I'm only buying from schecter now

Sound

I am new to guitar but not to music recording,singer in bands over 14 years and this guitar sounds awesome for a beginner guitar.Only thing I'm going to upgrade is the bridge pick up to something more aggressive and strings.It's a beautiful piece and highly recommend this to any new or avid guitar player.I'm also super happy with Schecters complete line of instruments and plan on upgrading to have a spare.

Features

Wish it came with a strap or soft case but it's ok for 300 bucks I can't complain.

Ease of Use

It plays so smooth and has an amazing tone.If you're into anything from jazz to metal itll perform extremely well.

Quality

You won't find a better electric guitar for the price.

Value

Way worth it

Manufacturer Support

I gave it a 5 only because I've not had to deal with the company but their website is awesome

The Wow Factor

The neck is plain wish it had inlays but obviously its price won't allow that option. I purchased the satin wood and it's gorgeous!

"Schecter Omen-6"

Overall:

(see rating details)

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

The Omen-6 is a well rounded guitar for any guitarist, and a flawless starter for the newly-strung guitarist. My biggest qualm with it is the difference in price between this and the Omen Extreme-6, despite the lack of any significant product differences.

Sound

The Diamond Plus Humbuckers were very clearly made for the heavier side of life. They're not quite as high-output as actual metal pickups, still just tame enough to be able to handle anything, but you can tell they want the gain to be turned up a bit. They are fairly crisp and articulate, even with the gain turned up way past where I normally sit(about 3/10), but they get a lose fidelity with a quickness after about 6 or 7 on the dial. They are also ever so slightly microphonic and like to hum even with the gain turned down, though I suspect a little copper shielding will remedy this. So far as budget-priced guitars go, these are as good as they come.

Features

1 volume, 1 tone, a 3-way switch and a string-through body Tune-O-Matic bridge mated to a basswood body with a bolt-on maple neck. It's a classic recipe that has proven itself time and time again, so there's no reason to mess with it. If you wanted fancy features, knobs, killlswitches, active pickups, etc., you're in the wrong price range in the first place.

Ease of Use

It's a 6-string electric, if you know how to use one, you can use this. If you don't, then that's probably why you bought this one in the first place, isn't it? My only issue is that the intonation and string attack was a little off out of the box on my particular axe, which is unusual for Schecter, but corrected easily enough.

Quality

It's a Schecter. It's a well-crafted guitar, from the headstock to the strap pegs, and everything in between. That being said, it's also a budget-range Schecter, so it's not particularly unique or distinct from the others, aside from the Tuners, which, as I've always found to be the case with Schecter, are absolutely flawless.

Value

It's absolutely worth it. I have a Jackson JS32 King V that's completely identical to this thing, color, materials, everything except the Floyd Rose and the Brand names My Jackson is also a very, very fine guitar that was well worth the money, but this Schecter absolutely blows it out of the water in all categories.

Manufacturer Support

I had to reach out to Schecter once to resolve a warranty issue with a friend's bass. They responded to all of our emails swiftly and real people answered the phone the one time we called them. They weren't necessarily courteous, in the traditional customer service sense, but instead treated us as part of the SGR Family and took care of us as quickly as possible. We wound up having to send the bass back to them for repairs, and we had it back 9 days after shipping it off. Absolutely stellar.

The Wow Factor

Schecter never disappoints, whether it's a $300 guitar, or a $3,000 guitar, they always have an absolutely stellar axe ready for you. With other companies, they figure "The customer's going for a budget guitar, so give them a BUDGET guitar," i.e. some lame-ass piece of junk that's really nothing more than a couple of magnets inside of a piece of wood with some strings over it. But Schecter won't do that, because even if it is a budget guitar, it still has their Brand Name on it, and they have pride in that, so they'll always give it their all.

Schecter Omen 6 Guitar Customer Review

Overall:

(see rating details)

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

This guitar has some minor flaws, but come on, at this price point, it has to be expected. That said, the thing plays phenomenally. I've been playing for 15 years now and I gig regularly. I've owned them all: EBMM Petrucci, EBMM Luke, EBMM Silhouette, Ibanez JS, Ibanez PGM, Fender USA Strat, etc. This cheap little thing feels better to me than all of them. I bought this as a quick replacement after the Floyd Rose on my main guitar broke the night before a show. I played it out the day I bought it with the stock pickups. Some other guy brought some Les Paul Standard he dropped $2000 on and this thing SMOKED it. Tone is all in your hands anyway (and your amp, I think, haha...I run this through a Mesa Boogie Mark IV w/THD 2x12). This is by far the best guitar at this price point. It puts all the Ibanezes, etc. to shame. Add some new pickups for $150, practice hard, and you will thoroughly embarrass the guys who paid 5x as much for a brand name.

Sound

I have to give this an 8/10 due to the pickups. They aren't THAT bad, but the bridge is a little bit muddy, especially as you add gain. The neck pickup is actually pretty nice. Also, the bridge pickup ended up breaking about a week after I bought it...probably a loose wire somewhere. I switched them for a DiMarzio Norton and DiMarzio Bluesbucker and now the guitar is easily a 10/10. The string-thru body gives a ton of sustain and the body gives a nice, tight low end.

Features

This guitar has everything I was looking for. It's simple and that's all I wanted.

Ease of Use

I played it in Guitar Center and it was setup exactly how I wanted it to be.

Quality

This isn't exactly a high-quality guitar when it comes to overall fit and finish. The stock pickups are definitely F-spaced, which means the poles don't line up with the strings. Once I replaced them with non-F-spaced pickups, everything was in better alignment. The pickup routing is also at an angle, which makes it harder to get things in perfect alignment. The finish on the body is great though and the neck seems to be pretty straight.

Value

With another 10 minutes spent on fit and finish, they could double the price of this guitar.

The Wow Factor

It's a Schecter. No one knows what that is.

I knew the second I picked this guitar up, it was a good fit! I owned a Schecter several years ago, but I fell on hard times and had to sell it. I knew someday I would own another Schecter and that day has finally come! This one is an addition to my arsenal of guitars, and she's a keeper Right out of the box it was ready to play! Neck felt great and the fret board action was almost perfect!

"Perfect for drop tuning"

Overall:

(see rating details)

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

I got this beast of a Schecter because I needed a guitar dedicated to drop C. First of all, it came perfectly set up. Intonation was dead nails and unlike other guitar manufacturers it came with a decent set of strings. The diamond plus pickups are fantastic and I didn't expect the amount of tone they provide. The Celtic cross fret board inlays are beautiful as is the walnut stain. I'd recommend this guitar because it holds a value of far more than the cost.

Overall:

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

Absolutely amazing guitar. The black chrome hardware looks tacky to me, so I swapped it for gold and threw in a Bareknuckle Warpig set. It is now my absolute favorite guitar ever. The necks thin, but not paper thin, the radius is flat enough for leads but not so flat that rhythm becomes a chore, and the weight is phenomenal when performing

Bought the last one available for 1 day delivery. Been wanting to try a Schecter. Definitely worth the $400, without a doubt. Frets need a little sprout filing and there is a small factory blemish in the finish, but I will not worry about it.The pickups are made for metal, but don't sound bad cleaned up. The setup is pretty good out of the box, low action, intonated, neck straight and no buzz, just them sprouts. Hardware is gorgeous and tuners feel very smooth. The string thru tail setup is especially pretty.

This guitar has met almost all of my expectations, and I don't think I will be buying musical equipment from anyone other than zZounds from this point on. I cannot believe how professional zZounds is compared to the fake megalodon store (unnamed, ahem) I'm used to dealing with. Yes the pickups on this thing muddy up after 8 on volume switch, but if this is their entry level 6 string, Schector has many future transactions with me. A+ guys, thanks for restoring my faith in music companies again!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SCHECTER CAN PU SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT ON THE MARKET FOR SUCH A GREAT PRICE. I'VE BOUGHT OTHER SCHECTERS FOR A LOT MORE MONEY, BUT THIS ONE HAS A CERTAIN SOMETHING...AN OPTIONAL LOCKING HEAD MIGHT BE GOOD, BUT I'M SURE WILL ADD A LOT TO THE PRICE.

Sound

I JUST GOT THIS BABY AND HAVEN'T EVEN HOOKED IT UP TO MY EFFECTS, BUT THE SOUND IS STRONG AND CLEAN. GREAT GAIN ON VOLUME, THOSE THAT SAY THE PICKUPS ARE A LITTLE WEAK MUST HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE OR DAMAGED HEARING...OR BOTH.

EVERYTHING IS CLEAN AND SIMPLE...I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING I DIDN'T NEED...THIS IS A SOLID CHEVY OF A GUITAR.

JUST SUPERB...EVERYONE WHO SEES IT MARVELS AT THE BLUE SAPPHIPE COLOR AND FIT & FINISH...I WAS IMPRESSED THAT IT ARRIVED WITH NO COSMETIC DETAILS MARRED. ESPECIALLY GREAT IS THE TEXTURE OF THE NECK..VERY SLICK NON-STICKY FEEL..LIKE ITS GOT NATURAL TALCUM POWDER BUILT INTO THE WOOD.

I GOT THE NEW BLUE COLOR...IT'S AWESOME..NOBODY WHO SEES IT DOESN'T REMARK HOW COOL THE BLUE BODY COLOR, PALE NECK AND ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD COUPLED WITH THE CHROME HARDWARE ARE.

Overall:

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.

Sound

Very "rock guitar" sounding. The Diamond Humbuckers are powerful but are not very versatile. The sound has a lot of mids and highs but poor bottom end. The electronics are quiet and I believe suitable for live and studio work. I have only played it live. If you stay in the rock genre, you

Features

A very basic string through hard tail guitar. One volume, tone, and pickup switch. I have to say that the pickup switch does feel a bit on the cheap side but has not given me a problem in the past year and a half.

Quality

This feels like a solid guitar. The shaped top adds a certain flair and lends itself to a much more expensive guitar. Mine is Electric Blue and really demands attention. As far as reliability, I've had mine knocked off its stand twice and never even fell out of tune. I expect this thing to last a very long time. I have a backup only for string breaks (I'm kind of heavy picked).

Value

Probably one of the best values out there. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar whether you are just beginning or gigging every night.

The Wow Factor

Though this is a basic guitar, it is very attractive. The shaped body and the smooth glossy finish really grabs your attention.

This is my first guitar, so I'll probably keep it for about another year or two, I can just upgrade and change pickups and stuff when Im ready. I'll probably be getting a bigger amp before I get rid of this.

Im only playing on a 15W roland right now but in factory setup, It sounds great, good tone quality.

I will be plugging in this guitar for a long time.

Sound

Great sound...I am not a very experienced guitar player, but I am able to get the sounds I want.

Features

The stock strings obviously need to be replaced rather soon, but everything else is great. The pickups make this guitar sound amazing. I love having 24 frets to work with. A few people complained that there is only one tone knob, but I like that simplicity.

Ease of Use

Very easy. I got this guitar almost a year and a half ago, and at that time, I was having trouble switching between chords. Something about this guitar just makes you better than you really are.

Quality

For what it is, this is great. It is obviously not the greatest guitar, but for the price, it can't be beat.

"Good guitar once you replace the pickups"

Overall:

(see rating details)

I have purchased a BC Rich Platinum Pro Beast, and a Jackson Warrior, and they own this guitar, but its still a pretty good one

Sound

This was my second guitar, I've had it for about 4 years, its not the string thru body model. I think the pickups on it suck really bad, I replaced the bridge humbucker with a Seymour Duncan JB and it sounds 100 times better, I have a Jackson Warrior and a Bc Rich Platinum Pro Beast, bothof them cost at least 500 and this guitar contends with them very well, for being cheap

Features

Same as any guitar, of course you're gonna get a volume knob, a tone knob, and a pickup selector, but I've had to rewire mine about 4 or 5 times because the way it was built was very cheap

Quality

I've had to perform way too many repairs on this damn guitar, and have had to replace too many parts, the quality sucks, I had to replace the tuners, both knobs, the pickup switch, both pickups, the tailpiece, the nut, had to rewire everything 4 ot 5 times, and am constantly having to rewire the input jack

Value

Better guitar than alot of higher priced Jacksons, Ibanez', and EsP that I've played, of course this is only after u replace the pickups

Manufacturer Support

support is very good, when I ordered mine, I opened up the box and, what do I have, a guitar with the neck broken in half and two huge cracks on the body, I called Schecter, got a new one in 2 days, and also received 4 free sets of Dean Markley strings, a Schecter hat, t-shirt, and 2 free guitar cables, plus a 100 mail-in rebate, so I got the guitar for 199

The Wow Factor

this guitar is very sexy, I think its the paintjob, but something about Schecters is just so goddam beautiful, but it does not compete with most BC Rich, or Jacksons

"Guitar is a steal!!"

Overall:

(see rating details)

I don't play it as much anymore, but still drag it out once a month or so. I spend more time with my RG or Dean these days.

Sound

Sound is good for this level of guitar. Some more bottom end would be good, but the thing is great for solos. The guitar doesn't feedback like my RG does at high volume.

Features

Very basic features. Thats great live when you want simplicity, doesn't need a lot of fiddling anyway.

Ease of Use

With a little tweaking in your setup, you can really get good sounds out of it. It is retardedly easy to play. This is my soloing guitar. I love the size of the neck for fast movement. Chords are a kinda cramped for me though.

Quality

Not bad at all for the money. I got mine back in 2002 and played live with it for 4 yrs. In that time I managed to put some nice gouges in the paint and my strap broke once and it fell off the stage. It broke the neck, but hey, a 6 ft. fall will do that to any guitar.

Value

Can't beat it for the price. It has great looks, good playability, and it is easy to fix when you beat it to death.

Manufacturer Support

Don't have to use them, thats the best support you can get- reliablity.

Schecter Omen 6 Guitar Customer Review

Overall:

(see rating details)

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.

Sound

i have a solid state marshall and this guitar sounds pretty good on it, but it just doesn't have the best tone. its great for clean finger picking, and for metal, but chords on clean don't sound good.

Features

no features, has 2 humbuckers a tone knob and a volume knob.

Ease of Use

easy to use, no complications. easy to barre, easy to solo, easy to change strings; has a through body bridge.

Quality

...its made well but some things like the input jack are a little loose; schecter seems to have a problem with their input jacks, the nut always comes loose and has to be tightened, and it is impossible to permanantly tighten it, it always come loose again. also, my volume pot blew, and i had to get it replaced; which by the way was because of the input jack, i had to tighen it so much that the wires inside got twisted and pulled out.

Value

not a valuable item, but a good guitar to start on for the $$$

Manufacturer Support

when my volume pot broke, i called up schecter, got a representative, and he even called me back at home when i had more questions. not a corprate feel at all, very friendly and helpful.

The Wow Factor

it looks ok...
