Schecter built the Sun Valley Super Shredder PT FR as a high-output, tremolo-equipped instrument positioned within their Sun Valley Super Shredder series. The bolt-on construction and 25.5" scale placed it firmly in the extended-reach, fast-playing segment of the Schecter catalogue, with the PT designation indicating its body template and the FR denoting the Floyd Rose-equipped configuration.
The maple neck carries a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth, mated to a maple fretboard with a 14" (355mm) radius, offset/reverse dot inlays, and 22 X-Jumbo frets. A Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo — a Schecter exclusive variant — is anchored at the bridge, with a Floyd Rose Special locking nut at the 41.3mm (1.625") nut width. Both pickup positions carry EMG Retro Active Hot 70 humbuckers wired to a volume/volume/3-way switch layout with metal knurled set-screw knobs; the active electronics are powered via a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. The mahogany body features a flat top. Hardware throughout is finished in black. A 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel-access spoke wheel is fitted in the neck. The instrument was strung from the factory with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky .009–.046 strings.
Owners requiring setup adjustments, locking nut replacement, or Floyd Rose spring and saddle sourcing should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with double-locking tremolo systems.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
