Description
Sound & Tone
The black limba body with ziricote top and bolt-on wenge neck lends a tight, articulate response with firm low end and clear note separation, while the 25.5" scale and hardtail bridge add snap, sustain, and stable pitch under heavy picking. The Schecter USA Sunset Strip bridge pickup pushes aggressive, cutting high-gain leads and rhythm work, and the Pasadena neck unit offers a rounder voice for legato runs and cleaner passages, with the 5-way selector opening up thinner, more scooped in-between sounds. Ebony fretboard and stainless steel frets keep the attack bright and precise, making it a natural fit for modern metal, progressive rock, and technical shred playing.
Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic Ziricote Guitar
This Sun Valley Super Shredder delivers a remarkably fast, comfortable playing experience thanks to its thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets across a 25.5" scale. The exotic ziricote top Built in South Korea with full Schecter warranty coverage, this instrument arrives setup-ready and unplayed.
Playability & Neck Character
The wenge neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods stays rock-solid through marathon sets and temperature changes, delivering a responsive, stable platform for fast technical playing. A 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard combined with X-Jumbo frets supports both aggressive bending and smooth legato work, while the thin profile and .787"-.866" neck thickness taper make upper-fret access effortless—critical for soloing and complex passages.
Electronics & Hardware
Dual Schecter USA pickups—the Sunset Strip bridge and Pasadena neck—deliver versatile tone control through a 5-way selector with master volume and tone controls, giving you sonic flexibility across genres without sacrificing clarity in a live mix. The Hipshot Ibby HM hardtail bridge with black and chrome hardware eliminates tremolo complexity while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability gig after gig, and Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners ensure precise mechanical tuning that holds through your entire set.
