Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set neck with a quilted maple top give this E-1 a warm, thick midrange foundation, while the ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale tighten up the attack for clear note definition at high gain. The Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI bridge humbucker is high-output and articulate enough for percussive rhythm work and cutting leads, and the Sustainiac in the neck position adds controllable infinite sustain and feedback for long held notes and ambient textures. With a Floyd Rose 1500 bridge and locking nut for dive-bomb stability plus 24 stainless steel frets and a compound radius, it's aimed squarely at modern metal, hard rock, and technical lead playing.
Schecter E-1 FR S SE Guitar Trans Purple Burst B-Stock 2241
This unplayed E-1 FR-S Special Edition delivers the responsiveness and comfort of a thin 'C' neck profile paired with the precision of a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge system. The Trans Purple Burst finish with quilted maple top presents striking visual appeal, while the set-neck construction with ultra access ensures effortless upper-fret navigation. A minor binding discoloration on the player-side body is the only mark on this otherwise excellent condition instrument—a significant savings on a professionally spec'd platform guitar.
Playability & Feel
The mahogany three-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists warping while maintaining tonal resonance, complemented by an ebony fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets that reward precise technique. Neck dimensions of 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth fret with a 12"-16" compound radius balance comfort across the entire 25.5" scale, while Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a locking nut ensure tuning stability through aggressive tremolo work.
Tone & Electronics
The pairing of a Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI humbucker at the bridge with a Sustainiac neck pickup creates remarkable tonal range, from articulate high-output rhythm textures to infinite sustain and feedback control. Dual three-way mini switches govern the Sustainiac modes and activation, while a standard three-way toggle and independent volume and tone controls deliver straightforward operation without compromising sonic flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this E-1 FR S is fully playable and sonically perfect, with only minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, a slight binding discoloration on the player-side body. There is zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and extended-range playing?
Yes. The 25.5" scale, carbon-reinforced three-piece mahogany neck, Floyd Rose 1500 bridge, and locking nut are all engineered for tuning stability and precision in drop and extended-range contexts common to metal and progressive styles.
What is the Sustainiac pickup, and how do I use it?
The Sustainiac neck pickup is an active sustain device controlled by dual three-way mini switches—one for on/off activation and one for mode selection. It runs on a 9-volt battery and provides infinite sustain and feedback control independent of your bridge humbucker.
How does the neck profile feel, and is upper-fret access easy?
The thin 'C' profile mahogany neck (0.787" at the first fret, 0.866" at the twelfth) balances comfort with precision and is paired with set-neck construction that delivers responsive upper-fret access. The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard accommodates both barre chords and lead work across the full 24-fret range.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The E-1 FR S is optimized for metal, progressive rock, hard rock, and studio sessions requiring extended range and aggressive tremolo work. Its tonal profile and hardware are not well-suited to jazz, folk, or country playing.
