Schecter built the Sun Valley Super Shredder FR (item 1283) as a high-output, shred-oriented electric guitar, positioning it in the line around an extended 25.5" scale, active pickup electronics, and a locking tremolo system. The Satin Black finish was one of the available colour options. Construction is bolt-on, 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, and carries a maple fretboard radiused at 14" (355mm). Twenty-four X-Jumbo frets and offset/reverse dot inlays mark the playing surface. The 1.625" (41.3mm) nut is a Floyd Rose Special locking unit, paired with a Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo — a Schecter-exclusive bridge variant — finished in black hardware throughout. Both the bridge and neck positions carry EMG Retro Active Hot 70 pickups, wired to a Volume/Volume/3-Way Switch arrangement with metal knurled knobs secured by set screws. Power for the active circuit is supplied via a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. The two-way adjustable truss rod is accessed at the heel via a spoke wheel. Schecter-branded tuners complete the hardware set. Strings were factory-fitted with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky #2222 (.009–.046).
Owners requiring setup adjustments, Floyd Rose maintenance, or EMG battery and wiring service should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with locking tremolo systems and active electronics.
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.
