Endless Tone, Premium Appointments, All Shred
Schecter’s Avenger FR-S Special Edition combines the most popular elements of one of their most popular models with a cutting-edge electronics package, delivering an immensely flexible instrument. The guitar's mahogany body and multi-ply, carbon-reinforced neck cut a striking image onstage while singing with a familiar blend of warmth and bite. And to translate that through your amp, the carbon fiber-bound FR-S Special Edition is outfitted with the unending power of a Sustainiac neck pickup and a Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI active humbucker in the bridge. Plus, glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots ensure you’re shredding with confidence from dusk till dawn. If you want a guitar that will sound as adventurous as it looks, the Avenger FR-S Special Edition from Sweetwater is raring to rip.
Rock-solid construction with high-end appointments
When you pick up a Schecter Avenger FR-S Special Edition guitar, you'll be amazed by all of the details and finishing touches that make this a truly remarkable instrument. Its sonorous mahogany body is bound with eye-catching, multi-play carbon fiber, complementing the carbon-reinforced, multi-piece, maple and walnut neck. Throw in the articulation and sustain of the ebony fingerboard and you’ve got a bona fide riff machine that looks as stellar as it sounds. What's more, Avenger features a set neck with an Ultra Access heel carve, providing unimpeded access to the furthest reaches of the full 24-fret range of the fingerboard’s 16-inch radius.
Sonorous sustain and uncompromising heat
You just can't beat the abundant sustain you'll get out of your Avenger's Sustainiac neck pickup. That's because this unique pickup design features a special sustain circuit that's engineered to let notes ring on as long as you like. And for this Special Edition model, Schecter has paired the Sustainiac with an incendiary Schecter Apocalypse-VI active humbucking pickup in the bridge position. When you combine the flexibility of the Sustainiac with the high-octane Apocalypse-VI, there's nothing holding your tone back.
Floyd Rose 1500 series bridge
Schecter knows that serious shredders like you demand absolute performance out of their guitars. That's why they loaded this FR-S with a Floyd Rose 1500 series tremolo. This versatile bridge lets you grab on, rock out, and never worry about pulling your action or tuning out of whack. You'll get both the rock-solid reliability and the tight response you need when exploring the furthest tonal reaches of the Avenger FR-S Special Edition’s unmatched expressivity.
