Description
Schecter Omen Elite-7 Multiscale Guitar Black Cherry Burst
The Omen Elite-7 Multiscale is built for serious seven-string players who demand speed and precision. A thin "C" profile maple neck with 24 jumbo frets across a rosewood fingerboard handles rapid passages with ease. The multiscale design—ranging from 25.5" to 27"—keeps string tension consistent across all seven strings, giving you articulate highs and punchy lows without compromise. Black Cherry Burst finish and black hardware deliver stage presence and durability in a refined package.
Playability & Feel
This neck feels built for action. The thin "C" profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, cutting fatigue on extended gigs. A 16" fretboard radius pairs with 24 jumbo frets to lock your fingers in position across the board. Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut (1.889" width) maintains rock-solid tuning stability through setlists, while pearloid line inlays guide your hand in low light. Carbon fiber reinforcement rods stiffen the neck for sustain that lasts and stays put.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Heretic-7 pickups—bridge and neck—cut through the mix with articulate definition across all seven strings. Each note sits clear in a live mix without muddiness. Master volume and master tone controls with a 5-way pickup selector lever give you the voicing flexibility to dial in tight rhythm tones or singing lead textures. The Hipshot 7-string multiscale fixed bridge locks everything in place; expect intonation stability and sustain you can count on night after night.

What genres is this guitar built for?
The Omen Elite-7 excels in metal, progressive rock, hard rock, and drop-tuning styles. It is not optimized for jazz, traditional folk, or worship music.
