C1 Hellraiser Floyd Rose:

looks like silk sheets billowing in a breeze ...........

When does it arrive ???? If you need to make room you can send back the Chibson -- for a fool refund minus the freight and 94% restocking fee..... ;)

It's funny that I couldn't sell my 2016 Gibson SG for $500 with case and I've recently turned down $2,000 offers on the Chibson even after telling people it's a fake. If you let anyone play it, they dont want to give it back.

I'm looking to sell the 2016 Gibson Les Paul 50's Tribute to add this Schecter C1-FR to my stock of working guitars.

The Gibson is great, perfect setup and full copper shielding, but I just don't play it as much as these two guitars.

Up until this recent exhaustion episode, these guitars were working and earning money 6 days a week.

Theres just something about the feel and tone that I can't put a finger on.

@Mitch Pearrow SJMP and @Don O have both played the replicas and may be able to explain it better...

This model uses a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo and EMG 81/89 pickup combination.

Neck is a glued-in, 3 piece mahogany featuring specs of .787" @ 1st Fret (20mm) and .866" @ 12th Fret (22mm) with a 14" radius rosewood board and two-way adjustable truss rod.

It has 2 volumes, both with push/pulls for coil tapping, and a master tone with a three way switch.

That would be the EMG 81/89TW set that they have been fitting to Hellraisers for the last ten years. Apparently it is not a true coil split but basically two pickups in one, and the 'single coil' option of the coil split is no more noisy than a regular EMG 81, at least not on that Solo-6 Hellraiser I tried

I didn't know that!!!

My 2005 C1 Hellraiser was a pre-production sample and it was fitted with 81/85 I seem to recall...

What's your opinion of these pickups in humbucker mode???
 
From what I can tell the 81TW sounds a lot like an 81 and the 89 sounds like a 85 in full mode

These pickups are a bit thicker/taller than the 81/85 pickups to fit in the extra coil

As they are effectively two pickups in one, rather than split one pickup the switch effectively turns one pickup on and the other off
