Description
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-thru construction with ultra access beneficial?
Neck-thru design eliminates playability barriers at the highest frets, giving you seamless access to the upper register. The ultra access cutaway ensures left-handed players can reach frets 20 and beyond without obstruction.
How do the Sustainiac and San Andreas pickups work together?
The Schecter USA San Andreas bridge pickup delivers aggressive drive and articulate lead definition, while the Sustainiac neck pickup adds sustained harmonic textures. A 2-way on-off switch and 3-way mode selector (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) let you blend or switch between them for dynamic tonal shaping.
Is this guitar suitable for traditional jazz or acoustic folk?
No; the Reaper-6 FR-S Elite is engineered for metal, progressive, and hard rock. Its pickup configuration, control suite, and tonal character are not optimized for jazz or folk genres.
What tuning stability features does it have?
The Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge with locking nut and Grover tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability. The carbon fiber-reinforced wenge neck resists seasonal shifting, keeping your instrument in tune through extended sets.
What fretboard radius is this, and what does the 12-16 inch compound radius mean?
The fretboard transitions from a 12-inch radius at the nut (for easier chord work) to a 16-inch radius at the higher frets (for lead bend articulation and comfort). This compound design accommodates both smooth chord playing and dynamic soloing.
