Frequently asked questions
What is the main pickup difference between these two?
The Reaper-6 FR S has a Sustainiac neck pickup with harmonic modes designed for ambient and textural tones, plus a Diamond Decimator bridge pickup. The MV-6 has three standard Schecter Diamond 351 pickups (bridge, neck, middle) with a 5-way switch for traditional rock and metal tones.
Which guitar is easier to maintain and modify?
The MV-6's bolt-on neck design allows quick neck removal and adjustment via heel-access truss rod, making maintenance simpler. The Reaper-6 FR S uses set-neck construction for stability and sustain, which requires professional work for any neck adjustments.
Is the Reaper-6 FR S better for technical playing?
Yes. The Reaper-6 FR S features set-neck construction with Ultra Access, a 25.5" scale, carbon-fiber reinforced neck, and 14" radius specifically designed for fast, complex passages and extended-range work. The MV-6 is also capable but designed more for general versatility.
How do the body weights and playing comfort compare?
The MV-6 weighs 7 lbs 5.5 oz and is explicitly designed to minimize fatigue. The Reaper-6 FR S uses a Swamp Ash body with Burl Maple top and offers an ultra-thin C-neck; weight is not specified but the design emphasizes upper-fret ergonomics over light weight.
