Schecter Omen-6 Electric Guitar (Gloss Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This instrument really sounds and looks amazing. When I saw the price, I was very surprized, expecting a $450 tag - it was actually $300. After playing the guitar on an amp with all possible effects on it, I was able to prove to myself that it can produce the sounds for any type of music - from hard rock to fusion to vintage rock'n'roll. It is not only a heavy metal guitar, although it can handle the genre with total ease. The guitar's powerful output make it a perfect axe for fusion.
The guitar is contoured like the Fender Stratocaster, but this is where the similarities end:
a) the high-quality Schecter twin humbuckers produce that thick Gibson sound
b) the high-gloss black body has a carved arch top, and the neck is angled back, just as on a Les Paul.
c) the strings go through the body for increased sustain and cool look
e) the neck is bolted 24-fret, giving more elbow room for playing higher up
d) the headstock is smaller, more convenient for tighter areas, and compensating for the longer neck, so that a regular gigbag will fit just fine
f) simple electronics - only one tone control and one volume control are provided, with a 3-way PU switch
g) the body is thicker than a Strat, add to that the arched top - pretty thick, yet not quite as heavy as a Les Paul.
i) the construction and hardware are super-solid, with no plastic pickguard, or large cavities of a Strat.
It is built in Indonesia and set up in the US, meaning that the quality control is up to the US standards.
Overall impression: the Stratocaster's unmatched egronomics + Les Paul's tone + super-sleek modern look make this guitar a real joy to play and look at. It compares positively with similar price range models from Ibanez, Cort or Washburn, in my opinion, which I have personally tried.

Here's a dark omen from Schecter--a gloss black Omen 6 to be precise. Aspiring and experienced shredders will find plenty to like in this model, from the ultra-playable maple neck to the high-output Schecter pickups. Add the TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design, 24 jumbo frets, and more than you might expect in such an affordable axe, and you'll find this may be a good omen.

Ready to Rock The Omen 6 is an affordable axe for beginners and veterans alike, pairing affordability with solid Schecter construction. It features a basswood body for a pronounced tone, suitable for rhythm or lead playing.
The speedy 25.5-inch scale maple neck is topped off with a rosewood fretboard and 24 jumbo frets, with dot inlays.
Schecter Diamond Plus Pickups These high-output Schecter humbuckers are ready to deliver, whether you're cranking out squealing pinch harmonics or something a little more nuanced.
The three-way switch lets you dial in neck or bridge tones, or in between.
Graph Tech "Tusq" Nut The precision Tusq nut is made with Graph Tech's "man made ivory," which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of your guitar. Play as hard as you want, bend a few steps, and your strings glide back into tune. The highly resonant material also means you'll get more richness and harmonics from every note.
Dependable Hardware The TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design means even more sustain and harmonics, and Schecter tuners for plenty of tuning stability.
