Schecter Guitar Research

collapse expand iconDescription

The Schecter Guitar Research SVSS is a high-performance electric guitar designed for metal and hard rock. The SVSS features a mahogany body, a bolt-on Canadian rock maple neck with a super fast 24-fret ebony fingerboard, and Sustaniac neck and EG Retro Active Hot 70 bridge pickups that deliver a powerful tone ideal for high-gain playing. The SVSS is built for speed with its thin C neck profile, 24 extra-jumbo frets and Floyd Rose Special hot rod locking tremolo for dive bombs and squeals. Unleash your creativity through the SVSS's 3-way pickup switch, 2-way on-off Sustainiac switch and 3-way Sustainiac mode switch (choose between Fundamental, Mix or Harmonic). The SVSS affords modern metal and shred players a platform to compose blistering solos and chunky, downtuned riffs.

Eye-Catching Style

The SVSS's Blue Reign, Green Reign and Red Reign finish options gives it a striking visual flair to match its formidable sound and playability. Its multi-dimensional grain pattern dances under the stage lights, catching the eyes of audiences and fellow musicians alike. Combined with its mahogany body and ebony fretboard, the SVSS has the elegant yet aggressive style that Schecter is known for.

Thin C Neck and 24 Extra Jumbo Frets Enable Shred Playing

The SVSS's bolt-on Canadian mahogany neck has a thin C profile and smooth satin finish, allowing for rapid position shifts and string bending. Its 24 extra-jumbo frets provide ample space for wide interval stretches and extended soloing past the 22nd fret. The ebony fretboard offers a smooth, fast surface for intricate fingering. The SVSS's neck and frets are designed to keep up with the most demanding shred and metal techniques.

Coil-Splitting Provides Versatile Single-Coil Tones

While the EMG Retro Active Hot 70 bridge pickup and Sustaniac neck pickup on this Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S a powerful high-gain tone, its 3-way pickup switch and 3-way Sustaniac Mode switch (choose from Fundamental, Mix or Harmonic) allow you to alter that tone a lot for tones of options. You can even turn the Sustaniac off with another flick of a switch. 

Premium Components for Stage and Studio Use

From its bolt-on neck construction to its Floyd Rose Special "Hot Rod" locking tremolo, the SVSS is built with premium components suitable for professional use. It features a Canadian rock maple neck for stability, Schecter tuners for precise tuning and the aformentioned locking tremolo for radical dive bombs and squeals with maximum tuning security. The SVSS affords modern players a high-performance instrument ready for center stage.

    I purchased this guitar in "reign green" . The color just pops . It plays very well . The floyd rose is solid. Both pickups sound amazing. The maple fretboard is silky smooth . The neck is thin and fast. Great for metal, rock , blues , and even jazz. For this price range , you will be hard pressed to find a guitar of this quality.

    Bought primarily to serve as my "metal" guitar w/sustainiac. Had small hair or something embedded in the finish on back of neck. Some 0000 steel wool and light sanding fixed it. The trem had too much play in it until I found/set the tiny set-screw. It's pretty heavy compared to my other guitars but otherwise it's good. Hot70 is OK but I'm swapping in an EMG 81 soon.
