Electronics with limitless potential
Pickups that'll never hold you back. The C-7 FR-S is loaded with expertly-designed electronics that give you unparalleled choice over your guitar's sound. You can enjoy loud volume as well as clarity - the Apocalypse-VII pickup at the bridge position is superb at delivering both high output and sparkling clarity. Noise interference is kept to an absolute minimum, meaning your audience only hears your music exactly as it's intended to be heard.
You can make your soloing sound fuller and more distinctive than ever, too. Schecter have employed a Sustainiac Infinite Sustain System pickup at the neck. It brings unique, piercing sound into your playing. By giving you control over when sustain starts and ends for anything you play, you can make every single note scream, wail, or roar for as long as you like. The power is in your hands.
Precise experimentation
If those revolutionary pickups aren't enough to convince you of the Apocalypse's immense capabilities, then maybe experimenting with industry-leading tremolo will be. A Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge is the gold standard in accurate, pitch perfect tremolo. Unlike other, non-locking tremolos, it stops your strings from shifting out of tune when you hammer on the whammy bar. So there'll be no worries about your guitar going out of key - even when dropping the biggest of divebombs.
Made for the road
A guitar that's crying out to be taken on tour. Schecter have crafted the ultimate live heavy metal instrument with the C-7 FR-S Apocalypse. Its powerful sound and immense playability make it a complete package. But it's no use having an instrument that sounds and plays brilliantly if it's not tough enough to withstand life on the road.
That's not something you need to worry about with the Apocalypse. Schecter have ensured that it's extremely strong and durable. Carbon fibre reinforcement rods throughout the guitar's neck make it more hard-wearing and less susceptible to damage such as bending, snapping, or warping in hot climates. You can be certain that it'll survive even the most demanding touring schedule.
Shred faster than ever before
Blistering speed. There's nothing holding you back with the 7-string Schecter Apocalypse. That's because it's been fitted with an ultra-thin maple and padauk multi-ply neck to give you an exhilarating, pacey playing action. The thin shape means you can move up and down the neck rapidly and with ease, and the wood's slick quality makes the playability incredibly smooth. Channel the legends of metal, and shred and solo with tremendous pace.
Maximum comfort
Say goodbye to hand cramp. The Apocalypse's "C"-shaped neck fits comfortably into the palm of your frethand. This means that your hand will always feel in a natural position at every point up and down the guitar's neck. You won't suffer from soreness or strain, meaning you can play on for hours and hours.
