Schecter Reaper-6 Elite
Overview
The Schecter Reaper-6 Elite is a visually dramatic electric guitar that pairs Schecter's commitment to modern playability with a tonewood combination and pickup selection optimized for heavy music at a competitive price point. The swamp ash body provides a balanced tonal platform with clear highs and a slightly scooped midrange, topped with a stunning burl maple veneer that gives each guitar a unique organic appearance. The ultra-access set neck is carved from multi-ply maple and walnut, providing rock-solid stability and effortless upper fret reach thanks to the deep sculpted body cutaway. Schecter's Sustainiac active neck pickup delivers infinite sustain and harmonic feedback effects with the flip of a switch, while the Schecter Diamond Decimator humbucker in the bridge handles high-gain rhythm and lead duties with tight articulation and aggressive attack. The Hipshot hardtail bridge provides excellent tuning stability and string-to-body transfer, and the ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets is built for speed and precision. The luminlay side dots glow in dark stage environments, ensuring fretboard visibility under any lighting condition. This guitar is built for intermediate to advanced players in metal, progressive rock, and experimental genres who want the Sustainiac feature and striking aesthetics. The Sustainiac system requires a nine-volt battery, and the active electronics may not appeal to purists who prefer passive-only signal chains.
