Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S Guitar Satin Black B-Stock
The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S is a high-performance shred machine built around speed and versatility. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets make rapid position changes and extended techniques feel natural, while the Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo keeps tuning rock-solid through aggressive use. This South Korean-made instrument delivers the responsiveness serious players expect from a dedicated lead guitar.
Playability & Hardware
The 25.5" scale neck tapers from 0.787" at the first fret to 0.866" at the twelfth, providing a fast, comfortable feel across all ranges. 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius give you aggressive bite and define without sacrificing smooth bends, while the Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo with Floyd Rose Special nut ensures pitch stability even under heavy use. The 2-Way Adjustable truss rod with heel access allows straightforward neck relief adjustments.
Tone & Electronics
The bridge position features an EMG Retro Active Hot 70 for high-output aggression, while the neck houses a Sustainiac® pickup with separate on-off and mode switching for infinite sustain effects. The electronics include dedicated Volume/Volume/3-Way Pickup Switch controls plus 2-Way On-Off Sustainiac Switch and 3-Way Sustainiac Mode Switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic), all powered by a Double 9-volt Clip-in Battery Compartment. Metal knurled knobs with set screws provide secure adjustment in performance conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with all original features and professional playability intact; it has minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect tone or performance. The savings reflect the cosmetic condition alone, not any defect in construction or hardware.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR-S is specifically designed for metal, hard rock, progressive, and shred styles. The EMG Retro Active Hot 70 bridge pickup delivers high-output aggression, the Floyd Rose Special tremolo maintains tuning under heavy use, and the thin 'C' neck with 24 X-Jumbo frets supports rapid position changes and extended techniques.
What is the Sustainiac pickup and how do I use it?
The Sustainiac is a neck-position pickup that generates infinite sustain and harmonic effects. It has a separate on-off switch and a 3-way mode selector (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic) to shape the sustain character, controlled by dedicated switches on the electronics.
How does the Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' tremolo compare, and will it hold tuning?
The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo is Schecter's exclusive refinement designed for pitch stability even under aggressive tremolo abuse. The locking nut and refined pivot system keep tuning rock-solid, making it reliable for heavy performance and recording use.
What pickups are in this guitar?
The bridge features an EMG Retro Active Hot 70 for high-output, articulate lead tone; the neck uses a Sustainiac pickup with mode switching for sustain and harmonic effects. Both are active electronics powered by a dual 9-volt battery compartment.
