Description
Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder PT FR S Guitar SFG
The Sun Valley Super Shredder PT FR S is built for players who demand speed and stability on stage. Its Thin 'C' maple neck with 22 X-Jumbo frets cuts fatigue during marathon sets and high-speed passage work. Pair that with a mahogany body and the exclusive Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo, and you get the tuning lock you need for aggressive dive-bombs and whammy abuse without losing intonation. The active electronics mean sustained output and harmonic control—exactly what live performance demands.
Playability & Feel
The neck depth of .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret sits right in the hand for rapid position shifts and legato runs. 22 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius let you dig in hard without choking bends, while the 1.625" Floyd Rose Special nut locks strings in place so they stay where you put them across the entire 25.5" scale—critical for heavy riffing and stay-in-tune reliability gig after gig.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG Retro Active Hot 70 bridge pickup dishes out aggressive output built for cutting through a mix in any room, while the Sustainiac neck pickup delivers harmonic feedback and sustain for solos that breathe. Full control sits at your fingertips: Independent Volume/Volume controls, a 3-Way Pickup Switch, a 2-Way On-Off Sustainiac Switch, and a 3-Way Sustainiac Mode Switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) let you sculpt your voice on the fly. The Double 9-volt Clip-in Battery Compartment keeps the active circuit alive through long rehearsals and extended sets.
