Description

The Schecter E-1 Apocalypse is a shredder's dream, loaded with a fast neck and powerful pickups. The swamp ash body has an aggressive design with a superb finish. The ebony fretboard sports a compound radius, with 24 extra-jumbo frets. The thin C-profile maple and padauk neck allows for effortless string bending and speedy, precise picking. A 25.5" scale adds the perfect level of string tension for dropped-D (and lower) tunings.

Apocalypse VI humbuckers make for screeching leads and raucous rhythms, a perfect recipe for modern metal tone. They crush the midrange, but maintain a tight, focused and articulate response which works well for neo-classical styles, too. Plus, a push/pull tone control gives you more sonic options for single-coil sounds.

Other specs include a TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece, Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut and Schecter locking tuners. An optional case is available separately.

    This guitar is built very well, and sounds amazing! I'm biased, because I primarily play Schecter guitars, but man I love this thing. The pictures don't do the paint job any justice, it's beautiful. The pickups are great for high-gain stuff but also very responsive and dynamic for lighter stuff.

    I own a Les Paul Studio and a Dean ML, and this axe fits well in the collection! Solos are crisp, and the tone is outstanding.

    Can anyone tell me if this thing can handle lower tunings like Drop C or B well or should I look elsewhere?
