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.

Built for players who prioritize 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, 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.
