Description
Schecter E-1 FR S Lefty Guitar Trans Purple Burst
This left-handed E-1 FR S delivers a thin, fast neck profile that feels at home in both high-speed lead work and precision rhythm playing. The Thin 'C' neck shape paired with 24 X-Jumbo Stainless Steel frets and a 12"-16" Compound Radius fretboard creates a responsive playing surface with minimal finger fatigue across the entire range. The Trans Purple Burst finish over quilted maple top presents a striking visual that stands apart from standard offerings.
Playability & Feel
The mahogany neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods resists twisting and maintains stable intonation under string tension, while the Set-Neck w/Ultra Access construction balances sustain with accessibility to upper frets. Neck measurements of .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth fret keep the instrument comfortable for extended sessions, and the Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners provide reliable tuning stability with smooth engagement during live performance.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI™ bridge pickup delivers aggressive, articulate tones suited to high-gain applications, while the Sustainiac® neck pickup with a 9-volt Clip-in Battery Compartment enables infinite sustain and feedback control through dedicated 2-Way On-Off and 3-Way Mode switches. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge with a 1.625" nut width handles aggressive vibrato techniques while maintaining tuning integrity across demanding performances.
