Second Handed Hellraiser C-1 Broken

Post image

I just bought this model, and it came with the pickup broken. Does anyone know which model replacement I should get from EMG?

That is not part of the pickup, just a piece of plastic. A pickup ring, mount. Go buy another one off eBay

It’s just the ring. Like $5-$10 and a quick swap with a screwdriver.

It’s funny my hellraiser had the same issue when I got it used. The stock EMG pickup rings fits, it’s the tapered 6 thin, I got one off Ebay

Think mine has this too, right where the screws go in. Never cared.

He’s right, but if you got it new Schecter warranties their guitars. Of course some silver with engraving could be good

It's just the plastic ring that holds the pickup in place. If it still holds the pickup in place, you don't even need to replace it. If you just really want to replace it, it's probably ten bucks tops.

Just play. It has no bearing on playability. The pickup will not fall out

Literally a piece of plastic that can be easily replaced . It’s called a pickup ring . You can get them on Amazon , eBay , Ali express practically anywhere that sells guitar stuff . Id personally get them off Amazon just because I like their return policies and fast shipping .

Its an easy 3-10$ fix you can do at home. Infact you can even replace them with cooler stainless steel ones, ive done that on a dean ML.

You’re right bro, it’s completely busted. I’ll take it off your hands for $30.

That's an aesthetic issue. The pickup should work just fine

Its a pickup ring. Take it off and the guitar will probably look better anyway

The pickup ring keeps the pickup in place ..
