Schecter Omen Elite-7 Multiscale Lefty Guitar Black Cherry Burst
Description
Schecter Omen Elite-7 Multiscale Lefty Black Cherry Burst
This left-handed seven-string sits naturally in the hands with its thin "C" neck profile and arched mahogany body with figured burl top. The multiscale design—ranging from 25.5" to 27"—tracks cleanly across all strings in standard or dropped tunings, and the wider fretboard geometry keeps reach manageable even with the extended range.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, enabling fast position shifts and keeping hand fatigue minimal through long sets. 24 jumbo frets on a 16" rosewood fretboard with pearloid line inlays respond with definition and sustain, while the Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (1.889" width) locks in rock-solid tuning stability and precise string spacing across all seven strings for reliable live performance.
Tone & Stage Presence
Dual Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups—bridge and neck positions—deliver aggressive, articulate output that cuts through a live mix without sacrificing clarity. The volume/tone control with five-way lever switch and metal knurled knobs sit ready for quick adjustments mid-performance, while the Hipshot 7-String Multiscale fixed bridge locks in tuning stability across all seven strings for uncompromising on-stage reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multiscale design, and why does it matter on a seven-string?
Multiscale means the scale length increases from treble to bass strings (25.5" to 27" here), improving ergonomics across a wider fretboard and tightening the low-end response without sacrificing playability. This design is especially useful for drop tunings and extended range because it maintains consistent string tension and articulation across all seven strings.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and progressive music?
Yes. The dual high-output Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups, tight low end, and aggressive character are specifically voiced for metal and progressive applications, and the Hipshot multiscale bridge ensures rock-solid tuning stability during aggressive playing.
What gauge strings come on this guitar?
The Omen Elite-7 Multiscale Lefty ships factory-strung with Ernie Ball 7-string gauge (.009–.062).
What is the neck profile, and will it suit someone coming from a six-string?
The thin "C" profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, offering quick access and reduced fatigue compared to thicker profiles. This slim shape makes the transition from six-string easier and supports extended playing sessions without hand strain.
Is this a bolt-on or set-neck construction?
This is bolt-on construction with black 1-ply binding, which is standard for modern extended-range guitars and offers reliable playability and durability.
