A Modern Axe with a High-performance Attitude

The Schecter Avenger FR S Apocalypse exudes a high-performance attitude — it’s the consummate modern metal axe. Its resonant swamp ash body delivers the warmth and upper-mid bite you need, while its multi-ply, carbon-fiber neck and compound-radius fingerboard offer the comfort and lightning-fast playability you demand. You’ll appreciate this solidbody electric guitar’s set-neck construction and ultra-access neck heel — it was clearly built for high-level guitarists. An aggressive Apocalypse-VI bridge humbucker and neck-position Sustainiac deliver the goods when you plug into your favorite amplifier, and a Schecter-exclusive Floyd Rose 1500 double-locking tremolo system not only facilitates, it begs for whammy abuse. Eye-catching satin black hardware, roman numeral fingerboard inlays, and glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dot markers add the perfect finishing touches to the Avenger FR S Apocalypse.

 

Hot-rodded construction equals high performance

The Avenger FR S Apocalypse features an aggressively offset swamp ash body. While ash is a peculiar choice for a metal-style guitar, in this context it works, exhibiting a warm, resonant sound and enough upper-midrange bite to tear through a dense mix. The Avenger FR S Apocalypse’s multi-ply, carbon fiber-reinforced neck boasts a comfortable Thin C shape, while its compound-radius ebony fingerboard facilitates rapid-fire riffage and scorching leads. Beyond that, set-neck construction and an ultra-access neck heel ensure maximum sustain and fretboard accessibility. 

 

Aggressive, detailed tone and near-endless sustain

The Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI Humbuckers in the Avenger FR S Apocalypse have won over legions of players who have fallen in love with their balanced, aggressive tone. Built on a foundation of Alnico-V magnets and dual flanking Ceramic-8s, these pickups deliver killer low-end punch along with piercing treble and crunchy midrange — ideal for soaring leads and heavy power chords. And with the 3-way Pickup Selector and Master Volume Control, you get a massive array of tone-shaping possibilities. But that’s not all! The Avenger FR S Apocalypse’s neck-position Sustainiac pickup delivers near-infinite sustain and thick feedback with a flip of a switch. A 3-way toggle lets you choose from hearing your tone unaffected, a harmonic mode much like the feedback from a cranked amp, and a mix of the two. This is especially helpful if you perform through in-ears without the interaction of a loud amplifier onstage.

 

Dive-bomb with a Schecter-exclusive Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo

Schecter and Floyd Rose have partnered to bring you the Floyd Rose 1500 double-locking tremolo. Floyd Rose has long been one of the best double-locking tremolos, and the 1500 is a specialized take on their iconic design that you will only find on select Schecter guitars. This souped-up tremolo employs stainless-steel screws and retooled knife edges for maximum durability. What’s more, it eschews the typical screw-in arm for a push-in one. Trust us, once you get used to the 1500’s push-in arm, you’ll want to retrofit all of your other Floyd-equipped guitars with one — it’s awesome! With the Avenger FR S Apocalypse’s Floyd Rose 1500 trem, you'll get both the rock-solid reliability and the tight response you need for precision playing, along with expressive vibrato and dive-bombing capability.
