Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body with ebony fretboard and 25.5" scale gives this Reaper a tight, articulate voice with firm low end and cutting attack, while the Diamond Decimator bridge pickup pushes aggressive high-end definition for palm-muted riffing and fast lead runs. The Sustainiac neck pickup adds infinite sustain with selectable Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes, opening up singing leads, feedback-style swells, and layered harmonic textures. Paired with the Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo and 24 X-Jumbo frets, it lands squarely in metal and hard rock territory, with enough tonal range for experimental and ambient playing.
Schecter Reaper-6 FR S Electric Guitar in Satin Sky Burst
The Reaper-6 FR S sits naturally in your hands thanks to its ultra-thin "C"-shaped neck and set-neck construction with Ultra Access, letting you move seamlessly through rhythm work and lead passages across all 24 frets. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo system holds pitch rock-solid during aggressive play, while the Swamp Ash body with Burl top and Satin Sky Burst finish commands attention on stage. This professional-grade instrument combines versatile electronics, premium hardware, and meticulous build quality at a significant savings over new retail pricing.
Playability & Ergonomics
The neck measures .748" at the first fret and .787" at the 12th fret, delivering substantial comfort and control without excess bulk. With a 25.5" scale, 14" fretboard radius, and 24 X-Jumbo frets seated in Ebony, this guitar responds with speed and precision for both technical passages and open voicings.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond Decimator bridge pickup and Sustainiac neck pickup configuration cuts through the mix with aggressive high-end articulation while delivering expressive sustain and harmonic layering. Dedicated controls include a 3-way pickup selector, on-off Sustainiac switch, and 3-way Sustainiac mode switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) for expansive tonal possibilities across metal, hard rock, and experimental styles.
