Schecter Omen Elite-8 8 String Multiscale Electric Guitar in Black Cherry Burst - 2465SHC

OVERVIEW

The Schecter Omen Elite-8 in an ultra modern, multi-scale 8 string guitar designed with heavy rock and metal players in mind. Representing exceptional value-for-money, this Mahogany-bodied tone machine really dishes the dirt with its high-output Diamond Heretic pickups and cutting-edge looks.

The 25.5"-27" multi-scale neck yields less tension on the higher strings, making string bends far easier on the fingers. It also means a higher tension on the lower strings which allows for a clearer, tighter sound, making it ideal for heavy palm muted metal riffs.

The Maple neck is reinforced with Carbon Fibre rods making it incredibly stable and resistant to climatic changes. A Hipshot Multi Scale bridge ensures optimal intonation and tuning as well as maximizing the transference of string vibrations.

At the other end, a set of Schecter tuners with Grip Tip speed knobs maintains accurate tuning stability even with heavier string gauges.

FEATURES

• Schecter Diamond Heretic Pickups - Optimised for searing high-gain, delivering gnarly, articulate tones regardless of how low the guitar is tuned!
• Multi-Scale Neck - Improves the overall sound and playability of the guitar by making the top strings slinkier and the bottom strings tighter.
• Mahogany/Poplar Burl Body - Delivers a balanced sound with a healthy mid range presence as well as giving the Omen a devilishly good looking appearance!
• Thin C Neck Profile - An ergonomic and comfortable profile up and down the neck.
• Jumbo Frets - Allow for big string bends without fretting out.
