Schecter Omen Extreme-FR Electric Guitar in Black Cherry Finish
Description
Schecter Omen Extreme-FR Electric Guitar in Black Cherry Finish
The Omen Extreme-FR is built for players who need a fast, responsive neck and rock-solid tuning stability through aggressive playing. The thin, fast neck profile with 24 X-Jumbo frets feeds into a Floyd Rose Special bridge and locking nut system that locks in pitch through dive-bombs and sustained bending. Backed by an arched quilted maple top over mahogany, this guitar delivers both visual presence and tonal substance for the stage.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck shape—measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret—cuts through crowded fretboards and lets your hands move freely across the extended range. The 25.5" scale, 14" fretboard radius, and 24 X-Jumbo frets combine to support lightning-fast lead work, smooth bends, and comfortable reach. Rosewood fretboard with abalone and pearloid vector inlays feels smooth under the fingers and stays visually sharp under gigging conditions.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Plus pickups articulate with clarity in the neck position and bite hard in the bridge—essential for cutting through live mixes. Independent volume controls and a push-pull tone knob let you dial in your sound before hitting the stage. The solid mahogany body with quilted maple top generates balanced sustain and midrange punch that sits well in rock, metal, and high-gain rigs.
