This axe is comfortable, balanced, and fast

The Schecter USA Sunset Classic II FR will make you feel right at home the minute you pick it up. Schecter started with an extremely comfortable alder body, topped it with a premium flamed-maple top, added a fast maple neck and premium rosewood fingerboard, then spec'd it with top-drawer electronics and hardware. The result is a great-sounding axe that looks incredible and drips with playability. Comfortable, balanced, and fast, Schecter's Sunset Classic II FR has everything you're looking for in a guitar.

Schecter USA's Pasadena serves up sweetened PAF sound

Schecter's USA Sunset Classic II FR sports a Pasadena humbucking pickup in the neck position. The first pickup designed in the company's Sun Valley custom shop, the Pasadena is voiced for sweet, vintage PAF tone, but with just a little more punch. In the Sunset Classic II FR, this Alnico-5 design delivers sweet, balanced output, but with a slight, musical-sounding upper-midrange bump - and just the right amount of gain for driving your amp's front end.

The Sunset Strip delivers take-no-prisoners tone

The Schecter USA Sunset Classic II FR is fitted with a Sunset Strip humbucker in the bridge position, for a barely-street-legal concoction, the main ingredients of which are power, gain, and sustain. The ceramic magnet of this custom shop pickup delivers increased dynamics and natural compression, for an aggressive sound that's guaranteed to cut through the thickest mix, while its four-conductor wiring gives you a wide variety of tonal options. This pickup is ideal in concert with the USA Sunset Classic II FR's Pasadena neck pickup.

Schecter USA Sunset Classic II FR Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Comfortable contoured alder body
  • Gorgeous carved flamed-maple top
  • Fast, bolt-on quartersawn hard rock maple neck with contoured heel
  • Rosewood fingerboard with Dot Cross inlay
  • Sunset strip/Pasadena pickup set delivers tone by the truckload
  • Floyd Rose Original vibrato tailpiece
Rock like a pro with the Schecter USA Sunset Classic II FR!
