Schecter positioned the Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S (item 1288) as a high-output shred-oriented instrument within its Sun Valley series, built on a bolt-on construction with a mahogany body and a maple neck finished to a flat-top contour. The guitar shipped in Riviera Blue with black hardware throughout.
The neck carries an ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets, a 14" (355mm) radius, and a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787" (20mm) at the first fret and .866" (22mm) at the twelfth — a fast, low-profile feel suited to the extended-range demands the model was designed around. The 1.625" (41.3mm) nut width pairs with a Floyd Rose Special locking nut and a Schecter-exclusive Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo at the bridge. Tuning stability is managed by Schecter tuners alongside a two-way adjustable truss rod with heel-access spoke wheel. The pickup configuration pairs an EMG Retro Active Hot 70 at the bridge with a Sustainiac® driver at the neck, governed by a volume/volume/3-way pickup switch layout augmented by a 2-way Sustainiac on-off switch and a 3-way Sustainiac mode switch (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic). Power for the active electronics is supplied by a double 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky .009–.046 strings, and the SGR-1C case was sold separately.
Owners requiring setup work, fret service, or assistance sourcing Floyd Rose Special or Sustainiac-compatible replacement parts 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.
