Product Description

The Sun Valley series goes back in time to Schecter's roots, when the company was known as a premium guitar mod shop. Letting the hair metal shredders of the era upgrade their tame Strats with high-output pickups and locking tremolo systems, the Sun Valley Super Shredder III is a pure-bred Superstrat on steroids!

With an assortment of high-end features and refinements to meet the demands of modern players, most notably the addition of a 7th string, Schecter have really gone to town with this instrument.

Construction

A Mahogany body gives this guitar a substantial feel and weight, providing a darker tone with plenty of definition in the mid-range. Adorned with a stunning Quilted Maple top finished in a gorgeous Aurora Burst, this guitar will draw in lots of attention not just for its excellent tones, but also for its elegant looks.

A 'thin C' neck profile provides great comfort, thick enough for easily strumming chords but also slim enough to give you amazing playability for leads. Constructed of Maple, you can expect a snappy response with plenty of attack when playing fast intricate riffs or complex solos. And with 24 extra-jumbo frets, your fingers will simply fly up and down the fretboard.

Hardware and Electronics

The 1500 series Floyd Rose tremolo will ensure optimal tuning stability, even after the most brutal of divebombs and flutters. A set of EMG Retro Active pickups will deliver all of those nostalgic 80s tones, but with more aggression and bite to suit the modern metaller. The thick-sounding humbucker will handle high-gain all day long, whilst the single-coils can sound angelic with a clean tone, especially with a cheesy-sounding chorus!
