A Floyd Rose-loaded Player's Delight

If you've been searching for a show-ready machine that plays right, sounds great, and doesn't break the bank, the Floyd Rose-equipped Schecter Omen Extreme FR checks all the right boxes. Its Thin "C" maple neck with a 14-inch radius fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets lay the foundation for fast runs and finger tapping. It's joined with a mahogany body and maple veneer whose deep gloss finish and multi-ply crème binding give this axe tons of presence under stage lights. Sonically, the Omen Extreme FR's capable Diamond Plus humbuckers with push-pull coil splits give you six pickup sounds for claiming your space in a mix. This FR model of the Omen Extreme features a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo system that'll have you (and your guitar) squealing with delight. On the hardware side of things, you also get matching knobs and tuners to help you look and sound your best in any performance setting. Beginner to intermediate, if you're looking for a springboard into technical and aggressive styles of playing, Sweetwater guitar players recommend the Omen Extreme FR.

Maple-topped mahogany body

An tried-and-trued body pairing of figured maple on rich mahogany gives the Schecter Omen Extreme FR its premium visuals and tonal core. Crème multi-ply binding that extends from the body all the way up the neck into the headstock gives this guitar a look that's unmatched by its peers.

Supersonic neck, frets, and fingerboard

Neck feel is where the rubber meets the road for many guitarists. We're pleased to report that the Schecter Omen Extreme FR is spec'd to support technical styles of playing. Its Thin "C" maple neck profile feels right in the hand from heel to headstock. And whether you're sweep-picking or arpeggiating, its 14-inch-radius fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets go a long way in preventing buzzes, fret outs, and hand cramps.

Coil-splittable Diamond Plus pickups

Whether you need brutalizing crunch or silky-smooth cleans, the Omen Extreme FR has you covered. Its Diamond Plus humbucking pickups have tone and flexibility to go with the distance with you, stage to studio. Coil splitting is activated by a simple push-pull mechanism on the tone pot. Together with its 3-way selector, the Omen Extreme FR gives you a total of six distinct pickup combinations for interacting with your music, fusion to blues, rock to metal.

Genuine Floyd Rose Special tailpiece

Schecter didn't give the Omen Extreme FR just any old tremolo, they went for the real deal: a Floyd Rose Special. The Floyd Rose Special is an authentic Floyd Rose design, which gives you the same design as an original vintage model, plus the advantage of lightweight zinc alloy components. Thanks to its double-locking design, you can dive, whammy, and flutter all night with this trem.

Schecter Omen Extreme FR Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Extreme tone meets advanced playability
  • Quilt maple on rich mahogany: a tried-and-true body combo
  • Gloss finish springs to life under stage lights
  • Head-to-toe crème multi-ply binding and black chrome hardware

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Beautiful shredding guitar!

I was impressed with the "demo" model Schecter Omen 6 FR as soon as I took it out of the box! From the time I ordered it to delivery Sweetwater did an outstanding job with ensuring my delivery was on time. My Sales Engineer Mike Winebrenner made sure I was informed and that he was available for me if I had any questions or concerns. Their packing was absolutely fantastic. It was double boxed with packing material between the boxes to ensure my guitar arrived in perfect condition. The outside of the box was not damaged at all. The inside box also had extra protection for my guitar. The 55 point inspection was done because it was in tune right out of the box. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and I will continue to buy my guitars from Sweetwater!

Love it more than I thought I would.

I bought mine knowing it was discounted as blemished guitar. Probably a display model, but it didn't bother me as long as it plays nicely.
It arrived well packaged and actually still in tune. Since they took care in inspecting it before shipping, I really had no set-up to do on it. I inspected it based on the photos of the blemished, and it's really very hard to see any of them. It still has the protective plastic film over the pick-ups.
The thing is beautiful, and looks like something worth way more than it costs. The recessed knobs and the black chrome, the trim and details really aren't done justice in photos.
It's been many years since I've picked up an axe and played anything, but I love the feel of this guitar. I took a chance on it since I'd never even touched a Schecter and pretty much had it in my mind that they were a strictly metal thrashing / shredding guitar. I was looking for something something tonally diverse and wasn't even considering Schecter, but this guitar caught my eye and didn't let go. I'm glad I got it. I can play any genre of music with it. I might experiment with different pickups in the future, but these crunch and clean just fine.
Many thanks go out to sales engineer James Wroblewski for his assistance through the process of getting my guit to me. I'm really pleased with this purchase and happy with my experience with Sweetwater.

My second Omen Extreme-6

I purchased the fixed bridge version of this guitar and was so impressed with every aspect of it that I decided to get a second one with the Floyd Rose. First the good: as with my other Schecter, the guitar is stunning and looks much more expensive than it is. The binding is perfect, the wood is gorgeous, and the hardware has a very cool but subtle "smoked chrome" finish that I love. The inlays alone will make people think this is a 4-figure guitar. The pickups sound great, as well.

Now the bad: my last one was perfectly set up out of the box and required no adjustments. This one was a little high, but no big deal (I thought). When I went to lower the bridge, I noticed it was already flush with the top of the guitar, and there's very little room to adjust it down lower without the front of the Floyd Rose hitting the bottom of the cavity. I'm considering a neck shim, which is unfortunate for a new guitar. I don't know if this is typical of this model of guitar, or if mine is a fluke.

My first Schecter was as good as any $ guitar I own and I gave it 5 stars. This one doesn't reach that level, but still warrants 4 stars given what you get for the price.
by Ross from Washington on

Very nice, though not for me

This is an extremely nice guitar in my view, especially if you like a neck in between extremely thin/fast necks and something which fills your hand. The fretwork and neck inlays were great, and the finish on the top were gorgeous. The whole guitar is solid-feeling and even though the pickups are not high-end, it has a good tone that would certainly improve with a pupgrade.

The guitar arrived with very low action, to the point that the entire fifth and sixth string had pronounced fret buzz, and significant buzz on lower frets of other strings. This would be resolved with a proper setup.

The guitar unfortunately caused me numbness during extended play due to the lack of an arm contour, where the edge hits my right arm. For someone where this wouldn't be an issue, I can definitely recommend this model. If you think you might have an issue with a thick guitar with a pronounced edge, you should try it at a local store first to avoid being charged double shipping on the return.
