Schecter Omen Elite-7, Black Cherry Burst, Left Handed Overview
The Schecter Omen Elite-7 has an alluring, deeply figured poplar burl top, with poplar being known for its meaty tone and resonant qualities. The body is made from mahogany, making the guitar feel substantial, while also giving a rich sound. Combined with the 7 strings, it makes an impressive guitar for shredders that want to stand out…
The thin maple “C” shaped neck, combined with the satin grey backing allows your hands to effortlessly glide up and down the neck, good for rapid playing. It has a rosewood fingerboard and 24 extra jumbo nickel/silver frets for increased sustain, allowing for easier string bending and vibrato techniques. With a 26.5” scale length, you can drop down the lower tunings without losing string tension.
The Schecter Omen Elite-7 has an impressive pickup pairing with Schecter’s versatile Diamond Heretic pickups. They have a balanced, punchy tone, and when you turn up the gain, they deliver a crushing, biting tone that’s great for metal guitarists.
Visually, the all-black hardware paired with the burl top makes an eye-catching, modern look, without being too over the top. The satin grey backing brings out the natural, woody colours of the mahogany and maple, and also gives it a subtle, unique touch.
Other features include clear knobs, pearloid inlays, and a 5-way pickup selector to provide a variety of voicings. In all, this is a striking, high performance model at an affordable price, great for metal and hard rock guitarists.
