Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings and modern metal?
The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR excels in drop tunings with its high-output EMG actives and Floyd Rose system, giving you extreme tuning stability even during aggressive bending and vibrato use. The CR-6 handles heavy riffs well but lacks the tremolo system that modern metal players often exploit.
What is the key difference in bridge design and why does it matter?
The Shredder uses a Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo, enabling pitch drops and vibrato effects; the CR-6 uses a hardtail Schecter Custom bridge with string-thru-body design that maximizes sustain and eliminates tremolo drift. Choose tremolo for expression, hardtail for stability and sustain.
How do the pickups and tone character differ?
The Shredder's EMG Retro Active Hot 70 pickups are active, high-output, and aggressive—ideal for high-gain and djent. The CR-6's Schecter USA Apocalypse-II passive humbuckers deliver a thicker, warmer tone with natural compression, better for classic hard rock and studio warmth without battery dependency.
Are both B-stock units playable despite their cosmetic issues?
Yes. The Shredder has a finish crack in the neck pocket but is fully functional and new. The CR-6 has minor white spots under the finish at the headstock and plays and sounds flawlessly. Both are fully playable with only superficial cosmetic imperfections.
