Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with a bolt-on maple neck gives this one a punchy, tight low end and clear attack, while the EMG Retro Active Hot 70 in the bridge delivers a hot, focused output with enough clarity for fast riffing and tapping. The Sustainiac in the neck position opens the door to endless sustain and controlled feedback for soaring leads and ambient held notes. With a 25.5" scale, 14" radius, thin 'C' neck, 24 X-Jumbo frets and a Floyd Rose Special locking tremolo, it's built for hard rock and metal players who lean on dive bombs, wide vibrato and high-speed lead work.
Brand new guitar with standard tuning, factory setup, and full manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pickups are in this guitar and how do they sound?
The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S features EMG Retro Active Hot pickups in the bridge and neck positions, designed for high output and aggressive sustain with a tight, articulate midrange. These pickups excel at modern crunch and are optimized for metal and hard rock styles.
Is the Floyd Rose tremolo system easy to maintain and use?
The guitar includes a Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo (a Schecter exclusive) that locks the strings at the nut and bridge for rock-solid tuning stability. The system requires maintenance when changing strings, but it provides reliable pitch control for dive bombs and dramatic effects.
What's the neck feel and fret size?
The thin 'C' shaped neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, paired with 24 X-Jumbo frets and a 14" fretboard radius for fast, comfortable playability. This profile suits players who favor speed and modern metal techniques.
What's included with this guitar?
The guitar arrives fully set up from the factory with a set of Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky strings (.009-.046), factory warranty coverage, and a double 9-volt battery compartment for the active pickups. A hard case is sold separately.
How does this compare to other metal guitars in its class?
The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S competes directly with the Schecter Hellraiser FR, ESP LTD Viper, and Ibanez RGD, offering comparable build quality, high-output electronics, and locking tremolo systems. The key differences lie in pickup flavor (EMG Retro Active Hot), neck profile, and the Schecter-exclusive Hot Rod tremolo design.
