Sound & Tone
The khaya mahogany body with quilted maple top, wenge neck and neck-through construction give this Reaper-7 a thick, sustaining core with clear note separation, while the 25.5"–27" multiscale keeps the low seventh string tight and defined rather than loose. Schecter USA San Andreas 7 pickups push punchy lows and cutting highs with a dynamic response to pick attack, and the push-pull volume and tone plus 3-way switch add coil options for cleaner, thinner voicings. Suited to metal, progressive and fusion playing where low-tuned riffing needs to stay articulate and lead lines need to sing over it, with the ebony board and stainless frets adding a bright, snappy attack.
Schecter Reaper-7 Elite Multiscale Guitar Blood Burst
The fanned frets of this Reaper-7 Elite Multiscale conform naturally to your fretting hand, making complex chord shapes and rapid runs feel effortless across all seven strings. The resonant khaya mahogany body and wenge neck with carbon fiber reinforcement deliver thick, articulate tone with excellent sustain and natural compression. Built for metal, progressive, and fusion players who demand both ergonomic precision and tonal character.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is multiscale, and why does the 25.5" to 27" range matter?
Multiscale (or fanned) frets angle across the fretboard so each string has a different scale length. The Reaper-7 ranges from 25.5 inches on the high string to 27 inches on the low string, which balances string tension equally across all seven strings and makes fret access and chord shapes feel natural without compromise. This design eliminates the floppy feel of longer-scale 7-strings and the tightness of shorter scales.
Is this guitar suitable for metal, and what genre fit should I expect?
Yes—this is purpose-built for metal, progressive, djent, and fusion. The thick articulate tone, excellent sustain, and punchy lows with soaring highs make it ideal for those styles. It is not voiced for jazz, blues, or folk, so if you play those genres primarily, this tonal character may not suit your needs.
How thin is the neck, and will it feel fast enough for lead work?
The neck measures just 0.748 inches at the first fret and 0.787 inches at the 12th fret—an ultra-thin C profile designed for maximum speed and comfort. Paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on a 16-inch radius ebony fretboard, the fretboard supports rapid runs and complex shapes without binding or drag.
What pickups come with this guitar, and can I adjust the tone?
The guitar ships with Schecter USA San Andreas 7 Multiscale bridge and neck pickups, which deliver punchy lows and soaring highs with dynamic response to pick attack. A 3-way switch, volume control, tone control with push-pull function provide solid tonal flexibility without unnecessary complexity.
Does it hold tuning well, and what hardware is included?
Yes. The Hipshot 7-string multiscale fixed bridge ensures precise intonation and sustain, paired with Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners for stability. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.889 inches wide) is sized specifically for 7-string multiscale and supports consistent tuning across all strings.
