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
