I just got it, and i'm already head over heals in love with her. I think it plays great. The action isn't the greatest, but i believe after the gloss finish is worn down a little on the neck, that'll change. It's a great guitar for any style of music.... LOVE IT

This guitar is amazing. My only complaint is that the action isn't all that great. My little brother has a schecter gryphon and it has better action than mine. Other than that though it's awesome. Great for any style of music.

The Schecter C1 Hellraiser is a metal beast. I owned my a little over a year before I sold it to upgrade to the 7-string version with the FR. I couldn't have been any happier with the guitar as a whole. Fantastic pickups, fast neck, incredible looks, this thing has it all. I've played it on stage so many times and it just commands all of the attention during sweeping/shred solos. Highly recommended for guitarists of all skill levels.

Best (PERIOD)

Reviewer's Play Style: Alternative, Sabbath, Southern metal
This is the best guitar ever. I play at least 6 different guitars a day considering I work at a guitar shop, and this blows every other guitar that I play out of the water. I usually play some alternative rock with my band but we also drift into some Sabbath sounds and this guitar is great for both. The only problem is that there is a lot of feedback coming from the pick-ups but this is because they are so powerful. The way I fix the feedback at practice is I turn one of the Volumes down, considering which pick-up I'm using and use the pick-up selector as a "kill witch" when I'm not playing. Overall a great guitar for the price and the best quallity. Great Job Schecter.
