Description
Schecter Reaper-7 Elite Multiscale Guitar Deep Ocean Blue
The Reaper-7 Elite Multiscale sits comfortably in your hands across all seven strings thanks to its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and thru-body construction with Ultra Access cutaway. The multiscale design—ranging from 25.5" to 27"—provides balanced tension and response across the entire extended range, while the Deep Ocean Blue finish showcases the quilted maple top with striking visual appeal.
Playability & Feel
An ultra-thin "C" neck paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard makes fast runs effortless with excellent note definition and minimal finger fatigue during extended sessions. The multiscale configuration—spanning 25.5" at the treble side to 27" at the bass—maintains consistent string tension and intonation across all seven strings, making lower tunings and extended range playing responsive and articulate under your fingers on stage.
Tone & Electronics
Paired Schecter USA San Andreas 7 Multiscale pickups in both bridge and neck positions deliver articulate, high-output tones that cut through a live mix with clarity and punch. The volume/tone control with push-pull switching and 3-way selector let you dial in your sound quickly between songs, while the neck-thru khaya African mahogany body with quilted maple veneer contributes warmth, sustain, and the solid reliability you need in a gigging instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the multiscale design beneficial for a seven-string guitar?
The multiscale design ranges from 25.5" on the treble side to 27" on the bass, maintaining consistent string tension and intonation across all seven strings. This means lower tunings and extended-range playing remain responsive and articulate without excessive slack or choke.
Is this guitar suitable for standard tuning and traditional styles?
No; the Reaper-7 Elite is engineered for progressive metal, modern rock, and extended-range playing. It's not optimized for blues, traditional jazz, or folk genres where a standard six-string is more appropriate.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar comfortably?
Intermediate to advanced players will get the most from this instrument. The ultra-thin "C" neck and 24 frets support fast, technical playing, and the seven-string layout benefits musicians already comfortable with extended-range techniques.
What pickups come with this guitar, and how do they sound?
The Schecter USA San Andreas 7 Multiscale pickups are paired in bridge and neck positions, delivering high-output, articulate tones suited to modern and progressive styles. They're paired with a volume/tone control with push-pull switching and a 3-way selector for flexible tonal shaping.
What hardware and construction details support reliable playing?
The neck-thru khaya African mahogany body with carbon-fiber reinforcement rods ensures stability and sustain, while Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and a Hipshot 7-String Multiscale bridge keep tuning stable. Stainless steel X-Jumbo frets resist wear and maintain clarity over years of playing.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $119 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
