Schecter Guitar Research Avenger FR-S 50th Anniversary Electric Guitar - 50th Gold Burst

Few shapes signal intent as boldly as the Avenger, and Schecter Guitar Research’s 50th Anniversary edition electric guitar pushes that identity further with uncompromising performance and sonic experimentation. Built around the brand’s most radical offset silhouette, the Avenger FR-S 50th Anniversary pairs a resonant swamp ash body with a maple, walnut and padauk thru-neck for explosive sustain and structural stability. Its voice centers on the Sustainiac system, delivering infinite feedback and harmonic control, matched with a Sunset Strip Anniversary bridge humbucker for searing high gain. Lastly, a Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo and 24 stainless steel frets ensure precision during extreme techniques, while the Gold Burst finish and black and gold hardware reinforce its commanding stage presence.

Contoured Swamp Ash Body for Aggressive Punch and Dynamic Response

The Avenger FR-S 50th Anniversary model is built on a swamp ash body chosen for its lively resonance and articulate tonal balance. Tight lows, focused mids and crisp highs maintain clarity under heavy gain while preserving sensitivity to touch. A carved top contour improves comfort without softening the Avenger’s angular attitude, and black binding frames the Gold Burst finish with sharp visual contrast.

Maple, Walnut and Padauk Thru-Neck for Speed and Sustain

A multi-ply maple, walnut and padauk thru-neck anchors the Avenger FR-S with exceptional rigidity and long-lasting sustain. Schecter’s Ultra Access construction removes heel bulk, allowing effortless reach to all 24 frets. The ultrathin C neck profile works with a 25.5" scale length and a 12"–16" compound radius to support fast, controlled movement across the fretboard. An ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide a slick feel, reliable intonation and effortless bends.

Sustainiac System and Sunset Strip Pickup for Expansive Sonic Control

The Avenger FR-S 50th Anniversary combines brute force with experimental flexibility through its advanced electronics. The Sunset Strip Anniversary Edition bridge humbucker delivers tight low end, cutting mids and controlled compression for aggressive styles. In the neck position, the gold Sustainiac system functions as both an active sustain driver and a true single-coil pickup, allowing seamless transitions between infinite sustain effects and traditional neck tones. Dedicated mini switches enable natural sustain, harmonic modes or blended textures, producing soaring leads, controlled feedback and violin-like swells at any volume.

Floyd Rose Tremolo and Locking Hardware for Performance Stability

Built for extreme expression, the Avenger FR-S 50th Anniversary features a Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking tremolo for smooth pitch control and dependable tuning stability during aggressive dive bombs. A Floyd Rose locking nut secures intonation, while TonePros M-Series locking tuners support fast string changes and precise adjustments. A two-way truss rod with spoke wheel access at the heel allows quick setup refinements for stage or studio use.

A 50th Anniversary Avenger Designed to Push Boundaries

The Schecter Avenger FR-S 50th Anniversary stands as a bold expression of the brand’s 50-year legacy of innovation and individuality. Its aggressive offset design, resonant tonewoods and fast thru-neck construction form a formidable foundation, while the Sustainiac system opens a range of textures beyond conventional electric guitar tones. Finished with premium appointments and striking visual aesthetics, this special anniversary-edition Avenger is crafted for players who thrive on intensity, exploration and uncompromising modern performance.
