Schecter Reaper-6 Left Handed Electric Guitar in Satin Charcoal Burst
Description
Schecter Reaper-6 Left Handed Electric Guitar in Satin Charcoal Burst
The Reaper-6 sits in your hands with the commanding feel of a purpose-built left-handed instrument. The ultra-thin 'C' neck contour and set-neck construction with Ultra Access make this guitar responsive across the fretboard, whether you're locked in during a marathon gig or exploring complex arrangements. Every component—from the Schecter tuners to the string-thru hardtail bridge—is executed for left-handed players with full attention to balance and ergonomic flow. Finished in satin charcoal burst over a swamp ash body with burl maple top, it combines visual presence with the practical durability a working musician demands.
Playability & Feel
The 25.5" scale paired with a maple/walnut multi-ply neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods creates a rock-solid foundation that won't twist or flex under aggressive bending or palm-muting. The ebony fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and 14" radius invites confident, articulate playing—smooth for slurs and legato lines, precise for fast single-note runs. The 1.653" Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut locks your strings in place, delivering consistent tone from open position and maintaining tuning stability throughout a set.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond Decimator bridge pickup and Schecter Diamond neck pickup capture clear articulation and sustaining body in equal measure, shaped by a master volume, push-pull master tone control, and 3-way pickup selector to dial in your sound on the fly. The string-thru hardtail bridge locks vibration into the body for tight, resonant sustain—a tone-shaping advantage that keeps your playing clean and focused on stage.
