Description
Schecter Sunset-6 ET Red Dawn in Gloss Black
The Sunset-6 ET is built for gigging players and touring musicians who can't afford tuning drift mid-set. Its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and EverTune bridge lock your tuning rock-solid through a full night of live work, while the Red Dawn variant pairs professional-grade hardware and electronics with commanding visual impact on stage. This is a workhorse that doesn't compromise on feel or tone.
Playability & Live Reliability
The three-piece maple set neck with Ultra Access joint and ultra-thin "C" shape (19mm at the 1st fret, 20mm at the 12th fret) cuts through hand fatigue during long sets and lets you move quickly across the fretboard without thinking about it. The 25.5" scale, 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, and 16" fretboard radius stay dead-nuts accurate gig after gig, while the 42mm nut width provides the hand feel and spacing you need for both tight lead lines and full rhythm chords.
Tone & Switching Flexibility
The Fishman Fluence Alnico Open-Core neck pickup with red bobbins paired with the Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic Open-Core bridge pickup gives you the tonal range to cover everything from warm, vocal leads to cutting rhythm tones on a crowded stage. The push-pull master volume switches between Fluence voices on the fly, and the 5-way switch lets you dial in your sound fast. The battery compartment (BT-002) keeps your electronics accessible and road-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pickups does the Sunset-6 ET Red Dawn have, and can I switch between them?
The guitar features a Fishman Fluence Alnico Open-Core neck pickup and a Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic Open-Core bridge pickup. The push-pull master volume lets you switch between Fluence voice modes on each pickup, giving you multiple tonal characters from a single pair without adding extra switches.
Is the neck comfortable for lead work and extended playing sessions?
Yes. The ultra-thin C-profile neck measures 19mm at the 1st fret and 20mm at the 12th fret, designed for fast, unobstructed navigation. Combined with the 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, 16" radius, and Ultra Access joint, it supports smooth lead playing and comfortable rhythm work without fatigue.
How does the EverTune bridge improve tuning stability?
The EverTune bridge mechanically locks in tuning across the full pitch range, eliminating drift during intense playing, string bends, or aggressive tremolo use. This is especially valuable for studio recording sessions where tuning consistency across multiple takes is critical.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The Sunset-6 ET Red Dawn is optimized for progressive and metal styles where precision, articulation, and tuning stability are essential. Its modern pickup palette and tight low-end definition make it less suited to folk or traditional jazz applications.
What comes included with the guitar?
The guitar ships with a battery compartment (BT-002) for the Fishman Fluence system, Schecter locking tuners, and a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut. A gig bag or case is not listed; confirm what's included with your purchase.
