Sound & Tone
The Black Limba body with a Birdseye Maple top and Macassar Ebony fretboard leans toward a warm, resonant core with firm attack, while the 25.5" scale and stainless steel frets keep note definition tight and bright under gain. Schecter's Apocalypse humbuckers, using Alnico V and ceramic VIII magnets, push high-output clarity that holds together for modern rock, metal, and technical lead work across all 24 frets. The push/pull coil-split and 3-way blade switch open up thinner, single-coil-voiced tones for cleans and rhythm parts, making it workable for players who move between heavy passages and more articulate, dynamic material.
Schecter USA Sunset Extreme 6 Exotic Birdseye Guitar Open Box
The Sunset Extreme 6 sits naturally in your hands with a contoured Black Limba body that balances responsiveness and comfort, while an ultra-access cutaway opens up the upper frets for genuine playability without limits. The custom thin C neck profile paired with a 25.5" scale delivers speed and control across the fretboard while maintaining the structural integrity and sustain that live performances demand. This is a premium American-made instrument built for serious players who demand uncompromising construction quality, dynamic tonal range, and commanding visual presence on stage or in the studio.
Playability & Construction
The neck assembly features a 5-ply Black Limba and Purple Heart construction reinforced with carbon fiber rods for exceptional stability and rock-solid reliability under load. A Macassar Ebony fretboard with 24 Jescar Stainless Steel frets (6100 equivalent) and a 16" radius delivers smooth, durable playability across aggressive playing styles, while the 2-way adjustable spoke wheel truss rod enables precise action setup dialed to your preference. The Graphtech Black Tusq nut (1.67" width) and reverse offset aluminum ring inlays with paua abalone centers complete a neck engineered for hours of playing without fatigue.
Tone & Electronics
Two Schecter Apocalypse humbuckers utilizing Alnico V and ceramic VIII magnets deliver high-output articulation with clarity that cuts through a live mix. The passive configuration with a master volume push/pull coil-split control and 3-way blade switch offers real tonal flexibility—from thick, saturated humbucker drive to crisp single-coil-voiced textures for versatility across set transitions, while Hipshot locking tuners and the Hipshot Ibby HM bridge guarantee the tuning stability and intonation precision required for confident live performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does open box mean, and is this guitar fully playable?
Open box means the unit was unboxed, inspected, and professionally set up by our techs in Temecula, but never played and ships in original packaging with all factory accessories. It is fully new and playable, sold at a reduced price.
How does the coil-split control work, and what tonal range can I get?
The master volume push/pull coil-split on the Apocalypse humbuckers allows you to switch between warm, full humbucker tones and articulate single-coil-voiced textures using the 3-way blade switch, giving you versatility across hard rock, progressive, and metal styles.
What is the neck profile, and will it work for fast playing?
The custom thin C profile measures 0.80 inches at the 1st fret and 0.85 inches at the 12th fret, paired with a 25.5-inch scale and 16-inch fretboard radius. This design delivers fast, comfortable access across the fretboard for dynamic playing styles.
Why are the tonewoods (Black Limba, Birdseye Maple, Macassar Ebony) important?
Black Limba body wood offers resonance and sustain, birdseye maple top provides visual character and tonal clarity, and Macassar Ebony fretboard with stainless steel frets ensures durability and smooth playability. The carbon-fiber-reinforced 5-ply neck construction with Black Limba and Purple Heart ensures exceptional stability with minimal neck movement.
What hardware ensures tuning stability?
Hipshot locking tuners paired with the Hipshot Ibby HM bridge provide rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation, essential for studio and live reliability.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $264 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
