Description
Schecter Nikki Stringfield A-6 FR-S Guitar Maiden Mist
The Schecter Nikki Stringfield A-6 FR-S sits in your hands with immediate comfort—its contoured swamp ash body and ultra-thin "C"-shaped neck profile make marathon gig nights feel effortless. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge delivers the expressive tremolo control and tuning stability you need on stage, while the Sustainiac neck pickup adds creative range for everything from soaring leads to shimmering textures. Built for players serious about high-performance shred and tonal depth, this instrument bridges the gap between precision fretwork and genuine sonic character.
Playability & Construction
The set-neck construction with ultra access join gives you comfortable reach across the entire fretboard, while the ultra-thin "C" shape measuring .748" at the first fret and .787" at the 12th provides a neck that flows fast and responsive under your hands. A 5-piece maple/purpleheart neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods stays true through heavy touring and climate changes while maintaining tonal clarity, paired with a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets that support both aggressive bending and surgical precision across the entire range.
Tone & Electronics
The dual-pickup configuration pairs a Schecter USA NS-1 bridge pickup with a Sustainiac neck pickup, delivering tight articulate attack and harmonic sustain controlled via dedicated mode switching (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic modes). Independent volume, tone, and three-way pickup selection controls sit ready for immediate tonal shaping during your set, while the onboard 9-volt battery powers the Sustainiac system for extended creative expression when you need it.
