Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and neck with a flamed maple top give this Explorer-shaped E-1 a thick, warm midrange foundation, while the 25.5" scale and pale moon ebony fretboard tighten up the low end and add clarity to the attack. The Seymour Duncan '78 bridge humbucker leans into classic hot-rodded rock crunch, from chunky rhythm work to cutting leads, and the Sustainiac neck pickup opens the door to endless singing sustain, feedback swells, and ambient textures via its two mini switches. With 24 jumbo frets, a 12"-16" compound radius, and a Floyd Rose 1500 locking bridge, it suits hard rock, metal, and lead players who want dive-bomb vibrato and unrestricted upper-fret access.
Schecter E-1 FR-S Electro Resin Guitar Transparent Blue B-Stock 0499
The E-1 Electro-Resin captures the iconic Explorer body with a thin "C"-profile mahogany neck engineered for fast tracking across all 24 jumbo frets during tracking and layering sessions. Its flamed maple top with resin-filled fractal burns and transparent blue finish delivers visual character that translates directly to recordings. This B-Stock unit is priced significantly below standard retail—note that it exhibits severe finish cracks in the neck pocket area that are tactilely noticeable, though the electronics and hardware remain fully functional.
Tracking & Construction
Built on a resonant mahogany body with a 3-piece mahogany neck, the E-1 features a 24-fret pale moon ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays and a 12"-16" compound radius for consistent response across the entire neck during recording sessions. The 25.5" scale length and 41.3mm nut width offer standard tuning stability and controlled articulation, while the deep insert joint with ultra access design facilitates higher-register overdubs with minimal hand strain.
Electronics & Sonic Palette
A Seymour Duncan '78 bridge pickup with chrome cover captures aggressive, overdriven rock tones and punchy rhythm layers, paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup for drone textures, ambient pads, and harmonic sustain effects in the mix. Two dedicated Sustainiac mini switches and a full complement of volume, tone, and 3-way pickup selector controls enable rapid tonal switching between takes, supported by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment for the Sustainiac circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and what is the cosmetic issue on this unit?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional and plays as new; this unit has severe finish cracks in the neck pocket area that are cosmetically noticeable to the touch but do not affect electronics, hardware, playability, or tone. It is priced significantly below standard retail as a result.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The Seymour Duncan '78 bridge pickup delivers hot-rodded crunch, the 24 jumbo frets and fast C-profile neck support aggressive playing, and the Floyd Rose 1500 bridge enables tuning stability for heavy riffs and dives. The Sustainiac neck pickup adds harmonic layers for progressive and ambient texture.
How do the Sustainiac switches work, and what do they add tonally?
Two dedicated Sustainiac mini switches control the harmonic sustain circuit powered by a 9-volt battery clip; they allow you to layer ambient textures, infinite sustain, and harmonic feedback on top of the bridge pickup's crunch without affecting the core tone. The Sustainiac neck pickup and switches are essential for progressive passages and textural breaks.
What neck profile and fretboard radius does this guitar have?
The E-1 has a thin C-profile mahogany neck (20mm at the 1st fret, 22mm at the 12th) paired with a 12"-16" compound radius on a pale moon ebony fretboard. This design balances fast grip and fluid reach across all 24 jumbo frets, with no dead spots from neck to body.
How does the nut width and scale length compare to other extended-range guitars?
At 41.3mm nut width and 25.5" scale length, the E-1 sits in the modern shred-metal standard, offering familiar ergonomics and a defined low end without the extreme width or length of true extended-range 7-strings. The deep insert joint ensures comfortable upper-fret access to all 24 jumbo frets.
