Schecter E-1 FR S SE Guitar Trans Purple Burst B-Stock 2241
Description
Schecter E-1 FR S SE Guitar Trans Purple Burst B-Stock 2241
This unplayed E-1 FR-S Special Edition delivers the responsiveness and comfort of a thin 'C' neck profile paired with the precision of a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge system. The Trans Purple Burst finish with quilted maple top presents striking visual appeal, while the set-neck construction with ultra access ensures effortless upper-fret navigation. A minor binding discoloration on the player-side body is the only mark on this otherwise excellent condition instrument—a significant savings on a professionally spec'd platform guitar.
Playability & Feel
The mahogany three-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists warping while maintaining tonal resonance, complemented by an ebony fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets that reward precise technique. Neck dimensions of 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth fret with a 12"-16" compound radius balance comfort across the entire 25.5" scale, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a locking nut ensure tuning stability through aggressive tremolo work.
Tone & Electronics
The pairing of a Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI humbucker at the bridge with a Sustainiac neck pickup creates remarkable tonal range, from articulate high-output rhythm textures to infinite sustain and feedback control. Dual three-way mini switches govern the Sustainiac modes and activation, while a standard three-way toggle and independent volume and tone controls deliver straightforward operation without compromising sonic flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and how does it affect this guitar?
B-Stock indicates this unit is fully functional and carries complete manufacturer warranty coverage but has minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, binding discoloration on the player-side body.
