Description
Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S Guitar Riviera Blue Left Hand
The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S is a left-handed instrument engineered for recording complex arrangements, layered textures, and expressive lead work. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets enable precise tracking and controlled performance takes, while the Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo maintains perfect intonation across punch-in sessions and multi-part vocal-style guitar lines. The Riviera Blue finish and ebony fretboard signal professional-grade construction backed by solid Indonesian manufacturing.
Tracking & Responsiveness
The thin 'C' neck shape measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, facilitating clean articulation during fast fingerpicking patterns and efficient fret navigation for overdub sessions across the 25.5" scale. 24 X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with a 14" radius provide consistent contact for tight string-to-fret engagement without phase issues, while the offset/reverse dot inlays maintain visual orientation during demanding passage work.
Tonal Palette & Signal Chain
The EMG Retro Active Hot 70 bridge pickup delivers high-output aggression for cutting rhythm layers and lead articulation in dense mixes, while the Sustainiac® neck pickup adds harmonic sustain and feedback control through dedicated switching for texture and soundscape creation. Three switchable Sustainiac modes (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) and dual volume controls provide extensive tonal shaping within a single session, powered by a double 9-volt battery compartment for consistent active electronics performance across all recording takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does left-handed configuration mean for this guitar?
This guitar is fully mirrored for left-handed players: the tuners, controls, and body contour are all oriented for playing left-handed. The reverse/offset dot inlays are positioned to match left-handed fretting-hand orientation.
How does the Sustainiac neck pickup differ from the bridge pickup?
The EMG Retro Active Hot 70 bridge pickup delivers high-output aggression for heavy riffs and leads. The Sustainiac neck pickup adds harmonic sustain and feedback control with three switchable modes—Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic—letting you extend sustain and add harmonic richness to melodies and solos without changing pickups.
What is the neck profile and is it fast for shredding?
The thin 'C' profile measures 0.787 inches at the first fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret, designed for rapid position shifts and legato work. Combined with 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 25.5-inch scale and a 14-inch radius, it provides a forgiving surface for technical playing without sacrificing definition.
How does the Floyd Rose Special tremolo stay in tune?
The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo paired with a locking nut at 1.625 inches width locks the strings at the headstock and bridge, preventing tuning slip during aggressive vibrato use and divebombs. This is the same locking system trusted by touring metal and progressive players.
What is included in the battery compartment and how long does it last?
The double 9-volt battery compartment powers the active EMG electronics. Battery life depends on your playing volume and Sustainiac usage; typical active pickup batteries last several months with regular playing.
