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
Is this guitar suitable for left-handed players, and is the entire instrument mirrored?
Yes, the Reaper-6 FR-S Elite comes in full left-handed configuration, with the neck, body contours, pickups, controls, and Floyd Rose 1500 bridge all designed specifically for left-handed play. All hardware and electronics are positioned for left-handed comfort and functionality.
What does the Sustainiac neck pickup do, and how do I control it?
The Sustainiac pickup generates infinite sustain and harmonic textures through three switchable modes: Fundamental (pitch sustain), Mix (blend of sustain and harmonics), and Harmonic (pure harmonic overtones). An on-off switch and a 3-way mode selector on the body give you instant access to all three sounds during play.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar designed for?
The Reaper-6 is purpose-built for metal, progressive, hard rock, and extended-range studio work. It excels at articulate lead playing, aggressive drive, and dynamic tonal range, but is not optimized for jazz, blues, or folk styles.
How does the neck-thru construction affect upper-fret access?
Neck-thru construction eliminates the body heel, allowing seamless access to all 24 frets with an ultra-access cutaway. This design is essential for technical metal and progressive playing where upper-fret speed and reach are critical.
What fretboard radius does this guitar have, and why does it matter?
The Reaper-6 features a 12-inch to 16-inch compound radius, which flattens toward the higher frets. This supports smooth, fast lead work and string bending in the upper register while maintaining clean chord definition in lower positions.
