High performance for extreme metal ? that’s what you get with the Schecter Solo-II FR Apocalypse. Its swamp ash body bears a familiar single-cut shape, enabling a resonant natural tone and long-term comfort. And when you plug it into a high-gain half stack, you’ll be bludgeoned by explosive, harmonics-laden tones by way of this axe’s dual Apocalypse-VI humbuckers. Playing this guitar is effortless, courtesy of a smooth, compound-radius ebony fingerboard, while a Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo and Schecter locking tuners offer killer sustain and rock-solid intonation. Eye-catching satin black hardware completes the package. The Apocalypse is nigh ? bring on the Apocalypse.

Performance-based construction





When you pick up a Schecter Solo-II FR Apocalypse guitar, you’ll be amazed by all the details and finishing touches that make up this exceptional instrument. Guitarists at Sweetwater agree that its thin “C” neck profile feels comfortable and fast, with just the right amount of wood between your hands and the strings. And the Roman numeral inlays on its ebony fretboard add a special touch of aggression ? the countdown has begun! What’s more, its ultra-access, set-neck design allows easier access to those higher, hard-to-reach frets while enhancing the sustain of every note you play.

Aggressive, detailed tone





You’ll find nothing but sonic intensity from the Apocalypse-VI humbuckers onboard the Solo-II FR Apocalypse. Alnico magnets deliver a fast, aggressive sound with plenty of richness. The Alnicos are flanked by ceramic magnets for top-end presence and articulation. You’ll have an explosive tone with plenty of harmonic content, giving you lots of sound-shaping potential when you tweak the tone knobs on your amplifier and pedals. It includes plenty of tonal control by way of two volume knobs, a master tone, and a 3-way pickup selector. You also get a push-pull pot for coil-split single-coil tones.





The Apocalypse Series ? extreme metal performance





Schecter’s Apocalypse Series boasts extreme metal performance with an aesthetic to match. Face-melting Apocalypse humbuckers deliver the output and articulation you demand. The fast-playing ebony fingerboards on these axes include compound radii and stainless steel frets. You also get lightweight yet potently resonant swamp ash bodies and eye-popping finishes that are tailor-made for abusive stage antics. TonePros or Floyd Rose bridges and Schecter locking tuners supply rock-solid tuning. Complete with attractive satin black appointments, these guitars are top-drawer all the way.
