High-performance Guitar with Endless Sustain

Every inch and detail of the Schecter E-1 FR S Special Edition solidbody electric guitar was engineered for aggressive, high-speed playing. The rock 'n' roll tonewood standard of mahogany, quilted maple, and ebony come together to enrich the instrument with warmth, sustain, and plenty of harmonic detail. The bridge Apocalypse VI humbucker is tailor-made to punch your amp hard, while the neck-position Sustainiac system offers unending sustain with three modes of operation. Finally, a Floyd Rose 1500 series tremolo puts the E-1 FR S Special Edition over the top.

Iconic hard rock construction

The core of the Schecter E-1 FR S Special Edition electric guitar is the mahogany, maple, and ebony set-neck design that has found a home with countless rock and metal guitarists worldwide. The tonewood combination offers a sound that has plenty of warmth and bark, but the maple delivers long sustain and a quick attack. You'll notice harmonics and transients explode from the ebony fretboard. But Schecter is far from copying an old design. Thanks to its sharp lines and thin "C" neck profile, the E-1 FR S Special Edition still has a look and feel all its own.

Sustainiac humbucker delivers never-ending tone

You just can't beat the abundant sustain you'll get out of your Schecter E-1 FR S Special Edition's Sustainiac humbucker at the neck position. This unique pickup design features a special sustain circuit that's designed to let notes ring on as long as you wish. Just kick in the sustain circuit, play a note or chord, and let the electromagnetic feedback carry your sound as long as desired. And a 3-way switch lets you choose between fundamental, mix, and harmonic-type sustain.

Aggressive, detailed tone from an Apocalypse VI humbucker

Sweetwater guitarists found nothing but sonic intensity from the Apocalypse humbucker onboard the E-1 FR S Special Edition. Alnico magnets deliver a fast, aggressive sound with plenty of richness. The alnicos are flanked by ceramic magnets for top-end presence and articulation. You'll have an explosive tone with plenty of harmonic content, giving you lots of sound-shaping potential when you tweak the tone knobs on your amplifier and pedals.

Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo

Schecter loaded this E-1 FR S Special Edition with a Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo bridge. A remake of the original Floyd Rose blade tremolo, this incredible bridge lets you grab on, dig in, and never worry about your tuning stability. With the E-1 FR S Special Edition's Floyd Rose 1500 series trem, you'll get both the rock-solid reliability and the tight response you need for precision playing, along with expressive vibrato and dive-bombing capability.

Schecter E-1 FR S Special Edition Electric Guitar Features:

  • Electric guitar with aggressive styling and tone
  • Sustainiac neck pickup offers multiple takes on unending sustain
  • Fat and powerful-sounding Apocalypse VI bridge humbucker
  • Floyd Rose 1500 series double-locking tremolo for intense pitch control

Beyond expectations!

Everything about this guitar screams quality. Fit and finish, inlays, fretwork, and plays so smoothly from blues to bone crushing metal it holds perfect tune with the floyd 1500. I have more expensive guitars but this one beats them all and has gained #1 status in my arsenal and the sustainiac is icing on the cake.
Rated 5/5

Insanely nice guitar!

This thing sounds so good. The apocalypse 4 is crisp and clean and delivers nice crunch. The sustainiac and Floyd rose are so fun to play around with. The fit and finish are top tier. The color is absolutely epic! Very comfortable standing or sitting, not too heavy. I have pretty big hands and I'm picky about my necks, having bought this without playing it I was worried, but it plays nicer than anything I've ever played. No joke. Amazing guitar. Thank you Sweetwater and thank you schecter!
Rated 5/5

E-1 Schecter just amazing

E-1 Green Burst is one of the best guitars your money can buy. The finishes and details of the guitar are of very high quality, it arrived completely ready to play and also in tune. The colors are amazing when you see them for yourself, also the C thin neck type is amazing to play I recommend it for those who like C neck but want to add a different and more comfortable feel. I love the guitar I plan to buy a second one to put it in my music studio in Mexico
