Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 011
Description
Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S Guitar Satin Black B-Stock
The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S is engineered around speed and stability for session work demanding rapid tracking and extended lead passages. Its thin 'C' neck profile tapers from 0.787" to 0.866" across the fretboard, creating a fast, comfortable platform that rewards rapid position changes and extended techniques. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo holds pitch rock-solid through aggressive use, making this South Korean-built instrument a dedicated tracking platform for modern lead playing and modern shredding applications.
Playability & Hardware for the Studio
The 25.5" scale length combined with 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius delivers aggressive articulation and smooth bending across all ranges, translating clearly to recordings. Offset/reverse dot inlays mark positions clearly for accurate performance capture, while the Floyd Rose Special nut at 1.625" width pairs with the locking tremolo system to eliminate tuning drift across multiple takes. The 2-Way Adjustable truss rod with heel access allows straightforward neck relief adjustments without removing the neck, keeping your tracking sessions productive.
Tone & Electronics for Mix Integration
An EMG Retro Active Hot 70 in the bridge position delivers high-output aggression that cuts through dense mixes, while a Sustainiac® OEM SYN neck pickup provides infinite sustain effects with dedicated mode switching (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) for layered textures and effects processing. Dual volume controls, 3-way pickup selector, 2-way Sustainiac on-off switch, and 3-way Sustainiac mode switch give precise command over tone shaping during recording and overdub sessions, powered by a double 9-volt clip-in battery compartment.
