Fully Optimized for 8-string Performance. Sweetwater is an Authorized Schecter Dealer. Schecter Omen Elite-8 Multiscale 8-string Electric Guitar - See Through Blue. 8-string Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Burl Top, Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - See Through Blue 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. Sure, you can tune your favorite 6-string (or standard-scale 8-string, for that matter) down near the tonal depths of an 8-string.

However, any player who values precision in their setup will quickly discover that this can lead to weak, floppy strings - there's a reason why basses have such a long scale length! A multi-scale neck is an ideal remedy for this situation, lengthening the string's travel to increase tension and improve intonation. Moreover, this guitar's 25.5-27.5-inch design retains a typical scale length on the high strings, keeping their playability and feel identical to a standard guitar. A neck built for speed.

While we love the old-school chunk of a baseball bat neck as much as the next guitarist, if you're after speed, nothing beats the lightning-fast playability of Schecter's thin "C" maple neck profile! Plus, while its diminished size certainly reduces drag and improves speed, this is by no means a "toothpick" neck - Schecter was careful to leave just enough mass to provide a slick feel while still filling out the palm of your hand.

The rosewood fingerboard's 24 jumbo frets and very flat 20-inch recipe take the formula even further, allowing for effortless bends and incredibly low action with no string choke out. Tone that cuts like a diamond. When you're wielding a 8-string, it's crucial to have a set of pickups that take full advantage of your instrument's extended range.

Fortunately for fans of high-gain chug everywhere, Schecter has optimized their Diamond Heretic humbuckers to provide unmatched clarity and articulation across the fingerboard, from the lowest drop-tuned 8th string to the piercing high E on the 24th fret! They djent, they sing with sustain, and they produce a wonderfully rich and full-range clean tone when it comes time to dial down the gain - Sweetwater's 8-string fanatics can't help but be impressed by the sheer sonic might and tonal flexibility of Schecter's Diamond Heretic humbuckers!
