Schecter positioned the V-1 Apocalypse in its high-specification electric guitar line, built in South Korea with a set-neck construction featuring Ultra Access. The body is Swamp Ash with a flat top and black 1-ply binding, finished in Red Reign with satin black hardware throughout.
The neck is a multi-ply Maple and Padauk laminate reinforced with carbon fiber rods, shaped to a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth. It carries a 25.5" scale ebony fretboard with a 12"-16" compound radius, 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, Roman numeral inlays, and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers. The nut is a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq at 1.653" width, paired with a 2-way adjustable truss rod. Tuning is handled by Schecter locking tuners. The bridge is a TonePros T3BT tune-o-matic with T1Z tailpiece. Both pickup positions carry Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI™ humbuckers, controlled by a volume, a push-pull tone, and a 3-way switch, with Hipshot O-Ring knobs. Strings are factory-fitted with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046. The case (SGR-8V) is sold separately.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the TonePros bridge saddles, Graph Tech nut, or stainless fret wire — should consult a qualified guitar technician to confirm fit and tolerances before installation.
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.
