Time to Meet the Reaper

Whether you play rock, metal, or fusion, the Schecter Reaper-7 Multiscale 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. High-output Diamond Decimator humbuckers make the Reaper-7 Multiscale the sonic equivalent of a flame thrower but still give you enough versatility to cover all of your tonal bases. As for comfort, after experiencing this guitar's sleek body contours, Ultra-access Neck Carve, and multi-scale ebony fingerboard, you'll have a hard time putting it down. The Reaper-7 Multiscale includes a Hipshot hardtail bridge and tuners 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-7 Multiscale 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-7 Multiscale a unique, eye-catching appearance. At Sweetwater, we appreciate an axe that produces great-sounding tone — even before you plug it in!

Face-melting humbuckers

As great as the Reaper-7 Multiscale sounds acoustically, it was built to be plugged in — and you won't be disappointed! Its high-output Diamond Decimator pickups slice through the mix like hot adamantium but give you enough versatility to conquer any sonic situation you might encounter. It includes plenty of tonal control, by way of a master volume, master tone, and 3-way pickup selector. You also get a push-pull pot for coil-split single-coil tones.

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/wenge 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. Hipshot hardtail bridges supply rock-solid tuning. Complete with attractive black and chrome appointments, these guitars are top-drawer all the way.

Reviews

Multi Scale Madness!
This is my first 7 string and my first multi scale. I've been playing guitar since 1989. This Schecter Reaper 7 is the best guitar I've ever owned. It feels like it was custom made just for me, the neck is that amazing!

It took me no time to adjust to this beast. I don't think I could ever go back to playing 6 strings. That low B is everything. I have it tuned to drop G# and it's like summoning Satan himself. It also sounds fantastic clean. Not to mention The coil tap makes this guitar very versatile.

The finish is amazing. The pickups are great. The multi scale just feels right. The Hipshot bridge is super comfortable. The tuners are actually decent! Man I wish I would have done this sooner. Good job Schecter!
Music background: Semi Professional
Behold, a pale horse
…and his name that sat upon him was Death!

My Reaper-7 arrived in perfect plug and play condition. I've been playing Schecters for going on 15 years now and this one has been by far the best feeling, best playing guitar I've owned! The playability for me is astounding.
Love it
Its the first 7 string I bought and I use it to play at a gig and it is never out of tune, a very raw and heavy sound I love, it's good for alot of hard rock and metal, I am In love.
Awesome guitar
This thing is a fantastic guitar.

Pro's:
Gorgeous tops
Neck is super nice feeling with the satin finish, and the carving for the higher fret access.
The fretboard edges nicely worked.
Light body
Pickups sound great, with the split coils easily letting you approach Strat-glassyness (with some compression)

Con's:
Intonation of 7th string was a bit of a pain but got it figured out with proper action, a 59 gauge string, and some spring removal in the bridge.
Multiscale makes first fret cowboy chords an adjustment/reach for my baby hand, but everything else is great
Tough call!
This is my first 7 string and first multiscale guitar of any kind. First impressions were quite positive. The low B and E strings were tight and articulate and the pickups really bring the scooped machine gun style I was looking for. Not a giant fan of the tones coming from the higher strings, but that's a personal thing so take that for what it is. Also initially I found the playability and feel, specifically during soloing/sweeping on the higher strings, just did not stack up to the level I'm used to. Then things took a turn for the worse that nearly had me packing it back up and returning it the same day I got it.
Full disclaimer here: I opted to not use Sweetwaters setup service (solely just to get it to me quicker), so this is in no way a hit on them! These guys really do go far above and beyond any other store I've ever used and if there is any option at all to buy from them I always do. Anyway, it arrived in pretty good tuning but the intonation was tragic. Not unexpected and no problem for me at all. I've been doing my own setups for years. Well...I ended up having to remove the spring from the B string saddle because I needed more travel to get it dialed in, but even after slamming it all the way to the end of the bridge I found that it was still just a bit sharp. Not horribbly bad, but certainly enough to make me question whether or not this was a keeper. After it was all done I found that 4 of the 7 strings intonate just fine at 12 but not at 24. Again, not bad, but enough to raise an eyebrow. None of my other guitars act like that.
So that was pretty much my first day with this guitar.
On day 2 I just sat around jamming on it and messing with my effects to see what I could get out of it. By the end of the day I'm feelin like maybe I kinda like this thing.
Day 3 I record a few tracks, and was really pleased with how well the Reaper sits in the mixes. It's filling space, it's super agressive when I want it to be but is easily dialed back, and the clarity and punch is actually quite nice for what I do.
So then...the point of all this. Well as the title says, this has been a tough call for me. The intonation issue I thought was gonna be a deal breaker immediately. Couple days of messing with it and now it seems like it's gonna be OK. I'm still not "in love" with the playability and feel of the higher strings, but from the D string down it's pretty much money for my style of heavier proggy/metallish sort of things. Barring anything popping up in the next couple weeks I think this guitar has found a home with me. However...if this were going to be my main rig for live work or club gigs...I don't believe it would make the cut for me. Bear in mind though that I am comparing this against my other guitars (Am Std strat, '96 PRS, jap ESP) so that is admittedly a high bar. For what I want/need this guitar for I believe I'm gonna be happy with it.
And one last thing. If you are on the fence about whether or not you should try a multiscale, you definitely should! I'm already sold on the whole thing after just a few days. It honestly never even felt awkward and the benefits, to me, are tangible.
