Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal?
Both excel at metal. The Super Shredder FR S leans harder into saturation and articulation for extreme metal and djent with its high-output humbuckers and whammy potential. The Sunset-6 Extreme LH takes a more balanced approach with punchy mids and versatility, suiting traditional hard rock and metal equally well.
What's the key difference in hardware?
The Super Shredder uses a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo for dive bombs and pitch effects, while the Sunset-6 Extreme uses a Schecter Diamond Hardtail Plus with string-through body for tuning stability and simplicity.
Is the Sunset-6 Extreme only for left-handed players?
Yes—the Sunset-6 Extreme LH is explicitly a left-handed model. If you are right-handed, you must choose the Super Shredder or find a different right-handed Schecter.
Which neck is faster for shredding?
The Super Shredder is explicitly designed with a thin, fast neck and low action for effortless shredding. The Sunset-6 Extreme has an Ultra Thin C-shaped neck that is also fast, but the Super Shredder's lower action and geometry are optimized specifically for high-speed lead work.
