Schecter's Reaper: a modern double-cut solidbody that sits mid-range in Schecter's own line.

Watch

YouTube video Guitar Center · 2019-02 — Guitar Center's Tim Stewart plays the Schecter Reaper 6 and covers its multiscale-neck specs.

Why it matters

The Reaper-6 carries a maple/walnut multi-ply neck with carbon reinforcement rods and an ebony fretboard, which is more neck construction than the price usually buys. Schecter lists it below the FR S and Elite versions of the same shape, so it is the model to compare against imports from other brands. It is aimed at players who want modern appointments without a signature-model price.

Note

Walnut-top modern line at accessible prices.

Specifications

  • Scale length: 647.7 mm (25.5 in)
  • Neck shape: Ultra Thin C

Before you buy

  • The Reaper-6, FR S and Elite are different builds at different prices
  • Multi-ply necks feel different from a one-piece maple neck
  • Confirm the pickup set on the specific model
