Description
Schecter Omen-6 Electric Guitar in Walnut Satin Finish
The Schecter Omen-6 is built for players who demand fast, responsive action without compromise. Its thin 'C'-profile maple neck and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale put you in command on stage or in the studio. The walnut satin finish looks professional under lights while staying practical—no high-gloss sheen to wear through during regular gigging. The arched-top basswood body paired with bolt-on construction delivers solid sustain and resonance, and the classic design ensures years of reliable performance night after night.
Playability & Feel
The thin 'C' neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, gripping your hand with a slim profile that works equally well for standard picking and aggressive lead work. 24 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 14" fretboard radius and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut let you bend freely with confidence and nail intonation across the entire board, while the 1.653" nut width keeps string spacing comfortable and articulate.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Plus pickups voice your playing across rock, metal, blues, and beyond—controlled through a straightforward volume/tone/3-way switch that won't fail you mid-set. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body design locks in sustain and resonance, anchoring your tone with authority, while black chrome hardware resists corrosion and tarnish through heavy touring schedules.
