Essential Information About the Schecter Reaper 7 Guitar
- 7-string multiscale 25.5" / 648 mm to 27" / 685.8 mm: optimized tension, clearer lows, and more stable chords in low tunings.
- Schecter Diamond Decimator pickups (humbuckers): sharp attack, high gain reserve, while remaining versatile depending on tone settings.
- Modern comfort: Ultra Thin "C" neck, 24 frets, and Ultra-Access contoured cutaway for easy access to the upper frets.
- Premium craftsmanship: body made of swamp ash, Burl top, ebony fingerboard, and 5-ply maple/walnut neck with carbon reinforcement.
Reaper Series: a sharp 7-string designed for performance
The Schecter Reaper series follows the line of modern performance-oriented guitars: sleek lines, fast playability, and wood choices that favor precision. This Reaper 7 version takes the concept further with a multiscale design and ergonomics tailored for demanding sessions, both in the studio and on stage.
Who is it for, and what styles?
The Schecter Reaper 7 targets intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a comfortable, stable 7-string ready for low tunings. It excels in modern metal, djent, metalcore, and prog, but remains credible in energetic rock when playing with dynamics and the tone potentiometer.
Sound
The swamp ash provides a snappy and articulate response, with clean lows and present highs, ideal for precise riffs. The Burl top mainly adds an aesthetic signature, while the ebony fingerboard enhances attack and note definition, highly appreciated on a 7-string. The Schecter Diamond Decimator humbuckers deliver a cutting tone that sits well in a mix, and the simple electronics (3-position selector, volume, push/pull tone) allow quick shifts from massive rhythm tones to more open textures depending on the push/pull wiring.
Recommended compatible accessories
Factory-installed strings are Ernie Ball 7-String (.009/.011/.016/.026/.036/.046/.062): an excellent base to maintain multiscale balance. A gig bag is available as an option: SGR-1C (sold separately).
