Sound & Tone
The Khaya African Mahogany body and wenge neck give this Reaper-6 a warm, dense low-mid foundation, while the ebony fretboard and Hipshot hardtail with string-thru-body add tightness, clarity and long sustain. The Schecter USA San Andreas humbuckers at bridge and neck deliver articulate, muscular output with strong dynamic response, and the push-pull tone control plus 3-way switch let you move from thick rhythm crunch to leaner, more vocal lead voices. With its 25.5" scale, stainless X-Jumbo frets and compound-radius board, it suits hard rock and metal rhythm work as well as fast lead playing, and the left-handed configuration makes that range accessible to lefty players.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the neck profile and how does it feel during long playing sessions?
The Ultra Thin C-neck profile measures 0.748" at the 1st fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended play. This slimmer profile suits aggressive lead work and comfortable bending across the 24 X-Jumbo frets without sacrificing structural integrity.
What pickups are in this guitar and what tone should I expect?
The Reaper-6 Custom Lefty uses dual Schecter USA San Andreas pickups that deliver articulate, muscular output with responsive dynamics, tight sustain, and a present midrange. These pickups excel in metal, hard rock, and progressive styles where clarity and cut are essential.
How does the neck-thru construction affect sustain and playability?
Neck-thru design keeps the neck bonded all the way through the body, maximizing sustain and structural integrity while the Ultra Access body joint provides seamless access to upper frets. The Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design further maximizes resonance with minimal harmonic loss.
Is this guitar suitable for genres other than metal and hard rock?
The Reaper-6 Custom Lefty is optimized for metal, hard rock, progressive, and djent styles. Its articulate, high-output character and tight sustain are not well-suited to jazz, folk, or country playing.
What hardware and tuning stability features does this left-handed model include?
The guitar features Schecter locking tuners for rock-solid tuning stability, a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width for precise intonation, and black and chrome hardware with metal knurled knobs for a refined, professional feel.
