Schecter RavenDark V FR Abbath Signature Electric Guitar in Gloss Black w/ Silver Pin Stripes

The RavenDark V FR Abbath Signature is built to live on stage and in the hands of touring musicians. Its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and compound-radius ebony fretboard let you move seamlessly from open-position chords to aggressive lead work without thinking about the instrument. The modified V-style body carved from mahogany balances perfectly whether you're standing through a two-hour set or dialed in during rehearsal, while the gloss black finish with silver pinstripes and beveled edges commands visual presence under the lights. Engineered in South Korea with meticulous attention to hardware and electronics, this instrument delivers precision and clarity across the full frequency spectrum when it matters most.

Playability & Feel

The 25.5" scale length paired with an ultra-thin "C" neck measuring 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the twelfth fret eliminates hand fatigue during marathon sessions. The 12" to 16" compound radius ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets locks in comfortable barre chording while delivering fast, clean single-note articulation under your fingers, and mother-of-pearl RavenDark inlays paired with glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keep you oriented on stage without visual distraction.

Tone & Electronics

The EMG 66 active humbucker in the neck position combined with an EMG 57-F at the bridge produces articulate, high-output tones that cut through a mix with minimal noise—equally responsive to clean articulation and saturated distortion when you push the amp. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking tremolo and matching Floyd Rose locking nut hold pitch stability through aggressive dive-bombs and extended use, while the 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active electronics with rock-solid reliability from first song to last.

The Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking tremolo paired with a matching locking nut locks the strings at both the bridge and headstock, maintaining pitch stability even under aggressive tremolo use and divebombs.
