Schecter Guitar Research C-7 FR-S Apocalypse 7-String Electric Guitar Red Reign

Schecter's C-7 FR-S Apocalypse 7-String Electric Guitar is a technical player's dream come true. Built for extreme metal, its stunning looks are matched only by the relentless tone within. The Apocalypse Series brings the noise with USA-made Apocalypse pickups, stainless steel frets and a compound radius ebony fretboard for effortless shredding. A swamp ash body keeps things lightweight yet full of midrange punch. With a Floyd Rose 1500 bridge for pinpoint tuning precision and a Sustainiac pickup for infinite sustain at your command, this 7-string beast has everything the modern guitarist needs to create auditory Armageddon.

Sustainiac Pickup Provides Limitless Sustain

Kick in the Sustainiac pickup's sustain circuit and unleash a never-ending note or chord. As long as you want the feedback to continue, this unique humbucker will keep your tone ringing. Adjust your amp and effects to sculpt the ideal sustained sound, from glassy leads to doomy drones. Creative players will discover a world of new possibilities with the Sustainiac.

Floyd Rose 1500 Bridge Anchors Your Sound

A Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge handles divebombs, squeals and radical pitch bends while keeping each of the seven strings perfectly in tune. Made to the same exacting standards as the original Floyd Rose, this double-locking tremolo bridge gives players the response and stability needed for extreme styles. Grab, bend and manipulate notes with confidence.

Apocalypse Pickup Delivers Aggressive Tone

In the bridge position, Schecter's own USA-made Apocalypse humbucker produces a tight, aggressive tone bursting with overtones. Ceramic magnets provide sizzling high end, while alnico V magnets generate midrange warmth and low-end chunk. The Apocalypse pickup is voiced for high-gain modern metal styles, ready to deliver razor-sharp riffage and solos with harmonic depth.

Fast Neck and Lightweight Body For All-Night Comfort

A fast-playing 5-piece maple/bubinga neck and a comfortably contoured swamp ash body make the Apocalypse 7 a joy to play. The slim neck profile and 24 stainless steel frets invite fleet-fingered runs and bends. A compound 12"-16" radius ebony fretboard enhances playability across all strings.
