Schecter Omen Elite-8 Multiscale 8-string Electric Guitar - Black Cherry Burst

From the neck to the pickups to the scale length, the Schecter Omen Elite-8 Multiscale electric guitar is an axe designed to fully harness its 8-string potential! The core of this instrument is its 25.5–27.5-inch scale length, allowing for even the lowest drop-tuned chug with ideal string tension and intonation across the entire fingerboard. On the skinny side, the Omen Elite-8’s fast thin “C” profile is all but guaranteed to up your speed, while the rosewood fingerboard’s 24 jumbo frets and flat 20-inch radius are perfect for modern metal technicality. Finally, the gorgeous burl-topped mahogany body is loaded with two of Schecter’s Diamond Heretic humbuckers, a pair of pickups fully optimized for brutal 8-string riffage, cutting lead tones, and sparkling cleans with endless articulation.
