Schecter Reaper-6 FR S Electric Guitar in Satin Charcoal Burst
Description
Schecter Reaper-6 FR S Electric Guitar in Satin Charcoal Burst
The Reaper-6 FR S is engineered for players who demand speed, precision, and control over extended range work. The Ultra Thin 'C' neck contour sits naturally in your hand, and the 24 X-Jumbo frets on an Ebony fingerboard make fast single-note passages and articulate technique feel effortless. Pair that with a lightweight, resonant body that responds instantly to pick attack, and you have an instrument that keeps pace with aggressive playing styles. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access gets you to the highest frets without wrestling the body out of playing position.
Playability & Construction
The neck's Maple/Walnut multi-ply core with carbon fiber reinforcement rods stays rock-solid through long sets and temperature swings—no dead spots, consistent sustain across the board. Measurements matter: 0.748" at the first fret tapers to 0.787" at the 12th fret, keeping the ultra-thin profile throughout your entire playing range. The 14" fretboard radius handles both open-string clarity and comfortable barre chords across the 25.5" scale, so you're never fighting the instrument's geometry.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond Decimator bridge pickup hits hard with aggressive articulation, while the Sustainiac neck pickup unlocks harmonic sustain and feedback control that sits perfectly in modern rock and metal contexts. You get real-time command: Master Volume, Master Tone, 3-Way Pickup Switch, 2-Way On-Off Sustainiac Switch, and 3-Way Sustainiac Mode Switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) let you shape your tone from traditional crunch to experimental textures mid-performance. The 9-volt battery compartment powers the Sustainiac system for endless sustain manipulation that tracks your playing dynamics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and extended-range playing?
Yes. The 25.5" scale, carbon-fiber-reinforced neck, Floyd Rose 1500 bridge, and tight low-end tone profile are engineered for low, extended-range tunings. The set-neck construction and Ebony fingerboard provide stable intonation and sustain across the 24 X-Jumbo frets.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
This is an intermediate to advanced and professional-level instrument. The ultra-thin 'C' neck and fast fret access suit experienced players who benefit from high-speed playability and precision; beginners may find the thin profile and extended range less forgiving.
What does the Sustainiac system do, and how do I use it?
The Sustainiac neck pickup generates endless sustain and harmonic feedback, controlled by a 2-way On-Off switch and a 3-Way Mode selector (Fundamental, Mix, or Harmonic). A 9-volt battery powers the system, allowing you to shape tones from traditional sustain to experimental feedback in real time.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best for?
The Reaper-6 FR S excels in metal, hard rock, and progressive music. Its aggressive articulation and high sustain are optimized for tight riffs, single-note clarity, and effect-driven textures; it is not well suited to jazz, folk, or worship styles.
How does the neck feel, and what are the key measurements?
The Ultra Thin 'C' contour measures 0.748" at the first fret and tapers to 0.787" at the 12th fret, creating a fast, comfortable playing surface. The 14" fretboard radius balances open-string clarity with barre-chord comfort across the 25.5" scale.
