Schecter C-7 FR S Apocalypse Red Reign RR

Schecter C-7 FR-S Apocalypse Red Reign – 7-string electric guitar with Sustainiac and Floyd Rose 1500

Schecter C-7 FR-S Apocalypse Red Reign is a high-performance 7-string electric guitar designed for modern metal players who demand precision, tonal control, and maximum playability. The combination of a Sustainiac® neck pickup and a USA Apocalypse-VI™ humbucker in the bridge position delivers an enormous dynamic range – from infinite sustain to powerful attack. With a swamp ash body, 26.5” scale length, and Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo, this instrument is built for both stage and studio use.

Overview and Features

The Apocalypse series is engineered for discerning metal guitarists who expect professional-grade performance and tone. The lightweight swamp ash body offers quick response and defined attack, while the multi-ply maple and padauk neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods provides superior stability. The ebony fingerboard with 24 stainless steel X-Jumbo frets and Roman numeral inlays ensures exceptional feel and precision. The extended 26.5” scale optimizes string tension for seven strings, delivering excellent clarity in lower tunings.

Construction and Materials

The body is crafted from swamp ash with an arched top and black binding for a balanced combination of resonance and visual elegance. The set-neck with Ultra Access design offers smooth upper-fret reach, while the laminated maple/padauk neck construction enhances rigidity and tonal transfer. The ebony fingerboard provides clarity, responsiveness, and sustain ideal for modern high-gain applications.

Electronics and Hardware

The Apocalypse-VI™ humbucker in the bridge position delivers aggressive yet articulate tone, and the Sustainiac® system enables infinite sustain with controllable feedback. The controls include volume, tone, intensity, a 3-way pickup selector, 2-way Sustainiac switch, and 3-way Sustainiac mode switch (Fundamental/Mix/Harmonic). The Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo ensures tuning stability during heavy whammy use, while Grover Rotomatic tuners provide precise fine-tuning. The satin black hardware completes the guitar’s modern aesthetic.
