Description
Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR Guitar Exotic Black Limba
The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR is built for speed and precision on stage. Its thin "C" neck cuts fatigue during marathon sets of rapid technical passages and extended soloing, while the exotic black limba body produces a bright, articulate tone with excellent sustain and natural resonance. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge locks in your tuning through aggressive whammy work and dive bombs, making this instrument reliable under gigging conditions and responsive enough to articulate every nuance across metal and hard rock styles.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck profile measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, carving out a fast, comfortable grip that reduces hand strain during extended lead work. A 25.5" scale length with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard with 12"–16" compound radius handles both fluid legato passages and smooth, wide bends across the entire fingerboard. Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a Floyd Rose 1500 Series nut hold tuning rock-solid, while luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keep you oriented on stage in any lighting.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Sunset Strip™ bridge pickup and Schecter USA Pasadena™ neck pickup deliver thick, responsive output with clear articulation and natural dynamics that cut through a live mix. A 5-way pickup switch with independent volume and tone controls lets you dial in anything from bright, aggressive lead tones to warm, saturated rhythm sounds without reaching for an amp knob. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge maintains tuning stability through aggressive whammy effects and deep dive bombs, keeping you performance-ready night after night.
