Sound & Tone
The active EMG 81 in the bridge gives a tight, high-output attack with clipped note definition and a very low noise floor, while the EMG 85 in the neck fills out into a thicker, rounder lead voice — a pairing that thrives on high-gain metal rhythm work and sustained solos. Mahogany body and neck with an ebony fretboard keep the low end firm and the top end focused rather than glassy, and the 25.5" scale adds string tension and clarity for fast picking and drop-tuned riffing. The Floyd Rose 1500 floating bridge extends that voice into dive bombs, flutters and wide vibrato, so it suits players whose phrasing leans on pitch manipulation. With 24 X-Jumbo frets, a 16" radius and Ultra Access set-neck joint, it is aimed squarely at aggressive rock and metal styles that spend time above the 12th fret.
Schecter Signature Tommy Victor Devil FR Electric Guitar in Satin Finish
The Tommy Victor Devil-FR delivers a fast, responsive tracking platform built around a thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets that capture precise articulation in the mix. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway provides comfortable upper-fret reach, while the Floyd Rose 1500 Series floating bridge enables dramatic pitch-bending and tremolo effects for expressive layering and post-production flexibility. This instrument is engineered for aggressive, textured tones that cut through dense arrangements.
Playability & Construction
The mahogany 3-piece neck and ebony fretboard combine for a responsive, fast-playing platform optimized for tight, articulate takes. Neck dimensions of .787" at the 1st fret taper to .866" at the 12th fret for consistent finger placement across sessions. The 16" fretboard radius and 24 X-Jumbo frets support both lead work and full-chord playing across the 25.5" scale, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access provides seamless access to higher positions for varied tonal zones.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 85 neck pickup deliver high-output, articulate tones with minimal noise floor—essential for clean recording and layering—controlled via independent volume controls and a master tone control with 3-way switching. The 9-volt battery compartment powers both pickups for consistent active performance and dynamic response across recording sessions and genre applications.

Independent volume controls for each pickup plus a master tone control with 3-way switching give you tonal flexibility across metal, hard rock, and progressive genres.
Can I perform dramatic pitch bends and tremolo effects with this guitar?

What skill level is this guitar designed for?
This is an advanced to professional-level instrument. The thin neck profile, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and Floyd Rose hardware demand precise technique and are best suited to experienced players comfortable with fast lead work and floating bridges.
What fretboard material and scale length does it have?
The fretboard is ebony with a 16" radius and 25.5" scale length, accommodating both lead work and full-chord voicings. Ebony is a dense, durable fretboard material that supports aggressive playing and ages gracefully.
