Schecter Guitar Research

collapse expand iconDescription

The updated Hellcat VI from Schecter Guitar Research is an inspiring game-changing tool for the adventurous musician, regardless of musical genre. The strings on the Hellcat VI are tuned like a guitar, but down to the same octave as a bass, empowering the player with sonic choices that aren’t possible on ordinary guitars or basses. The 30" scale-length bolt-on maple neck is reinforced with carbon fiber rods to provide unerring stability, and then topped with a silky-smooth 22-fret pau ferro fretboard.

The comfort-contoured swamp ash body provides classic good-looks and quick tonal response with a tightened low-end and crystalline high-end, to create a perfectly-balanced tonal foundation for the low-frequency voice of the instrument. A TonePros locking bridge system, GraphTech nut, and three Schecter US Custom Shop MonsterTone Stack pickups provide the robust, full sound of a humbucker in a single-coil format, with coil-split slider switches for each pickup, and a passive variable treble/bass cut control. Available in show-stopping ultrathin Ivory Pearl and 3-Tone Sunburst Pearl finishes.
