What Makes the Schecter Reaper-6 Custom Special?

The Reaper-6 Custom takes Schecter’s modern performance formula and gives it a particularly refined specification. Its Khaya African Mahogany body and Wenge set neck create a substantial foundation, while Schecter’s Ultra Access neck joint allows comfortable reach across all 24 frets. The Wenge neck is reinforced with carbon-fibre rods and shaped to Schecter’s extremely fast Ultra Thin “C” profile, measuring approximately 19mm at the first fret and 20mm at the twelfth.

Its Schecter USA San Andreas humbuckers provide the power needed for modern high-gain sounds while retaining clarity for complex chords and fast picking. A push/pull tone control adds coil splitting for brighter alternative sounds, while the Hipshot hardtail bridge, string-through-body design, locking tuners and Graph Tech nut create a stable and straightforward setup for rehearsal, recording and live performance.

Who Is It For?

The Schecter Reaper-6 Custom is particularly well suited to intermediate, advanced and professional players looking for a modern guitar that prioritises fast playability, tuning stability and clearly defined amplified tones.

Its specification makes it an excellent choice for modern metal, progressive metal, hard rock, technical rock and instrumental guitar, but the passive San Andreas pickups and coil-split function provide enough flexibility for cleaner sounds and less aggressive styles.

Why Choose A High-Performance Hardtail Guitar?

A fixed bridge is an excellent choice for players who value straightforward setup, stable tuning and easy string changes. Unlike a floating tremolo system, changing tunings or adjusting string gauges is generally much simpler, making hardtail instruments particularly practical for recording and musicians who regularly experiment with alternative tunings.

The Reaper-6 Custom goes a step further with a Hipshot hardtail bridge and string-through-body construction, paired with Schecter locking tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut. Together, these components create a precise and dependable platform without adding unnecessary complexity.

How Does It Compare?

Compared With A Standard Reaper-6

The Reaper-6 Custom moves towards a more premium, stripped-back performance specification, with its Wenge set neck, ebony compound-radius fingerboard, stainless-steel frets, Schecter USA San Andreas pickups and Hipshot hardware. It is aimed at players who want professional-level appointments in a straightforward six-string format.

Compared With A Floyd Rose-Equipped Guitar

A Floyd Rose offers extensive pitch effects but introduces additional setup and restringing requirements. The Hipshot hardtail of the Reaper-6 Custom is considerably simpler, making this model particularly attractive to players focused on stable rhythm performance, alternative tunings and easy day-to-day maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Schecter Reaper-6 Custom suitable for metal?

Yes. The USA San Andreas humbuckers, fast Ultra Thin “C” neck, 24-fret layout and fixed Hipshot bridge make it particularly well suited to modern metal, progressive music and other high-gain styles.

What pickups are fitted?

The Reaper-6 Custom uses a pair of Schecter USA San Andreas humbuckers, with dedicated bridge and neck pickups.

Are the pickups active?

No. The San Andreas humbuckers are passive, so the guitar does not require a battery for normal operation.

Can the pickups be coil split?

Yes. The tone control includes a push/pull coil-split function, providing brighter and leaner sounds alongside the standard full humbucker tones.

Does it have stainless-steel frets?

Yes. The guitar features 24 X-Jumbo stainless-steel frets, providing a smooth feel for bends and vibrato while offering excellent resistance to long-term fret wear.

What is the neck like?

The Wenge neck uses Schecter’s Ultra Thin “C” profile, measuring approximately 19mm at the first fret and 20mm at the twelfth. It is designed specifically for fast and technically demanding playing.

What is a compound-radius fingerboard?

The ebony fingerboard gradually changes from a 12" radius near the nut to a flatter 16" radius towards the upper frets. This provides a comfortable feel lower down the neck while creating a flatter surface for bends and fast lead playing higher up.

What are Luminlay side markers?

The guitar features glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots, making fret positions easier to locate in dark stage environments.

Does the Reaper-6 Custom have locking tuners?

Yes. Schecter locking tuners are fitted as standard, providing secure string attachment and helping make string changes quicker and easier.

Does it have a tremolo?

No. The Reaper-6 Custom uses a Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body construction. It is designed for players who favour simplicity and stability over tremolo effects.

Is the neck bolt-on?

No. The Reaper-6 Custom uses a set-neck construction with Schecter Ultra Access, creating a smooth transition between the neck and body for easier access to the highest frets.

What scale length does it use?

It has a 25.5" scale length, providing familiar tension and a responsive feel that works particularly well for modern rhythm and lead playing.

Is a hardcase included?

No. The compatible Schecter SGR-1C C-Shape Hardcase, model 1620, is available separately.
