A Show-stopping Sunset Armed with Exclusive Sweetwater Specs

Crafted by Schecter’s masterful USA Custom luthiers, the Schecter Sunset Extreme-6 FR HH wields an exclusive set of features you can only get at Sweetwater. This 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” Colorshift finish that's sure to command the rapt attention of any audience. 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 HH configuration then supercharge the Sunset Extreme-6’s shred-ready design with hard-hitting dual-coil firepower. A Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo completes our Schecter Sunset Extreme-6 FR HH with all the screams, squeals, and growls you could ever ask for.

Sculpted for mastery, styled for the spotlight

When it comes to malleable maneuverability, this Sunset Extreme-6 FR HH is in a class by itself. Built from alder, this scorching 6-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.

From thunderous growls to harmonic screams

This Schecter Sunset Extreme-6 FR HH serves up beastly tones through its scorching-hot Schecter USA Brimstone humbuckers. The bridge pickup 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. The neck pickup offers beefier lows than the bridge model, yet with a level of articulation tailor-made for neck-pickup soloing. Furthermore, despite their overwound design, both pickups lend themselves quite well to clean tones.

Built for bulletproof reliability

High-level players need a reliable instrument that can keep up with them. That's why this Sunset Extreme-6 FR HH comes equipped with a Floyd Rose USA double-locking tremolo system, reinforced by vault-grade Hipshot locking tuners. A clear winner among Sweetwater’s 6-string sorcerers, this indomitable hardware combination enables you to subject this axe to extremely aggressive treatment but still experience rock-solid response and tuning stability. To put it bluntly, whether you use or abuse it, you'll have trouble knocking this Sunset Extreme out of tune.
