Hot-rodded construction

Inspired by souped-up and highly modified rock guitars, the Schecter Sun Valley SS FR solidbody electric guitar exudes a no-nonsense, high-performance attitude. It's black pickguard, hardware, and electronics sit on a comfortable S-style mahogany body. A bolt-on hard rock maple neck features a fast Thin-C neck contour and a 24-fret, 14" radius fretboard. And the Sun Valley SS FR's neck heel is beautifully contoured, allowing unrestricted access to the guitar's highest frets.

EMG Retro Active electronics

Schecter tapped EMG Pickups to supply the Sun Valley SS FR's horsepower. Their Retro Active electronics utilize a specially designed active preamp system and passive-style coils for a tone that boasts vintage clarity with modern power. The onboard preamp treats each coil of the pickups separately. This helps remove low-mid frequencies that can muddy up your signal. And a simple-to-use 2-knob control layout works in conjunction with the 3-way blade switch to access a wide variety of tones.

Schecter-exclusive Floyd Rose Trem

Schecter and Floyd rose have partnered to bring you the Floyd Rose Hot Rod double-locking tremolo for a new level of control and stability. Floyd Rose has long been one of the best double-locking tremolo sellers at Sweetwater. And the Hot Rod is a specialized take on their iconic design design that you will only find on select Schecter guitars. The addition of this trem is another appointment that prepares the Sun Valley SS FR solidbody electric guitar for your best playing.

Schecter Sun Valley SS FR Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Super-style electric guitar with top-quality components
  • Schecter-exclusive Floyd Rose Hot Rod locking tremolo system
  • Clear and dynamic EMG Retro Active humbucking pickups
  • Mahogany body with hard rock maple neck
  • Contoured neck joint offers great high-fret access
  • 24-fret fretboard

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Before you buy a Charvel...

I've had hundreds of guitars pass through my hands,expensive guitars I wouldn't give 2 cents for and $500 dollar guitars I'll never part with. These have one of the best necks I've ever played it might be "perfect". Frets are taller smooth and people always mention other brands necks but this neck was rolled and smooth like a broken in neck. The Floyd is good but to me there is no sub for a real Made in Germany Floyd and I found a cheap used one and slapped it on you don't have to but for me I did. Pickups are hot vintage and can scream. I don't like actives because batteries in guitars are a nuisance to me but these I would live with. It just feels right as soon as you pick it up
by Mike Gayda from East Haven, CT on

Surprisingly impressed!

I was looking for a decent quality/value shred guitar to mess around with and MOD. I never imagined I'd like it as much as I have. I own a handful of high quality/expensive guitars that I use on a regular basis and love to play. And though this is not my favorite, I always find time to rip on it a few hours a week! Super fun to play!!! Having modified it with high end components helps.

Here are some of my thoughts!

1. Playability is excellent! Super comfortable and fast! I have big hands, so feels smaller than normal but nice. Super fun to play!
2. Frets and edges were level and rounded nicely... no work needed.
3. Pickups sound really good! (surprisingly) vintage like... does everything pretty well!
4. FRT Special Tremolo works and sounds fine, but... (have never been a fan... they won't last that long if you use it a lot) I installed the Original FRT w/brass block... better tone, sustain, and will last a long time! Left in the pop-in bar... love that!
5. Tunners are ok (I changed them out to Chrome Gotoh)
6. Really easy access to the higher frets (love that)
7. The neck is sturdy... spoked truss wheel and 14' radius are good
8. Satin Mahogany body resonates nicely
9. Good built guitar for value... so you can modify into a complete BEAST for $200-$300 if desired.
10. Can't go wrong with this one! Sweetwater is the best! Especially if you're considering a cheaper priced guitar. They have really good quality control... lemons go back to factory and they sell us only the good ones!

Niiiiice Guitar!

This is the first guitar I've got since I came here in the US and it just feels so great that I can't even put it down! Also, Sweetwater has wonderful customer service. It is definitely the place I am looking for!

This Guitar Just Rocks !!

I just bought one of these and it just Rocks !
Out of the box and go.. period...
I had to tweak a couple strings for intonation, But it's ready to go !
Action is spot on... Floyd rose is always in tune !
And as always Ben Robertson is my guy !

Only one issue

This guitar was everything I wanted. Plain maple neck, no slant to the head stock, super strat body with a floyd and active pickups.

The pickups are my favorite I have tried... yet they are also the issue!

My bridge pickup has a severe feedback problem. Amp turned down, standing 5 feet away with my back facing it... the split second I stop strumming "RIIIIIIIINNNNNG!!!!"

It is become so bad I am trying to get EMG to do warranty service on the pickup... otherwise this guitar is absolutely perfect for a dad rock, stay at home jammer like me.

If I could change one thing, it would be giving the neck joint Fender spacing so I could buy a different neck in the future.
