You Don’t Need to Fear This Reaper
Prepare to take a trip to the underworld with Schecter’s Reaper-7 Elite. An outstanding collection of mahogany, maple, and wenge tonewoods facilitate a mellow acoustic tone, which easily converts to a balanced yet decisive metal output with the help of dual San Andreas humbuckers. When paired with a comfortable, fast-playing “C”-shape neck, this axe provides more than enough notational navigation for shred fanatics, tone chasers, and metalheads alike. Slap on the Reaper-7 Elite’s Hipshot 7-string multi-scale bridge and Grip-Lock tuners, and you’ll be able to explore the tonal plane for hours without losing a hint of perfect intonation. Whether you plan to perform punk, metal, or classic rock, the Reaper-7 Elite won’t go quietly.
Unadulterated tonewood performance
Khaya African mahogany, wenge, and ebony — it’s not a tonewood marriage that you see every day. However, rest assured, the Reaper-7 Elite takes full advantage of this combo’s sonic abilities. While the mahogany body provides a relatively tight and mellow audial foundation, its wenge neck comes back to bite with a bright midrange tone, balancing out the Reaper-7 Elite’s sound to a T. Although some players might prefer to cut through the Reaper’s powerful passive electronics system, Sweetwater guitarists have reported that playing this axe alone provides more than enough reason never to let go.
It’s all in the neck
The Reaper-7 Elite’s wenge neck oozes fast-action maneuverability. Providing a sleek satin finish on its ultra-thin “C”-shape neck profile, this axe’s effortless navigation stands out among a score of other contemporary instruments. Its neck-through joint, in tandem with a double-cut body shape, also means you can get up close and personal with higher frets, making skull-splitting leads and upper-note bends as easy as pie. And thanks to a multi-scale fretboard, navigating to each and every fret is easily done without having to contort to extreme heights. Better yet, you’ll benefit from the neck’s added structural integrity, which provides extra intonation support and the confidence that your guitar will remain in stable condition after years of extensive use.
USA SA Humbuckers pump out raw metal tone
A set of onboard San Andreas humbuckers transform the Reaper-7 Elite into a versatile metal powerhouse. Heavy and articulate, this hot duo provides strong mids and highs while exhibiting dense low-end drive. This pickup lot's high-gain and attack are perfect for traditional metal rhythms and leads, and their exquisite tonal balance makes all that power emerge in stunning clarity. Looking to take control for yourself? No problem: slice through any sound these beauties have to offer by way of a 3-way pickup selector switch and dual push-pull volume and tone knobs.
