Description
Schecter Reaper-7 Elite Multiscale Guitar Blood Burst
The fanned frets of this Reaper-7 Elite Multiscale conform naturally to your fretting hand, making complex chord shapes and rapid runs feel effortless across all seven strings. The resonant khaya mahogany body and wenge neck with carbon fiber reinforcement deliver thick, articulate tone with excellent sustain and natural compression. Engineered for tracking extended-range compositions across metal, progressive, and fusion genres with both ergonomic precision and tonal character that cuts through dense mixes.
Recording & Session Performance
The 25.5" to 27" multiscale design ensures perfectly balanced string tension for consistent intonation across all registers, critical for punchy tracking and layering. The ultra-thin "C" neck profile measures just 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, enabling rapid overdubs and clean takes without hand fatigue. Neck-through construction with ultra access and a 16" fretboard radius provide stability and smooth playability across the entire 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets for precise, repeatable performances.
Tone & Pickup Response
Dual Schecter USA San Andreas 7 Multiscale pickups capture punchy lows and soaring highs with dynamic response to pick attack and playing intensity—ideal for sculpting definition in the low-end while maintaining presence in dense arrangements. Volume and tone controls with push-pull function plus a 3-way switch provide tonal shaping options for different recording scenarios without unnecessary complexity.
