Schecter Nikki Stringfield A-6 FR-S Guitar Maiden Mist B-Stock 0061
Description
Schecter Nikki Stringfield A-6 FR-S Guitar Maiden Mist B-Stock
The Nikki Stringfield A-6 FR-S is built for players who demand speed and precision on stage. Its ultra-thin neck profile and lightweight swamp ash construction deliver an exceptionally fast, responsive playing experience without sacrificing stability. This signature model combines innovative hardware, premium tonewoods, and distinctive visual identity for progressive and experimental playing styles, all at significant savings in B-stock condition.
Playability & Construction
The ultra-thin "C" neck shape with measurements of .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret keeps hand fatigue minimal during extended sets. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access paired with a 25.5" scale and 24 X-Jumbo frets delivers both the stability professionals expect and seamless upper-fret access for lead work. A Maple/Purpleheart 5-pc neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists the warping that can plague instruments on the road, while the ebony fretboard with 12"-16" compound radius feels comfortable across the entire fingerboard from open strings to the highest registers.
Electronics & Hardware
The Schecter USA NS-1 bridge pickup paired with a Sustainiac neck pickup gives you real tonal range with dedicated 2-way and 3-way Sustainiac mode switches (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) for infinite sustain and textural exploration that cuts through a live mix. Hardware includes a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut, Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners, and a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment—all the professional-grade tuning stability and wireless sustain capability gigging musicians depend on night after night.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional and professionally setup, but carries minor cosmetic imperfections from open-box handling or display. The Maiden Mist finish and all hardware, electronics, and playability remain uncompromised, offering significant savings on an otherwise new professional instrument.
Is this guitar suitable for blues or traditional jazz?
No — this model is purpose-built for progressive, experimental, and studio-focused extended-range work. The high-output Sustainiac pickup, infinite sustain modes, and articulate highs are optimized for complex textures and textural exploration rather than the smooth, warm tones favored in blues and jazz.
What makes the neck profile special for extended play?
The ultra-thin C-profile measures just .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th fret, minimizing hand fatigue during long sessions. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access combined with the 24 X-Jumbo frets and 12"-16" compound radius radius makes upper-fret access effortless while maintaining comfort across the entire range.
How does the Sustainiac pickup mode switching work?
The Sustainiac neck pickup offers three dedicated modes — Fundamental (sustains the pitch you play), Mix (blends the fundamental with harmonics), and Harmonic (emphasizes overtones for textural effects). Combined with a 9-volt battery, this lets you generate infinite sustain and explore harmonic possibilities without feedback or natural decay limits.
What tuning stability can I expect live and in the studio?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut paired with Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a carbon-fiber reinforced Maple/Purpleheart neck deliver professional-grade tuning stability across extended sessions, heavy experimentation, and repeated takes.
