Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S Guitar Riviera Blue Left Hand
Built for left-handed players who demand speed and precision, the Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S delivers the thin 'C' neck and 24 X-Jumbo frets that make rapid position shifts and technical work feel effortless. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo locks in your tuning tight during aggressive bends and divebombs while staying responsive to every subtle vibrato input. Backed by solid Indonesian manufacturing and finished in striking Riviera Blue with an ebony fretboard, this is a professional-grade instrument ready for the stage.
Playability & Feel
The thin 'C' neck profile—.787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret—sits comfortably in your hand and lets your fingers fly across the 25.5" scale without fatigue. 24 X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with a 14" radius give you a forgiving feel that rewards aggressive playing while maintaining clarity and definition, and the offset/reverse dot inlays stay visible when you're moving fast through the neck.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG Retro Active Hot 70 bridge pickup unleashes high-output bite and sustain that cuts through a live mix, while the Sustainiac® neck pickup gives you controllable harmonic sustain and feedback—perfect for dramatic leads and atmospheric textures. Three switchable Sustainiac modes (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) and dual volume controls let you sculpt your tone on the fly, all powered by a double 9-volt battery compartment that keeps your active electronics running strong all night.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does left-handed configuration mean for this guitar?
This guitar is fully mirrored for left-handed players: the tuners, controls, and body contour are all oriented for playing left-handed. The reverse/offset dot inlays are positioned to match left-handed fretting-hand orientation.
How does the Sustainiac neck pickup differ from the bridge pickup?
The EMG Retro Active Hot 70 bridge pickup delivers high-output aggression for heavy riffs and leads. The Sustainiac neck pickup adds harmonic sustain and feedback control with three switchable modes—Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic—letting you extend sustain and add harmonic richness to melodies and solos without changing pickups.
What is the neck profile and is it fast for shredding?
The thin 'C' profile measures 0.787 inches at the first fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret, designed for rapid position shifts and legato work. Combined with 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 25.5-inch scale and a 14-inch radius, it provides a forgiving surface for technical playing without sacrificing definition.
How does the Floyd Rose Special tremolo stay in tune?
The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo paired with a locking nut at 1.625 inches width locks the strings at the headstock and bridge, preventing tuning slip during aggressive vibrato use and divebombs. This is the same locking system trusted by touring metal and progressive players.
What is included in the battery compartment and how long does it last?
The double 9-volt battery compartment powers the active EMG electronics. Battery life depends on your playing volume and Sustainiac usage; typical active pickup batteries last several months with regular playing.
