Time to Meet the Reaper

Whether you play rock, metal, or fusion, the Schecter Reaper-6 FR S is a force to be reckoned with. This red-hot axe features a resonant poplar-burl-topped swamp ash body, ensuring maximum natural tone and killer looks. A high-output Diamond Decimator bridge humbucker makes the Reaper-6 FR S the sonic equivalent of a flame thrower but still gives you enough versatility to cover all of your tonal bases. What's more, Schecter gave the Reaper-6 FR S an ultra-cool Sustainiac neck pickup that lets you pull off flying solos like nothing else out there. As for comfort, after experiencing this guitar's sleek body contours, Ultra-access Neck Carve, and fast-playing ebony fingerboard, you'll have a hard time putting it down. The Reaper-6 FR S includes a Floyd Rose 1500 tremolo for rock-solid intonation. Eye-catching black and chrome hardware completes the package. This is one Reaper that you'll want to meet.

Natural tone and resonance

The Schecter Reaper-6 FR S is simmering with natural tone and resonance, thanks to its poplar-burl-crowned swamp ash body. The swamp ash imparts a musical blend of warmth, brightness, and midrange "pop." This already exquisite tone is then balanced out with a poplar burl veneer, which also lends to the Reaper-6 FR S a unique, eye-catching appearance. At Sweetwater, we appreciate an axe that produces great-sounding tone — even before you plug it in!

Face-melting humbucker

As great as the Reaper-6 FR S sounds acoustically, it was built to be plugged in — and you won't be disappointed! Its high-output Diamond Decimator bridge humbucker slices through the mix like hot adamantium but gives you enough versatility to conquer any sonic situation you might encounter. It also includes plenty of tonal control, by way of a master volume, master tone, and 3-way pickup selector.

Never-ending tone

You just can't beat the sheer sustain you'll get out of your Reaper-6 FR S's Sustainiac humbucking neck pickup. That's because this unique pickup design features a special sustain circuit that's designed to let notes ring on as long as you like. Just kick in the sustain circuit, play a note or chord on your Reaper-6 FR S, and let the electromagnetic feedback carry your sound as long as you like. You haven't busted out a solo till you've rocked a Reaper-6 FR S!

The Reaper Series — sleek, sharp, and aggressive

Schecter's Reaper Series is built for sonic domination. These axes boast poplar-burl-topped swamp ash bodies for supreme resonance and custom-shop-level looks. Ebony fingerboards and 5-ply maple/walnut Ultra-thin "C" set necks deliver unbelievable playability. Strap one of these babies on, and you'll enjoy extreme comfort, thanks to extensive body contouring and Ultra-access Neck Carves. Want tone that cuts like a scythe? If so, you'll appreciate the Reaper Series' high-output Diamond Decimator pickups. Schecter custom hardtail or Floyd Rose 1500 bridges supply rock-solid tuning. Complete with attractive black and chrome appointments, these guitars are top-drawer all the way.

Rated 5/5

Fabulous guitar.

Glad I had Sweetwater do a set up on this before it shipped. It plays and sounds fantastic. Also, this FR 1500 version trem may be the ONLY floating FR I have owned that works flawlessly. The sustaniac pick up is so much fun too! Thanks to Sam Cohee for helping me through.
Rated 5/5

Comparable to Some Of the Most High-End Guitars Out there

I bought this guitar to gig with since I did not want to gig with my Ibanez Prestige (because I play metal in some rough areas) and not only does this guitar sound killer (the Schecter pickups are comparable to EMGs by far). But it played just as well as my Ibanez, super thin neck profile, the Floyd Rose on it is similar to that of an Edge Tremolo which are some of my favorites.

Shred machine and true workhorse!

This thing

This thing is incredible. Literally sounds amazing. Solid steel Floyd rose and the Decimater pickup is probably the best pickup I've ever heard
Rated 5/5

Incredible craftsmanship and tone

This guitar is absolutely incredible, the tonal possibilities, the craftsmanship, the neck, the fretwork, I mean, everything on this guitar is top notch. I could not be happier.
Rated 5/5

AS IF IT WAS CUSTOM MADE FOR ME

This is my most enjoyable guitar. Let me start by saying that this is also my first guitar over $1000 and it would not be fair to compare it to my other guitars ranging from $150 used to around $400.

I was introduced to Schecter by some youtube channels, and I am very glad. This was also my 1st purchase from sweetwater, as I normally go to GC so you can play what you want to buy. (Every order from now on will go to sweetwater)

The Schecter reaper 6-FRS
Shipped double boxed and packaged super well. (Case shipped separately.)
The fit of every part and the finish of the guitar is flawless, and I mean perfect.
The diamond decimator pickup sound is amazing. I am a big fan and user of BIAS FX2 by positive grid, so 99% of my playing goes thru a interface and out monitors. The combination of this guitar with my current set up is explosive. This is the guitar I should have bought years ago. As for the neck pickup, that sounds super good too and when slapping on that sustainiac it inspires the wildest sound in your mind. (The sound I had in mind is not what came from the monitors...I'll practice a little on the whammy) It works great on harmonics and bends too.

Out of the box, the action was very nice and fairly low, with no fret buzz. neck is sleek and comfortable. The floyd rose is a dream to me as I do have another cheaper guitar that will go out of tune in 5 minutes when using the whammy.
This guitar stays in tune very well.

If you are on the fence about this guitar, go ahead, you wont regret it. I use this for all metal, rock and even clean tones stacked with some nice digital amps, cabs and pedals.

Thank you to Khaleed Matmati, the sales engineer they assigned to me. It is the first time ever a music store / company had someone contact me to introduce them, find out if I needed anything else and answered any questions I had. All my purchases will go to sweetwater as the service experienced was unmatched anywhere.
