Description
Schecter E-1 FR S Lefty Guitar Trans Purple Burst
This left-handed E-1 FR S captures articulate, defined tones across rhythm and lead tracking with a thin, fast neck profile that minimizes fatigue during long recording sessions. The Thin 'C' neck shape paired with 24 X-Jumbo Stainless Steel frets and a 12"-16" Compound Radius fretboard delivers a responsive playing surface that translates accurately to tape or DAW. The Trans Purple Burst finish over quilted maple top provides a striking aesthetic for studio documentation and live streaming.
Recording Response & Stability
The mahogany neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods resists twisting and locks in stable intonation across takes, while the Set-Neck w/Ultra Access construction balances sustain with upper-fret accessibility for layered tracking. Neck measurements of .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth fret support precise finger placement during punch-ins and overdubs, and the Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners maintain reliable tuning stability between takes.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI™ bridge pickup captures aggressive, articulate high-end detail suited to driven rhythm tones and cutting lead layers, while the Sustainiac® neck pickup with a 9-volt Clip-in Battery Compartment enables infinite sustain and feedback textures through dedicated 2-Way On-Off and 3-Way Mode switches for creative overdub possibilities. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge with a 1.625" nut width handles pitch-shifting effects and subtle vibrato modulation while maintaining tuning integrity across multiple takes.
