Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set neck with quilted maple top give this Schecter a thick midrange foundation with added top-end definition, while the ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale keep fast riffing tight and articulate. The USA Apocalypse-VI bridge pickup pushes aggressive, cutting high-end bite suited to modern metal rhythm work and lead playing, and the Sustainiac neck unit adds infinite sustain with selectable fundamental, mix, or harmonic modes for feedback-style leads and ambient textures. With a Floyd Rose 1500 bridge and locking nut, it also handles dive bombs and pitch manipulation for players who lean on the whammy bar.
Schecter E-1 FR S SE Guitar Green Burst
The E-1 FR S Special Edition sits comfortably in your hands with its thin "C" neck profile and expertly contoured body designed for extended playing sessions. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access lets you reach those high frets without compromise, while the quilted maple top in trans green burst commands attention on stage. This is a serious instrument built for players pursuing advanced features like onboard sustainiac technology and Floyd Rose bridge control for live reliability and tonal flexibility.
Playability & Build Quality
The mahogany 3-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods stays stable through touring and temperature changes, anchored by the 25.5" scale. The thin "C" shape measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, striking the right balance between comfort and upper-fret access. 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard with 12"-16" compound radius deliver smooth action across the entire neck, while mother of pearl block inlays and luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keep you locked in visually under stage lights.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI™ bridge pickup paired with the Sustainiac® neck pickup cuts through a mix with aggressive high-end bite while sustain lets you shape harmonic response on the fly. Complete command over your sound comes via dedicated controls for volume, tone, intensity, a 3-way pickup switch, a 2-way on-off sustainiac switch, and a 3-way sustainiac mode switch (fundamental-mix-harmonic), all powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment for the sustainiac system.
