Sound & Tone
The Khaya African mahogany body and quilted maple top lend warmth and body underneath a tight, focused attack, while the neck-thru construction, wenge neck and ebony fretboard sharpen note definition and extend sustain. The Schecter USA San Andreas bridge pickup handles aggressive high-gain rhythm and cutting lead work, and the Sustainiac neck pickup adds infinite sustain with switchable fundamental, mix and harmonic modes for feedback-style swells and drawn-out melodic passages. With a 25.5" scale, 24 stainless frets, a 12"–16" compound radius and a Floyd Rose 1500 bridge, it suits modern metal, progressive and hard rock players who lean on shred phrasing, dive-bomb vibrato and sustained ambient textures.
Schecter Reaper-6 FR-S Elite Lefty Guitar Blood Burst
The Reaper-6 FR-S Elite left-handed configuration puts a pro-grade instrument in the hands of serious players. Its ultra-thin C-shaped wenge neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods cuts fast under your fingers, while the neck-thru construction with ultra access lets you attack the highest frets without restriction. Built for left-handers who won't compromise on technical performance, tonal range, or stage reliability.
Playability & Build
The neck-thru construction with ultra access kills upper-fret dead zones, while the ultrathin C-shaped wenge neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods stays solid under aggressive play and bends. The quilted maple top and Khaya African mahogany body look striking onstage and in the collector's case, finished with pearloid line inlays and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers for visibility in any lighting. A 25.5" scale, 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, and 12"–16" compound radius ebony fretboard handle fast single-note runs and full barre chords with equal authority.
Electronics & Hardware
Two pickups split the workload: the Schecter USA San Andreas bridge pickup delivers aggression and cut, while the Sustainiac neck pickup sustains and breathes. A full control arsenal—Volume/Tone/3-Way Pickup Switch/2-Way On-Off Sustainiac Switch/3-Way Sustainiac Mode Switch (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic)—sits within easy reach, letting you dial in everything from dirty drive to ambient textures on the fly. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge with locking nut and Grover tuners lock your pitch solid; vibrato stays true whether you're doing subtle bends or dive-bomb theatrics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the neck feel fast and suitable for technical metal lead playing?
The ultrathin C-shaped wenge neck is reinforced with carbon fiber rods for stability and a responsive playing surface, paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard with a 12–16 inch compound radius. Neck-thru construction with ultra access eliminates playability barriers all the way to the highest frets, making it ideal for fast, articulate lead work.
How does the Sustainiac pickup and control setup enhance tone and playing options?
The Sustainiac neck pickup works with a dedicated On-Off switch and 3-Way Mode selector (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic) to add infinite sustain and harmonic feedback textures without needing heavy gain alone. Combined with the Schecter USA San Andreas bridge pickup and comprehensive volume/tone/pickup switching, you can dial in everything from aggressive rhythm tones to singing lead harmonics.
Why is the Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge important for a touring or session instrument?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge with locking nut and Grover tuners delivers rock-solid tuning stability during vibrato use and keeps pitch locked even through aggressive playing or temperature changes. This reliability is essential for professional touring and demanding studio sessions where tuning consistency cannot slip.
What fretboard radius does this guitar have and how does it help both chords and lead playing?
The 12–16 inch compound radius fretboard accommodates smooth, low-action chord work near the nut while maintaining higher action and easier bending control higher on the fretboard. This design balances lead articulation and comfort for extended session work or touring.
Is this instrument set up specifically for left-handed players?
Yes, the Reaper-6 FR-S Elite is built in a full left-handed configuration with controls, pickup switching, and hardware mirrored for left-handed ergonomics and playability.
