Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set-neck construction give this guitar a thick, resonant midrange foundation, while the ebony fretboard and 25.5-inch scale add tightness and attack to picked riffs. The Schecter USA Brimstone bridge pickup pushes hard and stays articulate under high gain, making it a natural fit for metal rhythm work and lead playing, and the Sustainiac neck pickup opens up infinite sustain for singing leads, feedback swells and ambient textures. With the Floyd Rose 1500 locking bridge and nut, extra-jumbo stainless frets and a flat 14-inch radius, it handles dive bombs, wide bends and fast position shifts, and the kill switch adds stutter effects for rhythmic playing.
Schecter Riggs Ultra FR-S Guitar Satin Black
The Riggs Ultra FR-S combines aggressive styling with serious hardware and electronics engineered for extended sustain and extreme whammy bar use. Its thin "C" shaped neck profile and Ultra Access body contour deliver comfortable speed and reach across the fretboard, while the Floyd Rose 1500 locking bridge maintains tuning stability even under aggressive tremolo abuse. Built for players who prioritize tonal versatility and performance reliability.
Construction & Playability
The mahogany body features a set-neck design with Ultra Access and a raised center top contour that balances resonance with ergonomic access to upper frets. The neck pairs three-piece mahogany with carbon fiber reinforcement rods for exceptional stability, while the thin "C" profile ensures comfortable hand positioning during extended sessions. The ebony fretboard with 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and a 14-inch radius facilitates smooth bending and rapid position shifts across the 25.5-inch scale length.
Electronics & Tone
The Schecter USA Brimstone™ bridge pickup delivers powerful, articulate output ideal for high-gain applications, while the Sustainiac neck pickup enables infinite note sustain for ambient textures and lead work. Control over these elements comes via a kill switch, 3-way pickup selector, and two Sustainiac mini-switches, providing extensive tonal flexibility across styles and performance contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this guitar built for?
The Riggs Ultra FR-S is engineered for intermediate, advanced, and professional players who are comfortable with fast fretboard navigation and aggressive tremolo techniques. Its thin "C" neck profile, extra-jumbo frets, and 25.5-inch scale support rapid position shifts and extended lead work.
What genres does this guitar excel in?
This model is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and studio sessions. The high-output Brimstone bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup deliver the articulate cleans and infinite sustain those styles demand, while the Floyd Rose 1500 handles aggressive whammy bar use.
How does the Floyd Rose 1500 bridge stay in tune under heavy tremolo use?
The Floyd Rose 1500 is a locking bridge system that clamps the strings at the nut and saddle, maintaining tuning stability even under extreme whammy bar abuse. This is critical for players performing rapid, aggressive tremolo effects.
What makes the Sustainiac neck pickup different?
The Sustainiac is an electromagnetic sustainer that enables infinite note sustain for ambient textures and lead work, controlled via two dedicated mini-switches. Combined with the kill switch and 3-way pickup selector, it gives you extensive tonal flexibility across performance contexts.
What is the neck construction and why does it matter?
The neck is three-piece mahogany with carbon fiber reinforcement rods and a thin "C" profile, providing exceptional stability and comfortable hand positioning during extended sessions.
