The Schecter Sunset 24 FR electric guitar takes premium quality to new heights. Meticulously designed down to each fine detail, the Sunset 24 FR delivers exceptional sound, looks and playability that today's most innovative guitarists demand. With a gorgeous flamed maple top on an alder body, it combines beauty and sustain. The Sunset 24 FR is armed with Schecter USA San Andreas humbucking pickups that pump out a heavy, articulate tone with excellent note definition—providing tight mids and the clarity of an active pickup. Its maple neck has a fast, slim profile with a Macassar ebony fingerboard that feels smooth and allows for easy riffing across the frets. The Sunset 24 FR features an original Floyd Rose tremolo bridge for rock-solid tuning stability and dive-bombing effects.

Constructed With Top-Tier Tonewoods

The Sunset 24 FR is built with premium tonewoods selected for their ability to produce amazing tone and sustain. Its alder body offers balanced warmth and clarity. The flamed maple top looks fantastic while adding brightness and projection. Combined, these woods yield rich lows, articulate mids and singing highs. The slim maple neck provides snap and sustain, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard brings definition to each note.

Powerful Pickups Deliver Heavy Tones

With a set of Schecter USA San Andreas humbucking pickups, the Sunset 24 FR pumps out beefy distortion tones with excellent note separation. The bridge pickup has tight mids that cut through a mix, with the clarity of an active pickup. The neck pickup balances warmth and articulation. Used together, these humbuckers produce heavy rhythm crunch and searing lead tones.

Original Floyd Rose Bridge Stays in Tune

The Sunset 24 FR is equipped with an original Floyd Rose tremolo bridge, considered the best for tuning stability and wild effects. Its double-locking design and fine tuners keep the guitar in tune, even with heavy use of the tremolo arm for warbles, dives and squeals. The Sunset 24 FR gives you the freedom to experiment with extreme techniques, knowing it will return to pitch every time.

Fast, Comfy Neck Profile

With its slim C-shaped profile, the maple neck plays fast and smooth. It provides comfort for riffing up and down the neck during long practice sessions or live sets. Combined with the ebony fingerboard, the Sunset 24 FR neck gives you speed, accuracy and stamina. The 25.5" scale length is ideal for tight rhythms or melodic leads.

Luxurious Case Protects Your Investment

Schecter ships the Sunset 24 FR in an elegant tweed hardshell case, providing the finest protection for your investment. The plush interior keeps your guitar safe from dings and scratches. The case also includes storage for your cable, picks, strings and accessories. Tour-ready from day one, the Sunset 24 FR arrives in style.
