Schecter Omen Elite-7 Multiscale Guitar See-Thru Blue Burst
Description
Schecter Omen Elite-7 Multiscale Guitar See-Thru Blue Burst
The Omen Elite-7 Multiscale locks in seven-string clarity across the entire fretboard with its thin "C"-profile maple neck and carefully graduated fretboard radius. The multiscale design—ranging from 25.5" to 27"—maintains punch and articulation in lower tunings while keeping the 24-jumbo-fret fingerboard responsive and comfortable to navigate. This right-handed configuration ships with factory-installed Ernie Ball 7-string (.009–.062) strings and full Schecter warranty coverage.
Playability & Build
The neck plays fast and tight with a thin "C" profile reinforced with carbon fiber rods, measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret for modern seven-string technique. A 16" fretboard radius on rosewood delivers smooth, consistent fretting action, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.889" wide) and Schecter tuners keep the instrument locked in across extended sessions. The mahogany body with arched burl top and black 1-ply binding balance visual presence on stage with bolt-on construction that translates pick attack directly into tone—no resonance lag.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups—bridge and neck—cut through live mixes with aggressive definition and capture the full frequency range of seven-string tuning. The volume/tone/5-way switch control layout lets you dial in tonal character without fumbling, while the Hipshot 7-String Multiscale Fixed Bridge in black hardware anchors sustain and locks intonation across the entire extended range, gig after gig.
