Description
Schecter Reaper-6 Custom Lefty Guitar Gloss Black
The Reaper-6 Custom Lefty sits in the hands with immediately noticeable comfort, thanks to its Ultra Thin "C" neck profile and precisely dimensioned fretboard that lets you attack aggressive lead passages and sustain long studio sessions without your hand fatiguing. Built for left-handed players who demand pro-level performance, this instrument pairs premium materials with battle-ready hardware—it plays with authority the moment you strap it on.
Playability & Construction
The neck-thru design with Ultra Access body joint opens up the upper frets without sacrificing the structural rigidity and singing sustain that define a stage-ready instrument. A 25.5" scale paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12" to 16" compound radius ebony fretboard gives you a responsive platform for tight intonation and effortless bending across the entire neck, locked in by a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width and Schecter locking tuners that hold pitch through any setlist.
Tone & Live Performance
Dual Schecter USA San Andreas pickups cut through a mix with articulate, muscular tone and responsive dynamics that track your picking dynamics across the full spectrum. The Volume/Tone (Push-Pull) control with 3-way switch configuration lets you sculpt your sound on the fly, while the Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design maximizes resonance and sustain with minimal tonal loss—essential for gigging and recording.
