Schecter E-1 Series Guitars for Metal

Pick up an E-1 and the angular Explorer-style body announces what it is for: loud stages and high-gain rigs. Schecter built this series for rock and metal players who want a guitar that looks as aggressive as it plays. At LV Guitars, the E-1 family gives gigging guitarists several ways in, from the E-1 Custom to the FR S, Przym and Electro-Resin editions.

Players who follow specific artists will notice the signature models. The Sin Quirin E-1 in Satin Black and the Patrick Kennison E-1 FR Apocrypha in Red Reign are built around those players' tastes, which makes them appealing to fans and collectors alike. If you want something that stands out under stage lights, the finish options, including Vintage Sunburst, Trans Purple Burst, Green Burst and Gloss Black, give you plenty of visual choice.

With prices spanning about $1,199 to $2,099, the series covers a range of budgets and collecting appetites. The live grid below shows what is available right now, so you can compare editions and find the one that suits your set.
