Description
The Schecter Avenger FR S Apocalypse is a powerhouse for the modern metal guitarist, combining aggressive aesthetics with cutting-edge performance. Crafted from resonant swamp ash, this electric guitar's sleek, offset body is designed to deliver a commanding presence on stage. The Sustainiac neck pickup is the star of the show, offering near-infinite sustain that can be shaped through its 3-way mode toggle, making it an essential tool for creating otherworldly soundscapes. Paired with the Schecter USA Apocalypse bridge humbucker, you get a tonal palette that ranges from a balanced punch to a fierce mid-range growl.
The multi-ply maple/padauk neck is reinforced with carbon fiber for stability and features a Thin C shape for fast, comfortable playability. Its compound-radius ebony fretboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets ensures effortless navigation and precise execution of intricate riffs. The guitar's set-neck construction and ultra-access neck heel further enhance sustain and playability, making high-register solos a breeze.
The exclusive Floyd Rose 1500 series tremolo is a standout feature, offering rock-solid stability and expressive dive-bombing capabilities, thanks to its stainless steel hardware and innovative push-in arm design. Aesthetically, the Avenger FR S Apocalypse is completed with satin black hardware, roman numeral fingerboard inlays, and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers—all ensuring you look as fierce as you sound.
