Critic Reviews

Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

A nostalgic homage to the shredder era, the Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder FR delivers immense playability and a solid build. Its sleek design, complete with a thin neck and Floyd Rose vibrato, allows for effortless high-octane performances. The EMG Retro Active pickups provide warm tones, ensuring it's well-suited for those classic solos. However, while the guitar excels at speed and technique, it may not cater to modern metal styles as effectively. Additionally, the choice of a Special Floyd Rose instead of the original might leave some yearning for more. Overall, it's a superb choice for players seeking a classic shred experience, despite minor shortcomings.
