Sound & Tone
The Khaya African Mahogany body and wenge neck give this Reaper-6 a warm, dense low-mid foundation, while the ebony fretboard and Hipshot hardtail with string-thru-body add tightness, clarity and long sustain. The Schecter USA San Andreas humbuckers at bridge and neck deliver articulate, muscular output with strong dynamic response, and the push-pull tone control plus 3-way switch let you move from thick rhythm crunch to leaner, more vocal lead voices. With its 25.5" scale, stainless X-Jumbo frets and compound-radius board, it suits hard rock and metal rhythm work as well as fast lead playing, and the left-handed configuration makes that range accessible to lefty players.
Schecter Reaper-6 Custom Lefty Guitar Gloss Black
The Reaper-6 Custom Lefty captures articulate, defined tones with an Ultra Thin "C" neck profile and precisely dimensioned fretboard that supports both aggressive tracking and marathon session work without player fatigue. Built for left-handed producers and engineers who demand pro-grade recording instruments, this guitar combines premium materials with locking hardware for consistent, stable tracking right out of the box.
Recording Stability & Neck Design
The neck-thru construction with Ultra Access body joint delivers unwavering tuning stability and extended sustain—critical for layered overdubs and long recording takes. A 25.5" scale paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12" to 16" compound radius ebony fretboard ensures tight intonation across voicings and positions, anchored by a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width and Schecter locking tuners that lock in tuning between overdubs and multitrack sessions.
Pickup Character & Mix Integration
Dual Schecter USA San Andreas pickups deliver clear, controlled output with balanced dynamics across the frequency spectrum—ideal for sitting cleanly in dense mixes without muddiness. The Volume/Tone (Push-Pull) control with 3-way switch configuration enables on-the-fly tonal adjustment during tracking, while the Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design maximizes harmonic sustain and reduces tonal loss, strengthening definition on recorded tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the neck profile and how does it feel during long playing sessions?
The Ultra Thin C-neck profile measures 0.748" at the 1st fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended play. This slimmer profile suits aggressive lead work and comfortable bending across the 24 X-Jumbo frets without sacrificing structural integrity.
What pickups are in this guitar and what tone should I expect?
The Reaper-6 Custom Lefty uses dual Schecter USA San Andreas pickups that deliver articulate, muscular output with responsive dynamics, tight sustain, and a present midrange. These pickups excel in metal, hard rock, and progressive styles where clarity and cut are essential.
How does the neck-thru construction affect sustain and playability?
Neck-thru design keeps the neck bonded all the way through the body, maximizing sustain and structural integrity while the Ultra Access body joint provides seamless access to upper frets. The Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design further maximizes resonance with minimal harmonic loss.
Is this guitar suitable for genres other than metal and hard rock?
The Reaper-6 Custom Lefty is optimized for metal, hard rock, progressive, and djent styles. Its articulate, high-output character and tight sustain are not well-suited to jazz, folk, or country playing.
What hardware and tuning stability features does this left-handed model include?
The guitar features Schecter locking tuners for rock-solid tuning stability, a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width for precise intonation, and black and chrome hardware with metal knurled knobs for a refined, professional feel.
