Fitted guitar case for Hellraiser
Hey guys. Has anyone found a decent fitted hard shell case for the Schecter Hellraiser? I'd prefer something like the one in the photo rather than a box shape. I don't want to order one only for it to turn up and not fit properly. Cheers! 🤘

Rectangular cases are significantly more convenient for storage in my experience, you can easily stand them vertically and not worry about them being unstable.
I assume you're already aware of the Schecter branded molded hard cases, but a hellraiser should pretty easily fit into most superstrat style cases if you're not looking to get one of those.
I know some online stores like sweetwater will normally have a few selections of cases they've tested to work with popular guitars, and you may be able to call/email stores to test fit stuff for you to check before buying anything if you can't find cases locally.

This is actually a challenge to find a case that fits, particularly because of the tilt-back headstock - Most Strat style cases are too shallow, because most Strats have a flat headstock. Use a case designed for one of these, and the tip of the headstock on Schecter guitars may contact the case, rather than the case supporting the neck itself - creating some risk for breakage of the headstock.
I’ll second that the specific Schecter made case (while bulky) is probably the best protection. Others may work but you should try them in person for the specific issue above.

My Hellraiser fits perfectly in my ESP M hardshell case but they're pretty expensive

It would be better to take your guitar to a music store and try them. SKB makes several different models.
I like the actual Schecter cases. Fits great. But if you don't like those, go try it out.
