The Essentials to Know About the Sunset-6 Red Dawn Guitar

  • Built for shredding: ultra-thin "C" neck, 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, and optimized high fret access (Ultra Access).
  • Ultra-sharp modern tone thanks to Fishman Fluence Modern pickups (Ceramic and Alnico) and a 5-position selector to multiply tonal textures.
  • Stability and precision: TonePros Locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut for reliable tuning stability.
  • Radical look: Gloss Black finish and "Offset Reverse Red Circles" inlays for a striking visual identity.

Red Dawn: a performance-focused approach at the heart of the Sunset-6 series

The Sunset-6 Red Dawn embodies a clearly performance-oriented philosophy: an electric guitar designed for speed, attack, and precision. Combining modern ergonomics, components selected for stability, and versatile electronics, it targets guitarists seeking a responsive instrument ready to handle heavy tunings, tight palm-mutes, and expressive solos without compromising comfort.

Who is it for, and in which styles?

This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert players, or highly motivated beginners who want to start directly on a "high performance" platform. It excels in modern metal, metalcore, djent, hard rock, and fusion, but remains relevant whenever a dynamic, punchy feel, tight rhythms, and leads that cut through the mix are desired. The ultra-thin neck profile and long scale length promote precise playing, controlled bends, and clean legato.

The sound

The basswood body provides a balanced and homogeneous foundation, ideal for clear definition under heavy saturation. The 3-piece maple neck enhances stability and response, with a crisp attack and good note sustain. The ebony fingerboard, combined with stainless steel frets, emphasizes precision and clarity, especially appreciated for fast riffs and harmonics. On the electronics side, the Fishman Fluence Modern pickups deliver a modern, tight, and powerful range, while the push-pull volume control (Fluence Voice 2 option) opens up tonal variations to switch from a compact bite to more nuanced voices, depending on your settings and amplification.

Recommended compatible accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, you can use a set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 strings in 010-046 (factory setup). If you are looking for hard protection, the 1620 SGR-1C C-Shape Hardcase is listed as a compatible option and sold separately.
