Striking Visuals, Stellar Tone, Endless Playability

Schecter's Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic FR combines resonant and durable tonewoods with professional-quality electronics and a classic tremolo system to form an axe destined to be a Superstrat for the ages. The choice of striking black limba for the body gives this guitar a look that is sure to turn heads, not to mention ears with its musical and robust sound. The Thin “C” wenge neck capped with an ebony fingerboard is a delight, perfect for blistering single-note runs and fiery solos across all 24 extra-jumbo frets. Schecter's high-quality Sunset Strip and Pasadena humbuckers handle practically any genre and playing style imaginable. A Floyd Rose trem and Grover Rotomatic tuners round out the feature set on this powerhouse guitar.

Exotic wood combo for beautiful resonance and unwavering durability

The Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic's sharp looks aren't just for show. At its core sits a black limba body, comparable to the more common mahogany but with a brighter, more open sound. Though considered an exotic wood, wenge has quickly made its way into the builds of many of today's most reputable boutique manufacturers thanks to its bell-like sound, tough-as-nails durability, and incredible hand feel. Rounding out this axe is a tried-and-true ebony fingerboard, imbuing this 6-string with the tonewood's trademark glassy feel and effortless playability.

Scorching-hot pickups and high-quality hardware

An instrument named "Super Shredder" requires some seriously scorching pickups. Thankfully, Schecter's Sunset Strip and Pasadena pickups more than deliver. The Sunset Strip bridge humbucker is a perfect storm of aggression, output, and sustain, utilizing a ceramic magnet to increase the dynamics and compression for cutting cleanly through mixes. Likened to a cross between a Seymour Duncan JB and '59, the Pasadena neck humbucker is slightly overwound for additional output and unmistakable PAF-style tone. Throw in a highly expressive Floyd Rose locking tremolo for deep-sea dives and whammy wails, and the Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic is at the top of Sweetwater guitarists' lists of ideal single-guitar solutions for the concert stage.

Thin "C" neck profile geared for lightning-fast licks

Pick up the Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic, and you'll experience extreme playing comfort, courtesy of Schecter's Thin "C" neck carve. This super-slim neck profile provides you with a major speed boost, making this axe an ideal choice for any aggressive playing style. And with the guitar's double-cut body design, you'll have no trouble reaching those high frets. Notwithstanding its slender profile, this neck gives you the dependable stability you demand, thanks to its bolt-on construction. Top it with a fast-playing compound-radius fingerboard — complete with awesome offset/reverse circles — and you're in frettin' heaven.

Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic FR Electric Guitar Features:

  • Black limba body exudes warmth, brightness, and an open tone
  • Bolt-on wenge neck greatly enhances durability and sustain
  • Effortless, speedy playing thanks to a Thin "C" neck carve and silky-smooth ebony fingerboard
  • Schecter Sunset Strip and Pasadena Humbuckers scream and sing
  • Floyd Rose tremolo with Grover Rotomatic tuners makes for beautifully expressive playing and rock-solid tuning stability

Good for the money!

Fit and finish of the guitar is great, body is more of a clear satin finish but very nice. Guitar feels great sitting and standing. The setup right out of the box was spot on, neck relief measured at 0.010", action was a little high for my taste but easy enough to adjust.

I never owned a guitar with a wenge neck before but it is solid (love that the truss rod adjustment is at the heel btw), wood has some porosity to it but doesn't affect playability and gives the guitar character imo. Neck is thinner/faster than most Strats but not as thin as a wizard, very playable. Side dot inlays slightly larger than normal which is great for people with older eyes that play on stages where it can get dark.

Stock Schecter pickups sound good, no need to update. Controls are simple, solid, and work as expected.

Floyd Rose 1500, although it's not an "original" this bridge still performs wonderfully, easy to use/setup, great tuning stability. Much better than the FR "special" found on the cheaper models.

The only slight issue I've noticed is the tuning machines, Grover Rotomatics I believe. I've had Grovers before, even on my old '05 Schecter that are great. But these, some of them seem to have an excessive amount of backlash, like 3/4 to full turn before going the other way so always always always tune up to pitch, and typically use the fine tuners once locked anyway so not a huge deal. I did notice there'sa not much room between the string hole and below, low E you're getting one wrap and that's it. Maybe it's the wenge neck? headstock thicker? not sure, but not a dealbreaker.

Overall great guitar, no regrets!

And a shoutout to Derek for making the order work out!

Nice Guitar!

This guitar is a nice surprise...Priced right, feels right and plays and sounds great. It makes me want to check out what the Schecter USA models might have to offer. Now this guitar is heavy at 9lbs but that doesn't matter to me. What does matter is that it's a beautiful slab of black limba with great components added. Pickups are exactly as described...sizzle and sweet. Setup was quick and it has stayed in tune since. The stainless steel frets are huge and super smooth. I hadn't played frets this big in a long time and now I might be wanting to refret some of my other guitars. Overall very happy with this purchase.
