I would suggest to index a dynamic field of type string with the first 
letter of the title and then build a facet on it

titleFirstLetter_stringS = TEXT
titleFirstLetter_stringS {
	field = title
	... use stdWrap substring to get the first letter
}

facets {
	firstLetter {
		field = titleFirstLetter_stringS
		label = A-Z
	}
}
