Schecter Apocalypse Guitars for Metal Players

Walk onstage with an Apocalypse and it looks like it has already survived the tour. The swamp ash bodies wear distressed Red Reign, Rusty Grey or Carbon Black finishes, and the guitars are built around Schecter USA Apocalypse pickups chosen to keep heavy, down-tuned rhythms tight and defined through a loud band mix.

Pick your platform by how you play. The C-1 is the six-string workhorse, the C-7 gives seven-string players the extended low range, and the FR S models add a locking-style Floyd Rose tremolo for lead players who live on the whammy bar. Lefties are not left out, with a C-1 FR S Apocalypse LH in the mix.

At LV Guitars, the series suits gigging metal players and collectors who like a bold finish, with pricing running from about $845 to $1,649. Check the live grid below for what is on the rack now, including occasional B-Stock pieces.
