Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set-neck construction give this Avenger a thick, sustaining midrange, while the 25.5" scale and ebony fingerboard tighten up the low end and keep note definition crisp under high gain. The active Apocalypse-VI bridge pickup pushes hard for palm-muted rhythm work and cutting leads, and the Sustainiac in the neck position holds notes indefinitely with selectable fundamental, mix, or harmonic modes for feedback-driven melodies and swells. With a Floyd Rose 1500 and stainless steel jumbo frets, it's aimed squarely at modern metal, hard rock, and shred playing where dive-bomb tremolo work and fast legato lines are part of the vocabulary.
Schecter Avenger FR-S Guitar Satin Candy Apple Red B-Stock
The Avenger FR-S puts a thin "C" neck profile with a compound radius ebony fingerboard directly in your hands—a neck that stays comfortable from open position through the 24th fret. Its set-neck with Ultra Access construction balances fast access to upper frets with the sustain and resonance of a mahogany body reinforced by carbon fiber rods. Built for gigging musicians and studio players who demand speed, tuning stability, and expressive tonal range in a single instrument.
Playability & Feel
The 25.5" scale combined with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard creates a fast, responsive playing surface that rewards both precision technique and aggressive attack. Neck dimensions of .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret provide the right thickness for control without sacrificing comfort. Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge deliver the professional-grade stability and tremolo responsiveness live players rely on night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI™ bridge pickup cuts through a mix with powerful rhythm and lead tones, while the Sustainiac neck pickup unlocks infinite sustain and harmonic feedback through its 3-Way Sustainiac mode switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic). Command your sound with Volume/Tone/3-Way pickup switch, 2-Way Sustainiac on-off switch, and a Grip Tip Speed knob, all backed by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment.
