Schecter positioned the Sun Valley Super Shredder FR (item 1280) as a high-output, tremolo-equipped instrument within its Sun Valley series, built for players prioritising speed and aggressive playing technique. The guitar was produced in South Korea and features a bolt-on construction with a mahogany body and a flat-top contour.
The neck is maple with a Thin 'C' profile, measuring .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth, paired with a maple fretboard carrying offset/reverse dot inlays. The 25.5" (648mm) scale runs across 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" (355mm) radius board. A Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo — listed as a Schecter exclusive — handles pitch, anchored by a Floyd Rose Special locking nut at 1.625" (41.3mm) width. Both pickup positions carry EMG Retro Active Hot 70 humbuckers, controlled by a volume/volume/3-way switch layout with metal knurled set-screw knobs, all finished in black hardware. The active pickup circuit is powered via a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. Schecter-branded tuners and a 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel-access spoke wheel complete the specification. The example documented here is finished in Sea Foam Green. Schecter strung this model with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky .009–.046 strings at the factory.
Owners requiring setup work, Floyd Rose servicing, or truss rod adjustment 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.
