Hellraiser has a gorgeous, quilted maple top. As a result, you can expect bigger and warmer sound even though the EMG pickups are treble-heavy. In fact, mahogany offers excellent reverberation. The body and neck are made of mahogany wood. The guitar body has a double-cut super-strat shape with a carved top, which is very much associated with the Schecter brand. The make of this guitar makes it really special and unique.
When you split the 89R, you get a Strat-type single-coil tone which is a unique sounding combination. This, in turn, gives you a wider range of possible tones. The pickups are not the classic combination of 81 & 85. The only thing that adds more warmth is that mahogany body, but besides that, get ready for sharp definition. I would describe it as bold, aggressive, and big. This guitar has EMG pickups, which are known for a specific tone. Many guitars in the same price range have similar specs, but the Hellraiser has many cool features and the EMG pickups everyone wants. This is one of the most attractive and well-built guitars for metal.
