Schecter Omen Extreme-6 FR Electric Guitar - Vintage Sunburst Reviews
If you've been searching for a show-ready shred machine that plays right, sounds great, and doesn't break the bank, the Floyd Rose-equipped Schecter Omen Extreme-6 FR checks all the right boxes. Its thin "C" maple neck with flat-radius rosewood fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets lay the foundation for everything from fast runs to finger-tapping exploits. Its joined by a stunning quilt maple-topped mahogany body with a deep gloss finish and multi-ply crème binding, giving this axe tons of presence under stage lights. Sonically, the Omen Extreme-6 FR's capable Diamond Plus humbuckers with push-pull coil splits provide you with six pickup sounds for claiming your space in a mix. This FR model of the Omen Extreme-6 features a string-through-body Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo system that'll have you (and your guitar) squealing with delight. On the hardware side, you also get matching black chrome knobs and tuners to help you look and sound your best in any performance setting. If you're looking for a springboard into technical and aggressive styles of playing, Sweetwater guitar players recommend the Omen Extreme-6 FR.

Nice guitar!
This is a solid, versatile guitar! The neck is thin-ish, but not overly so. The finish on the neck is "satin" and not overly thick. The pickups sound great clean and having the coil tap makes this guitar very versatile. With some grit applied, the pickups take on an aggressive but still articulate character that sits well in the mix with a full band. The tremolo is functional and once setup properly stays in tune even with heavy use. The guitar is very appealing visually and I found no flaws whatsoever in the finish.
This guitar serves as a backup during gigs due to its versatility in sounds/tone. Overall I feel it was a good deal price wise. I appreciate the guitar gallery at Sweetwater, especially knowing the weight and look of the front of the guitar. The guitar arrived playable, but I did perform a bit of the usual setup expected on a new guitar (truss rod/action/intonation).
Amazing guitar
This guitar was a graduation present from my parents that I picked out. It takes a while to set up to your playing preference but when you get it done, it's amazing. I've been playing for years now and nothing plays as good as this one. The tone and quality of the guitar are amazing.
Absolutely killer guitar!
The finish is even better looking than it is online. The guitar is a good weight and the tone and sustain is perfect. I would have given it a perfect score but it wasn't perfect out of the box. I did my own setup on the Floyd Rose and next, along with the bridge saddles and intonation, even after paying for Sweetwater setup. It just wasn't great. And, then I went to play a gig on New Years 2021 and the bridge pickup had nothing. No sound, nothing. I got it checked out and the pickup died, which is very rare. I put a DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge and played it at a gig last weekend and it was perfect. I love Schecter guitars and this one is my second one.
From ; Robert in Seattle......
WOW, no one has written any review for this {"Battle Axe"} ??? For the price alone, it's worth the Looks! Playability! WOW; what a beautiful GUITAR....
I wrenched on it as soon as I signed for it. Took it into the JAM room, played on practice Amps, then I fired it up with my pedals & Katana 100w.and drove the apartment complex {"Crazy"}, but they love it and asked (what the HELL are you playing and on on what?} I waited for almost a year for this guitar to be restocked, Sweetwater did me justice! Price wise and two day shipping. I got to select which one I wanted, of course the heaviest one for sound/tone. Then I played as the set up was 55 point from seller and didn't really need a whole lot! With the split coils; I have a Telecaster/Stratocaster..... This Guitar amazes me, and I've been playing for 48 years!!!! Nice to have in my collection, Thank-You again Sweetwater. Very much appreciated guitar, services, and ALL else I've purchased from your company.
