SchecterOmen Extreme-6 Electric Guitar - Black Cherry

The guitar arrived with a static pickup switch. I contacted Customer Service at Schecter and they recommended a cleaner and if that didn't solve the problem, they would send a new switch. The cleaner fixed the problem. The craftsmanship is good, some frets are a bit unfinished but this is expected for this price, at least so they say.I got a two humbucker guitar to replace a BC Rich. Even though this guitar is not the metal vibe, the humbuckers sure purr like a pussy cat. It feels good to play it with the gain and volume all the way up. The guitar sounds good for blues, rock, heavy metal, jazz, it has nice tones, but it definitively likes to play blues. I like to play heavy stuff, but I somewhat always end up playing blues licks. With that said, I plan on getting a strictly metal guitar because this one doesn't even want to be tuned down to E flat or D.Other than the resolved issue with the switch and the frets, this guitar is ready to play out of the box.

How can they make these things this good for the price? I got the burst finish without the floyd rose FWIW. The instrument is absolutely stunning, not a single flaw on it. The neck is straight and the frets are dressed off on the ends, very nice feeling to play. I like the tuners, they remind me of the Grovers I have on some of my other guitars. This thing came pre set-up and other than the action being slightly lower than I like it is just about perfect. The pickups are nice, have a nice humbucker breakup that cleans up when the volume is rolled off. Overall I have to say I am very pleased with this purchase.

I love playing this guitar.+ low action+ fatty frets+ tuners feel great+ coil split is neat, but sounds a little flat when compared with my strat. I find myself almost exclusively using the humbuckers, which have a bass heavy tone and handle distortion extremely well- volume knob order is opposite of the pickup selector order- output jack was loose- neck required a lot truss rod adjustment before finding a sweet spot where the low E string wasn't buzzing on frets 1-2 or 6-9. I'll need to get it set up by a luthier someday, but this took a bit of trial and error to resolve.

Having never seen a Schecter guitar before, I was more than surprised with the quality of this one. The neck is second to none that I've played, and that includes an original 1963 Fender Stratocaster I bought that same year.I have medium sized hands and sometimes a guitar neck can be hard to play if it is too small and not well built. This is not the case the the Schecter.Aside from easy on the old fingers, easy to play, this is a great looking guitar as well. It has the smooth lines, rises and falls on the body that make it easy on the eyes.Of course I'd rather have a higher priced instrument. But for the playing I now do I don't need anything but this.Consider this as well - I'm not a young man (surprise!). After years of not playing I bought a Fender Dreadnought, a nice guitar, but one that almost ruined me. Having to lay my arm over the body of the guitar caused my shoulder to pitch forward just a little. That position began to cause my right shoulder to come out of joint. Fortunately, a little physical rehab and it is OK now.I can no longer play big guitars.With this solid body that problem is solved.The only thing that took me a while to get used to is the pick-ups being so close together. That too is just a matter of repositioning my right hand.I can think of nothing I dislike about this guitar. And the price for an instrument such as this is incredibly low.

just got this guitar and i am in love with it. love amazons shipping its reall fast got it 3 days before it was due. love the color it looks way better than how the picture shows it. i got mine with daddario strings but put ernie ball powerslinkys on it. you can really make some sweet metal sounds with this guitar trust me if your on a budget and need a good guitar here you go. the only downside i have about the guitar is when im trying to gallop. the bridge on my other guitar was different and had a fixed tremelo on it kind of like a strat. so its gonna take some time getting used to that but other than that its a great guitar. if your an a7x fan you'll love the guitar. i mite change out the pickups for seymour duncan blackouts when i figure out how to do it. but yes i would recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to play good.

Absolutely in love with my first Schecter. Been wanting one for years and almost got the C-6 model but held off until I could get the Omen Extreme-6 and I’m so glad I do. The jumbo frets and fast action are awesome, and just a really solid electric guitar all around. Way more versatile than some reviews made me believe. I have tried out all kinds of music on it already and they all sound great. Tremendous value with the Omen Extreme-6, could easily sell for nearly double. Came ready to play out of the box with Ernie Ball strings - my Black Cherry quilted top is gorgeous.

Like another reviewer said the guitar is nice but the low E buzzes so much. I returned it and got the introductory model C-1 SGR and the SGR sounds better. It doesn't look as nice but for a beginner it's got the sound you need. I saved $250 and got better sound. There's no reason to get any electric guitar between $200-800. You start learning on this and when you get really good you drop $1,000 or more for the best sound quality and aesthetic you want. The middle ground just makes no sense.

Beautiful guitar with lots of features. Other than tuning, comes ready to play right out of the box. Good solid weight and size with double cutaways makes it comfortable to play. You can get just about any voice out of this beauty without the need to switch out guitars during sets. Definitely worth the money! (Featherweight case was a separate purchase.)
