Description
Schecter Omen Extreme-6 FR Electric Guitar in See-Thru Black Finish
The Omen Extreme-6 FR delivers a fast, comfortable playing experience with its thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets designed for extended range work and aggressive playing styles. The Floyd Rose Special bridge and locking nut system provide tuning stability and dive-bomb versatility, while the quilted maple top with deep gloss finish and see-thru black lacquer creates striking visual appeal. This is a purpose-built instrument for players who demand precision hardware and responsive electronics in a professionally appointed package.
Playability & Construction
The bolt-on mahogany body with quilted maple top and crème multi-ply binding pairs with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard featuring abalone and pearloid vector inlays. The thin 'C' profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, enabling rapid position shifts across the 25.5" scale, while the 14" fretboard radius and 1.625" nut width support both chording and lead work without hand fatigue. The neck sits comfortably through long sets, with a profile that accelerates fretting-hand movement and minimizes fatigue during technical passages.
Electronics & Hardware
Dual Schecter Diamond Plus humbucker pickups deliver articulate, aggressive tones that cut through live mixes without sacrificing clarity. The control layout features two independent volume controls, a master tone control with push/pull coil-split activation, and a 3-way pickup selector switch, giving you tonal flexibility across a wide range of styles. The Floyd Rose Special locking nut and bridge system locks in tuning stability across aggressive playing and extreme pitch bends, while black chrome hardware and Schecter tuners ensure reliable operation night after night.
