Schecter positioned the Sun Valley Super Shredder FR (item 1282) as a high-output, tremolo-equipped instrument within their Sun Valley series, built for players demanding extended range and locking vibrato performance. The guitar was manufactured in South Korea and configured for right-handed players, with a bolt-on construction joining a Maple neck to a Mahogany body.
The neck carries a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth, topped with a Rosewood fretboard running a 14" (355mm) radius across 24 X-Jumbo frets. Offset/Reverse Dot inlays mark the positions. The 25.5" (648mm) scale runs from a Floyd Rose Special locking nut (1.625" / 41.3mm width) to a Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo, a Schecter-exclusive bridge variant, with all hardware finished in black. A 2-Way Adjustable truss rod is accessed at the heel via a spoke wheel. Both the bridge and neck positions carry EMG Retro Active Hot 70 pickups, routed through a Volume/Volume/3-Way Switch control layout with metal knurled knobs secured by set screws; active electronics draw from a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. The guitar shipped strung with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky .009–.046 strings. The flat-top body was finished in Gloss White. A case was sold separately (SGR-1C).
Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly Floyd Rose Special components, EMG Retro Active pickup hardware, or spoke-wheel truss rod tools — should confirm compatibility against the specific dimensions listed above; a qualified guitar technician can assist with setup, intonation, and any locking tremolo adjustments.
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.
