Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S guitar in Gloss White

Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S – Gloss White

The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S is a recording-ready instrument built around a thin 'C' maple neck and mahogany body designed to cut through dense mixes and sustain long under the microscope of studio tracking. This model combines a locking tremolo system with active and passive pickup options, making it ideal for capturing modern metal, progressive rock, and extended-range guitar parts with tuning integrity and harmonic clarity. The Gloss White finish provides visual distinction in your studio while the bolt-on construction ensures a direct, focused signal path from string to preamp.

Playability & Hardware

The 25.5" scale length and thin 'C' neck profile with 24 X-Jumbo frets streamline multi-take tracking sessions and reduce hand fatigue during long recording runs, while the wider fret spacing accommodates precise intonation across complex riff work. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo (Schecter exclusive variant) locks in tuning stability when layering tracks with aggressive whammy effects, while the Floyd Rose Special locking nut at 1.625" width holds pitch consistency through full tremolo dives and pulls—critical for maintaining phase coherence across multiple guitar passes.

Tone & Electronics

The guitar pairs an EMG Retro Active Hot 70 humbucker at the bridge with a Sustainiac neck pickup, offering both punch-forward rhythmic response for layered sections and feedback-sustain capabilities for lead takes that demand presence and sustain without resorting to compression alone. A 2-way on/off Sustainiac switch lets you engage the neck pickup's sustain mode independently within a session, while dual volume controls and a 3-way pickup selector provide quick tonal shifts across rhythm and lead takes without re-patching. The double 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers both active systems and supports extended studio sessions between battery changes.
