A 7-string Sunset Armed with Exclusive Sweetwater Specs
Crafted by Schecter’s masterful USA Custom luthiers, this one-of-a-kind Schecter Sunset Extreme-7 HS wields an exclusive set of features you can only get at Sweetwater. This 7-string Schecter flaunts an aggressive double-cut form composed of a well-figured flame maple cap atop a lightweight alder base. Moreover, the body comes coated with a Sweetwater-exclusive “flip flop” Scarlett Ocean finish that's sure to command the rapt attention of any audience with its celestial shimmer. The business end of this high-performance axe boasts a 5-ply maple/walnut Custom Thin C neck, facilitating lightspeed fingerboard finesse with its 16-inch-radius Richlite fingerboard and 24 stainless steel frets. Brimstone pickups in an HS configuration then supercharge the Sunset Extreme-7’s shred-ready design with brutal bridge-position firepower and versatile single-coil sonics in the neck slot. Bookended by the top-tier arrangement of a Hipshot hardtail bridge and locking tuning machines, the Sweetwater-exclusive Schecter Sunset Extreme-7 HS is purpose-made to steal the show and shake the stage with its extended-range roar.
Sculpted for mastery, styled for the spotlight
When it comes to malleable maneuverability, this Sunset Extreme-7 HS is in a class by itself. Built from alder, this scorching 7-string flaunts a meticulously sculpted double-cut shape with outstanding upper-fret access, ensuring seamless technical playing up and down the fingerboard. Furthermore, the 5-piece maple/walnut neck offers rock-solid stability, with an easy-playing Richlite fingerboard hosting 24 stainless steel Jescar frets that effortlessly marry enduring sustain, full-spectrum power, and laser-focused accuracy. Beyond that, this Sunset Extreme's aesthetics are enriched by silver ring offset dot inlays that lay the foundations for polychromic performances.
From thunderous growls to harmonic screams
This Sunset Extreme-7 HS delivers a deluge of diabolical dynamism, thanks to its Schecter USA Brimstone pickups. The bridge-mounted Schecter USA Brimstone humbucker combines focus, cut, and clarity with a thunderous crunch that takes down-tuned power chords like a champ. Teeming with sensitivity and sustain, this humbucker accentuates your harmonic squeals with hair-raising lucidity. In contrast, the neck pickup packs all the bite and clarity of the Brimstone into a single-coil format, granting a fire-breathing array of HS textures to inspire you. Add in the 3-way pickup selector and the Master Volume’s push-pull coil split, and everything from sparkling single-coil sounds to endless shimmering harmonics is yours to wield.
Built for steadfast stability
Courtesy of its Hipshot hardtail bridge, the Sunset Extreme-7 HS confidently tackles your most extreme playing with incredible ease. This bridge provides you with maximum vibrational transfer while maintaining a classic bent-plate vibe. Moreover, its string-through-body design and stainless steel construction fortify your sustain and tuning stability while adding vibrancy to the instrument’s attack. Whether you use it or abuse it, the Sunset Extreme-7 HS’s Hipshot hardtail bridge will continue delivering the goods with a figurative smile on its face.
