Full Description
View Full DescriptionIncredible innovation
Achieve frightening levels of sustain. Play with obscene overtone content. The Sustainiac pickup system will take your sound to new heights as it enhances every note with shimmering sustain and stunning harmonic overtones. It works by capturing the vibrations, transforming them into vibration energy, and then distributing this back to the strings. The result? Increased sustain for a thrilling, immersive tone. Experience full control using the on/off switch and mode switch, which includes fundamental and harmonic options as well as a mix of the two. The fundamental mode allows for normal vibrations of the strings whilst the harmonic mode blends plucked notes into insanely high harmonic vibration.
Annihilating tone
Complementing the Sustainiac at the neck is the bridge position's Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI. The name says it all. It is designed to make the walls tremble. Thanks to the combination of Alnico-V magnets and dual flanking Ceramic-8s, this pickup will grant you a versatile, balanced sound that produces plenty of aggression and bite. The midrange might be crushing, but this pickup retains all those tight and focused sonic capabilities, meaning you will be able to deliver a sound that is astoundingly articulate and undoubtedly fiery.
A ferocious build

An ash body is striking in every way possible, if offers quick attack with an articulate dynamic range, making it perfect for gigging with as you won't be hindered by muddy sound - this teams wonderfully with the sustain produced by the Sustainiac pickup.
