Schecter Sunset, Red Dawn

Full Description

Bold design built for the spotlight

The Schecter Sunset-6 Red Dawn makes an immediate impact with its aggressive styling and premium aesthetic. Finished in sleek gloss black, the guitar features vivid red accents that set it apart, including red body and neck binding and eye-catching offset reverse red circle inlays on the fretboard. These details give the Sunset-6 a uniquely powerful presence on any stage. Every contour is designed to give you a seamless playing experience that'll make you struggle to put this Schecter Sunset down. Paired with black hardware and open-core red bobbin pickups, the aesthetic is unified, slick, and unmistakably metal.

Effortless speed and playability

Designed with fast-paced performance in mind, the Sunset-6 Red Dawn features Schecter's renowned Ultra Thin "C" neck profile, crafted from a three-piece maple construction. This slim, contoured shape encourages lightning-fast runs and intricate technical work, reducing hand fatigue and promoting natural hand placement. The neck is set into the body with a deep insert joint and Ultra Access heel carve, allowing smooth transitions right up to the 24th fret without any obstruction. Coupled with a 16” radius ebony fingerboard and stainless-steel X-jumbo frets, every bend, sweep, and shred feels comfortable and controlled. It’s a neck built for precision and endurance, perfect for technical metal styles or expressive lead playing.

Powerful, versatile tone with Fluence tech

At the heart of the Sunset-6 Red Dawn is a set of Fishman Fluence Modern pickups — a ceramic magnet in the bridge and an Alnico in the neck, both open-core and finished with red bobbins for a visual punch. These aren't just standard active pickups. Thanks to Fluence multi-voice technology, you get instant access to multiple tones. Use the push-pull master volume to switch to Fluence Voice 2, or navigate additional voicings via the 5-way blade switch and Voice 3 options. This system delivers everything from modern metal clarity to vintage-style warmt. You can chug, riff, or solo with precision - always finding the tone to match your sound.

Reliable hardware for demanding performances

Great tone and feel mean nothing without stability, and Schecter ensures the Sunset-6 Red Dawn delivers where it counts. It comes equipped with Schecter locking tuners for rock-solid tuning integrity and fast string changes - perfect if you're frequently on the road. The TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body construction enhances sustain and maximises resonance, while keeping intonation perfectly in check. A 42mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut keeps tuning smooth and stable, no matter how aggressive your bends or changes. With premium hardware in every position, this is a guitar that performs consistently in every setting.
