The Nikki Stringfield A-6 FR-S from Schecter is a signature model by the popular guitarist with the Iron Maidens. It combines Nikki's favorite features. The distinctive swamp ash body is bound with carbon fiber multi-ply binding. The top is quilted maple and finished in a bright red burst. The 3-piece maple neck sports Schecter's ultra access neck joint and an ebony fretboard with compound radius, intricate inlays and glow-in-the-dark side position markers.
The electronics offer some cool features. Seymour Duncan pickups include an Invader SH-8 at the bridge and a Sustainiac in the neck position with two dedicated switches, one for Sustainiac activation and the other for mode selection. A Floyd Rose 1500 series tremolo with locking nut and Grover tuning machines offer pro-level performance. Case sold separately.
