Description
Schecter Reaper-6 Elite Guitar Deep Ocean Blue
The ultra-thin "C" neck profile on this Reaper-6 Elite delivers immediate comfort and speed, gliding effortlessly under your fingers for both aggressive passages and intricate lead work. The contoured body and thru-neck construction create a seamless playing experience that minimizes fatigue during extended sessions. Paired with its striking deep ocean blue finish, this guitar combines ergonomic excellence with visual presence in the studio or on stage.
Playability & Construction
A wenge neck with ebony fretboard and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets provide fast, responsive playability with excellent durability for session work. The ultra-thin "C" neck shape measures .748" at the first fret and .787" at the 12th fret, while the 12"-16" compound radius fretboard balances comfort for open chords with precision for higher-fret lead passages. Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensure stable tuning across takes and overdubs, while Ultra Access thru-neck design grants comfortable reach to the highest frets for capturing those critical lead moments.
Tone & Recording Versatility
Dual Schecter USA San Andreas pickups deliver versatile voicing across heavy riffs, articulate mids, and bright lead tones without requiring mid-range scooping—assets that translate to recordings with character and definition. The volume/tone push-pull control with 3-way switch and Hipshot Ibby HM bridge provide reliable hardware for both aggressive picking and expressive playing dynamics that capture nuance during layering. The khaya African mahogany body with quilted maple veneer top contributes natural sustain and resonance that rewards extended takes and supports clarity across mix contexts.
