Description
Schecter Omen Extreme-7 Electric Guitar in See-Thru Black Finish
The Omen Extreme-7 delivers a comfortable, fast playing experience thanks to its thin "C"-shaped maple neck and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 26.5" extended scale. The quilted maple top and mahogany body paired with Schecter Diamond Plus pickups produce a balanced, articulate tone suitable for both clean and high-gain applications. This seven-string configuration opens substantial sonic range for extended-range playing.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, creating a modern, approachable feel for both standard and aggressive playing styles. 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" fretboard radius combined with the 26.5" scale enable fast position shifts and precise intonation across the extended seven-string range, while abalone and pearloid vector inlays provide clear visual reference points.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Plus pickups deliver articulate, responsive output across the frequency spectrum with a three-way switch providing bridge, split, and neck voicing options. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body design maximizes sustain and tonal clarity, while the volume/volume/tone (push-pull) control configuration gives players immediate access to coil-splitting for tonal versatility.
