The Schecter Sunset Extreme is built for performance, tone and versatility. Loaded with premium components, the Sunset Extreme brings style and professional sound to your fingertips. A nyatoh body with a beautiful flamed maple top and matching flamed maple headstock resonates with a rich and warm, woody tone. A multi 5-ply maple/rosewood bolt-on neck with ultra access and an Ultra-thin C neck shape is ideal for the technically minded player.

Armed with a Schecter USA Sunset Strip bridge pickup and a Schecter USA Pasadena neck pickup, the Sunset Extreme delivers powerful but balanced rock and metal tones with a plethora of upper-midrange harmonic content, perfect for those hard-crunching rhythms and scorching leads. With volume/5-way switch controls you’ll be able to dial in any sound you can dream up.

Other premium features of the Sunset Extreme are stainless steel frets, Schecter Locking tuners, a Schecter Diamond Hardtail Plus bridge, Graph Tech nut and aluminum circle fretboard inlays. An optional SGR-1C premium hardshell molded case or Vintage Tweed wooden case with dark gray plush interior sold separately.

    Originally when I got this I had to return it due to faulty locking tuners, but I loved the guitar itself so much I bought another one, and I have not regreted it since. A guitar of this quality for under 1K is insane. The neck feels and plays amazing, the pickups sound amazing for everything except super super heavy low tunings which even then, they are still pretty dang good. The tuners on the one I have now actually hold tuning really really well. I see myself playing this for years to come.

  • Great value for the price

    This guitar is fantastic as-is. Pickups are versatile enough to cover all but Djent styles. For under $1,000 from a renown brand coming with USA-made pickups of quality might I add, stainless steel frets, a beautiful ebony fretboard with unique aluminum ring inlays and a gorgeous flame maple top with the ergonomic carve, you'd be hard pressed to find any competition to this that doesn't cost hundreds more. Schecter knocked this one out of the park AGAIN.
