Description
Schecter Riggs Ultra FR-S Guitar Satin Black
The Riggs Ultra FR-S combines aggressive styling with serious hardware and electronics engineered for extended sustain and extreme whammy bar use. Its thin "C" shaped neck profile and Ultra Access body contour deliver comfortable speed and reach across the fretboard, while the Floyd Rose 1500 locking bridge maintains tuning stability even under aggressive tremolo abuse. Built for producers and engineers tracking high-gain sessions that demand tonal versatility and performance reliability.
Construction & Playability
The mahogany body features a set-neck design with Ultra Access and a raised center top contour that balances resonance with ergonomic access to upper frets. The neck pairs three-piece mahogany with carbon fiber reinforcement rods for exceptional stability during recording takes, while the thin "C" profile ensures comfortable hand positioning during extended sessions. The ebony fretboard with 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and a 14-inch radius facilitates smooth bending and rapid position shifts across the 25.5-inch scale length, translating to tighter, more articulate tracking.
Recording & Tone Shaping
The Schecter USA Brimstone™ bridge pickup delivers powerful, articulate output ideal for layering in high-gain sessions, while the Sustainiac neck pickup enables infinite note sustain for ambient textures, atmospheric fills, and soaring lead work. Control over these elements comes via a kill switch, 3-way pickup selector, and two Sustainiac mini-switches, providing extensive tonal flexibility for crafting distinct tones across multiple tracks and performance contexts within a single session.

This model is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and studio sessions. The high-output Brimstone bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup deliver the articulate cleans and infinite sustain those styles demand, while the Floyd Rose 1500 handles aggressive whammy bar use.
How does the Floyd Rose 1500 bridge stay in tune under heavy tremolo use?
