After a long year of saving and fighting debt I'm finally able to share with you my new Schecter E-1 FR S. This is the guitar I've been dreaming about since I started play when I was 14, and then some! I was almost not going to get it, but my girlfriend swooped in to save the day. I think I kinda have to marry her now, huh? lol.

My older brother used to hold me down and give me a purple nurple. Not nearly as enjoyable as that one.Comment

Re: NGD: Purple Nurple
AWESOME!! Ive wanted one of those since they came out. Didnt realize they had the lum dots.. Love to have an explorer type shape with a floyd, love the purple and would be cool to have one with a sustainer too. Score!! And yes, the girlfriend sounds like a keeper!
Question... how thin/fat is the neck? How is the Apocolypse pickup??
One more cool thing.. Schecter is already using a Floyd that has a bunch of the parts already upgraded..Last edited by BloodRose; 11-23-2017, 08:36 PM.Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

Christopher: It's a 2017.
Bloodrose: The neck is thicker than an Ibanez/Jackson, but thinner than the C-1 Classic that I have. It's an in between which is really awesome. Thin enough to shred, but hefty enough for a good grip for rythm. The Apocalypse pickup is really it's own thing. It always sound massive and does not lose tightness. I want to try back to back with the other guitar that has the Distortion in it to check tightness, but it is surprisingly articulate for a pickup with such high resistance. The cleans have great body to them too, but to be honest, I haven't really played around with the cleans. This guitar sounds as pretty as it looks and definately recommend at least trying one.Guitars:

Re: NGD: Purple Nurple
Congrats!
I've been eyeing those E1-FRs for months. If my trans purple Schecter V-1 Custom had the longer scale length and slightly thinner neck of the E1-FR, I'd probably never want another guitar!Comment

Re: NGD: Purple Nurple
Aceman: Basically. Ever since I starte when I was 14 and learning so mucho off of this forum, I knew the specs that I was looking for. Pls I have a soft spot for quilt and purple guitars. I remember going on Warmoth and making mockups to see what the cost would be for a guitar like this. Never did I find a production guitar with the specs I was looking for, until now. I just had to have it!
Thanks to all for your remarks, I'm glad to share my happiness with you all.Guitars:
