Schecter Sun Valley SS-FR Sea Foam Green LH

What we say:

The title of this lefty guitar pretty much summarises its whole agenda: this is a high performance S-type from the era of the gunslingers and hairspray! It’s a speedy-feeling and hot-sounding guitar with a special design Floyd Rose tremolo.

The neck is exactly as you’d hope it to be: thin with a nice flat 14” radius and 24 huge frets! It’s a shredder’s delight here. We also have a pair of active EMG pickups here: Retro Active Hot 70s models which have both alnico and ceramic magnets to bring you a hot sound that’s not huge in output but delivers a sound that we’ll say is very ‘VHII’ sounding if you get our inference! This has a special preamp circuit to cut out almost all background hiss and hum.

We think the Sun Valley Super Shredder, available here in Sea Foam Green with an Maple ‘board, is an extremely effective evocation of a halcyon time for fun guitar playing. Left-handed fans of pyrotechnic playing will lap this up.
