Description
Sound & Tone
The khaya African mahogany neck-thru body brings warmth and long sustain, while the wenge neck and ebony fretboard add clarity and crisp note definition. A pair of Schecter USA San Andreas 7 Multiscale pickups delivers articulate, high-output tones, and push-pull switching with a 3-way selector offers flexible tonal shaping. The 25.5" to 27" multiscale design keeps the low seventh string tight and responsive in lower tunings, making it well suited to modern metal, progressive, and other extended-range styles.
Schecter Reaper-7 Elite Multiscale Guitar Deep Ocean Blue
The Reaper-7 Elite Multiscale is built for tracking seven-string parts with precision and clarity across the entire extended range. Its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and thru-body construction with Ultra Access cutaway enable fast, ergonomic tracking sessions, while the multiscale design—ranging from 25.5" to 27"—maintains balanced tension and response that translates directly into the mix. The Deep Ocean Blue finish showcases the quilted maple top with striking visual appeal.
Recording Response & Playability
An ultra-thin "C" neck paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard captures note definition with minimal finger noise and excellent articulation during overdubs. The multiscale configuration—spanning 25.5" at the treble side to 27" at the bass—maintains consistent string tension and intonation across all seven strings, ensuring lower tunings and extended range material stays locked and punchy in the mix.
Sonic Character & Signal
Paired Schecter USA San Andreas 7 Multiscale pickups in both bridge and neck positions capture articulate, high-output tones suited to modern and progressive production. The volume/tone control with push-pull switching and 3-way selector provide real-time tonal adjustments during layering and arrangement, while the neck-thru khaya African mahogany body with quilted maple veneer contributes warmth and sustain that sits well in dense mixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the multiscale design important for a seven-string?
The multiscale spans 25.5" on the treble side to 27" on the bass side, keeping string tension balanced and consistent across all seven strings even in drop tunings. This preserves articulation and intonation on lower strings while avoiding dead or flabby response, critical for modern metal and djent playing.
Is this guitar suitable for standard tuning, or only drop tunings?
It excels in both standard and drop tunings. The multiscale design maintains balanced tension whether you're playing standard E or dropped tunings, making it versatile across progressive, metal, and djent styles without tonal compromise.
What is the neck profile, and will it feel different from a standard six-string?
The ultra-thin C-profile measures 0.748" at the first fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, significantly thinner than most extended-range guitars. This minimizes finger fatigue on long playing sessions and speeds up position changes across the seven strings.
What pickups are included, and can they be swapped?
The bridge and neck positions use Schecter USA San Andreas 7 Multiscale pickups, engineered specifically for extended-range articulation and high-output response. They are removable, so upgrades or replacements are possible if needed in the future.
What does the Deep Ocean Blue finish look like, and what's underneath?
Deep Ocean Blue is a striking solid-color finish over a quilted maple veneer top, providing both visual presence and the tonal warmth of the khaya African mahogany body underneath. The quilted maple layer adds aesthetic depth without compromising the sustain and resonance.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
