Description
Schecter Sunset-7 Triad 7-String Electric Guitar in Gloss Black
The Sunset-7 Triad is built for the demands of extended-range playing, with an ultra-thin C neck profile and ultra access bolt-on design that keeps all seven strings within natural reach. The extended 27" scale length locks in tight, defined low-end response essential for drop tunings and heavy modern styles. Built for gigging players who need an instrument that won't fight back during long sets or demanding studio sessions.
Playability & Feel
The multi-ply maple and rosewood neck braced with dual carbon fiber rods stays true under stage conditions and touring pressure. The ebony fretboard with 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets across a 16" radius plays smooth and consistent night after night, while the Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (42mm x 6mm) holds intonation tight and keeps strings seated reliably. Offset reverse aluminum circle inlays mark positions clearly without adding visual noise.
Tone & Live Performance
The Schecter USA Tripocalypse triple-coil bridge pickup paired with a Schecter USA Apocalypse single-coil neck pickup covers the ground from articulate, cutting cleans to aggressive overdriven attack—essential range for working musicians. The 5-way switch and independent volume/tone controls let you dial in the exact voice you need on stage, while the Schecter Diamond Hardtail Plus bridge holds tuning rock-solid through setlists and keeps sustain consistent across the extended range.
