Schecter Omen Elite 8 MS in Charcoal

A metal tone to die for

Complete with the Heretic Diamond pickups, the Omen Elite-8 boasts a high octane, high-output sound that will reward distorted aggression time and time again. Schecter’s own variation of the Apocalypse pickups, they're equipped with two ceramic 8 magnets and surrounded by a respective Alnico V magnet in each pickup. Full of bite and bark, they'll squeal at the high end while offering a full-bodied mid-range and tight, articulate lows. Ideally paired with various kinds of distorted and overdriven effects, the Heretic Diamonds are tonally well-balanced despite their energetic sound, and will deliver classic metal harmonics which can be reshaped time and time again to fit your taste.

Industry standard craftmanship

This Schecter Omen Elite-8 also features a rigid and durable Hipshot multiscale 7-string bridge, which provides a glorious amount of resonance and sustain and enables you to adjust the scale length to your exact specifications so you can find the sound you want and stay in tune for longer. Manufactured from a single piece of brass, this high-quality design bridge will easily eliminate any annoying side to side movement of the stainless-steel saddles. The alternative one-piece build provides a more comfortable feel against the hand than the traditional single-string multi-scale bridges due to the smoother top – contributing to the comfort of the overall playing experience.

With a thin “C” bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, you’ll be guaranteed smooth and comfortable playability. Reinforced with carbon fibre rods, you can be sure that this neck will stay held firm for a long time, and the 24 extra jumbo frets will mean that you can find the right note at the right time, every time. Crafted with the finest tonewoods, the mahogany back and sides and poplar burl top will provide richness and warmth to the tone in spades – ensuring a glorious sound.

A classic metal aesthetic

With the classic double cutaway metal shape that’s finished with a beautiful charcoal, the aesthetic of this guitar is ominous and retro – sure to fit in on any stage. The black pickups match the darker edges of the guitar’s colour scheme and the rosewood fingerboard adds a natural feel that is tied together with the matching blue burst headstock, completing the elegant yet menacing appearance.
