wrap" the string around the guide pin to the bare minimum. Thanks to this, the tuning stability is significantly increased even with more vigorous Bending techniques and when using tremolo, and also the life of the strings is extended, especially with regard to their cracking.
