Overview

A high-performance shred machine built for aggression.

The Schecter Sunset-6 Red Dawn electric guitar is designed for players who demand uncompromising power, precision and performance. Built with premium tonewoods and cutting-edge electronics, this guitar delivers crushing low-end punch, searing highs and razor-sharp articulation. Whether you're churning out bone-rattling riffs or blazing through intricate solos, the Sunset-6 Red Dawn ensures every note cuts through the mix with authority. With its striking aesthetics, ultrathin neck profile and Fishman Fluence Modern Open Core pickups, this guitar is the perfect tool for modern shredders looking to push the limits of their sound.

Premium Construction for Maximum Resonance

The Sunset-6 Red Dawn features a basswood body, providing a balanced tonal foundation with deep lows and smooth highs. The three-piece maple neck is set through the body with Schecter's Ultra Access neck joint, ensuring seamless upper-fret playability. An ebony fingerboard with offset red circle inlays enhances the guitar's sleek aesthetic while offering smooth, fast playability. The combination of high-quality woods and expert craftsmanship results in an instrument that excels in sustain, resonance and tonal clarity.

Fishman Fluence Pickups for Unrivaled Versatility

Equipped with Fishman Fluence Modern Open Core pickups, the Sunset-6 Red Dawn delivers an aggressive, high-output tone that's both tight and articulate. The ceramic bridge pickup provides crushing distortion with tight bass response, while the alnico neck pickup offers warm, expressive leads. With a push-pull volume control and a five-way switch, players can access multiple Fluence voicings, unlocking a variety of tones from dynamic cleans to full-throttle metal aggression.

Precision Hardware for Ultimate Stability

The Sunset-6 Red Dawn is built for reliability with a TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and string-thru body construction, enhancing sustain and tuning stability. Schecter locking tuners ensure quick string changes and rock-solid tuning, while the GraphTech Black TUSQ XL nut minimizes friction for smooth pitch bends and vibrato. Every component is designed to withstand the demands of modern metal and high-speed playing.

Ergonomic Design for Maximum Playability

With an ultrathin C neck profile, a 16" fingerboard radius and 24 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets, the Sunset-6 Red Dawn is built for effortless speed and precision. The sleek, gloss black finish with red body and neck binding completes its aggressive look, making it as visually striking as it is sonically powerful. Whether on stage or in the studio, this guitar delivers an unparalleled playing experience.
