Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top and neck-through wenge/ebony construction gives this Reaper-6 a warm low-end foundation with tightened attack and extended sustain, while the 25.5" scale keeps strings taut and note definition clear under high gain. Its dual Schecter USA San Andreas pickups are articulate and punchy across a wide dynamic range, with the push-pull tone control and 3-way switch opening up bridge bite, rounder neck voicings, and blended in-between sounds. Best suited to modern metal, progressive rock, and hard rock players who want fast lead runs and tight rhythm work, though the cleaner blended positions handle lighter passages as well.
Schecter Reaper-6 Elite Guitar Blood Burst
The Reaper-6 Elite sits comfortably in your hands thanks to its Ultra Thin "C" neck and neck-through construction that grants effortless access to upper frets during live performance. The 25.5" scale paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and 12"-16" compound radius fretboard lets you bend aggressively without sacrificing intonation stability across the entire neck. Finished in Blood Burst gloss, this instrument projects presence on stage while delivering the playability you need for extended sets.
Build & Hardware
The body's Khaya African Mahogany core with quilted maple top produces solid resonance and sustain, while the neck's wenge construction with carbon fiber reinforcement rods ensures rock-solid stability through heavy playing and climate changes. The ebony fretboard provides durability that holds up to touring schedules and visual distinction that cuts through stage lighting. Hardware throughout—Hipshot Ibby HM bridge, Grover tuners, and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut cut to 1.643"—is finished in black and chrome for a unified, professional appearance that maintains tuning integrity night after night.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter USA San Andreas pickups articulate cleanly in the mix with punchy attack and responsive dynamics that translate well in live rooms and on recordings. The control layout keeps things straightforward—volume/tone with push-pull functionality and a 3-way pickup selector—so you can dial between bridge, neck, and blended positions without fumbling on stage.
