Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 012
Description
Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S Guitar Satin Black B-Stock
The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S is engineered for capturing articulate lead recordings and session work demanding fast fret navigation and pitch stability. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets enable precise finger positioning for clean tracking, while the Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo maintains tuning integrity across multiple takes and studio passes. This South Korean-made instrument delivers the recording clarity and tonal definition serious producers expect from a dedicated lead guitar.
Playability & Hardware
The 25.5" scale neck tapers from 0.787" at the first fret to 0.866" at the twelfth, creating a responsive feel that translates well to both rhythm layers and lead overdubs. 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius deliver clear articulation and sustain for recording bends and vibrato without finger fatigue during extended sessions, while the Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo with Floyd Rose Special nut locks in tuning stability for consistent tracking across multiple passes. The 2-Way Adjustable truss rod with heel access supports quick neck relief adjustments between session setups.
Tone & Electronics
The bridge position houses an EMG Retro Active Hot 70 for high-output lead tones that cut through dense mixes, while the neck features a Sustainiac® pickup with separate on-off and mode switching for layering infinite sustain effects into arrangements. The control layout includes dedicated Volume/Volume/3-Way Pickup Switch controls plus 2-Way On-Off Sustainiac Switch and 3-Way Sustainiac Mode Switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic), all powered by a Double 9-volt Clip-in Battery Compartment. Metal knurled knobs with set screws maintain precise settings across recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with all original features and professional playability intact; it has minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect tone or performance. The savings reflect the cosmetic condition alone, not any defect in construction or hardware.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S is specifically designed for metal, hard rock, progressive, and shred styles. The EMG Retro Active Hot 70 bridge pickup delivers high-output aggression, the Floyd Rose Special tremolo maintains tuning under heavy use, and the thin 'C' neck with 24 X-Jumbo frets supports rapid position changes and extended techniques.
What is the Sustainiac pickup and how do I use it?
The Sustainiac is a neck-position pickup that generates infinite sustain and harmonic effects. It has a separate on-off switch and a 3-way mode selector (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic) to shape the sustain character, controlled by dedicated switches on the electronics.
How does the Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' tremolo compare, and will it hold tuning?
The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo is Schecter's exclusive refinement designed for pitch stability even under aggressive tremolo abuse. The locking nut and refined pivot system keep tuning rock-solid, making it reliable for heavy performance and recording use.
What pickups are in this guitar?
The bridge features an EMG Retro Active Hot 70 for high-output, articulate lead tone; the neck uses a Sustainiac pickup with mode switching for sustain and harmonic effects. Both are active electronics powered by a dual 9-volt battery compartment.
