Description
Schecter Reaper-6 FR-S Elite Guitar Deep Ocean Blue
The Reaper-6 FR-S Elite sits in your hands like an extension of your body, thanks to its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and neck-through construction with Ultra Access that lets you reach every one of those 24 frets without struggle. The Deep Ocean Blue finish combined with the quilted maple veneer over khaya African mahogany turns heads on stage and in the studio, while the professional-grade construction promises years of reliable performance night after night.
Playability & Feel
The neck geometry is sculpted for speed and comfort: a 25.5" scale with compound fretboard radius (12"–16") means smooth, fast lead work flows naturally while aggressive bends stay controlled and responsive. 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets stay bright under your fingers and deliver consistent articulation from the open position to the upper register. The ultra-thin neck thickness (measuring .748" at the 1st fret and .787" at the 12th) wraps around your hand with minimal fatigue, while luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers keep you locked in during long sets.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA San Andreas bridge pickup paired with the Sustainiac neck pickup gives you articulate punch in the bridge position and singing sustain from the neck—all the tonal palette a working musician needs. Control options include volume/tone, 3-way pickup selection, 2-way Sustainiac on-off switch, and 3-way Sustainiac mode switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic), letting you craft everything from tight rhythm tones to soaring lead textures without hunting for a pedal. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge and nut lock your tuning rock-solid through dives and pulls, so you stay in-tune night after night.
