Schecter Reaper-6 FR S Electric Guitar in Satin Sky Burst
The Reaper-6 FR S is engineered for studio tracking and production work, with an ultra-thin "C"-shaped neck and set-neck construction with Ultra Access that facilitates rapid takes and comfortable position shifts across all 24 frets. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo system maintains pitch stability through expressive tremolo work and extended studio sessions, while the Swamp Ash body with Burl top and Satin Sky Burst finish provides sonic clarity and visual neutrality ideal for recording environments. This professional-grade instrument brings together versatile electronics, premium hardware, and meticulous build quality at a significant savings over new retail pricing.
Recording & Performance Characteristics
The neck measures .748" at the first fret and .787" at the 12th fret, delivering ergonomic control and reduced hand fatigue during long tracking sessions. With a 25.5" scale, 14" fretboard radius, and 24 X-Jumbo frets seated in Ebony, this guitar captures both articulate single-note passages and complex chord voicings with clarity and definition.
Tone & Electronics for Production
The Schecter Diamond Decimator bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup configuration produces cutting high-end definition paired with sustained harmonic layers that sit distinctly in dense mixes. Dedicated controls include a 3-way pickup selector, on-off Sustainiac switch, and 3-way Sustainiac mode switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) for rapid tonal transitions across aggressive rock, metal, and textural experimental work within a single session.

How reliable is the Floyd Rose tremolo for aggressive playing?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo with 1.625-inch nut width locks in tuning reliably during aggressive play, whammy abuse, and dive-bombs, making it dependable for live and studio use in high-intensity styles.
