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.
