A Schecter Apocalypse Designed for the Most Demanding Guitarists
With the Apocalypse series, Schecter clearly targets technical musicians seeking an instrument ready for modern tunings, fast playing, and stage performance. This Rusty Grey finish version features the brand's iconic "C" shape and adds a raw, satin aesthetic, offering immediate playability and a sense of speed.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This 6-string electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want stable craftsmanship, effortless access to high notes, and electronics suited for saturated tones. It excels in metal (death, thrash, metalcore, djent) but remains relevant in modern rock when definition, tight lows, and easily accessible harmonics are desired.
Sound
The ash body provides a naturally precise and percussive tone with excellent note separation, especially effective for palm-muting. The multi-ply maple and bubinga neck enhances stability and response, while the ebony fingerboard adds attack and clarity in the upper mids. The Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI humbuckers deliver a dense and aggressive sound, ideal for high gain: the 3-position selector allows switching between massive rhythm and sharp leads, and the push-pull tone control opens additional options to fine-tune balance and dynamics.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes factory-equipped with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 (.010-.046) strings: this gauge is a reliable choice to maintain the instrument's feel and balance. For transport, a gig bag/case is recommended as an option: SGR-1C (sold separately).
