Schecter Omen Extreme-6 Blood Burst
Description
Schecter Omen Extreme-6 Blood Burst
The Omen Extreme-6 sits in the hand with a buttery smooth feel thanks to its thin, fast neck and precise intonation that locks in immediately. Dual Schecter Diamond Plus humbuckers cut through the mix with thick, articulate aggression—the kind of focused tone that carries on stage and translates through any amp. The dramatic Blood Burst finish turns heads while the bolt-on mahogany body with quilted maple top and crème multi-ply binding delivers both visual impact and solid tonal character.
Playability & Feel
The thin 'C' neck profile measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, letting your hand settle in naturally for hours of playing. Combined with a 14" fretboard radius, 24 X-Jumbo frets, the demanding passages and wide intervals feel effortless under your fingers. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut with 1.653" width and 2-way adjustable truss rod hold tuning stable across long sets while offering setup flexibility across the 25.5" scale.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond Plus bridge and neck pickups respond to your dynamics and deliver versatile tonal range through independent volume controls, a push-pull tone control, and 3-way switching. A Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body design locks in sustain and harmonic clarity that carries through a room, while metal knurled knobs with set screws and black nickel hardware stay put through gigs and refuse to move once you dial in your sound.
