      Schecter Guitar Research 2011 Omen-8 8-String Electric Guitar-OLD (H68255)
Availability:  


A fuller sound with rich harmonics.

The Schecter Omen-8 8-String Electric Guitar offers an unbelievable range of notes for the guitarist. Tuned to the pitches of F#/B/E/A/D/G/B/E the Omen will allow you to add a whole new dimension to your playing. The basswood body with 6-bolt neck joint provides a solid platform while the rosewood fretboard with 24 extra jumbo frets and the CTM-8 bridge promote sure-fingered playing comfort and super resonance. Schecter Diamond Plus pickups with overwound coils and a ceramic magnet produce an aggressive high output to push your amp over the edge. Made for crunchy rhythms and blistering leads. Perfect for drop tunings.

Tuners
These high quality tuners feature a classic design in a lubricated and sealed housing to protect gears for a lifetime of maintenance free playability. Details include a 15:1 gear ratio for smooth and precise tuning, removable knobs, threaded hex peghead bushing, and a 10mm diameter peg hole.

Rosewood Fingerboard
Rosewood is naturally oily, and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The sound is richer in fundamental than Maple because the stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pores.

Diamond Plus Pickups
Diamond Plus Over wound coils with a Ceramic Magnet give this aggressive high output pickup the push that will send your Amp over the edge. Made for crunchy rhythms and blistering leads. Perfect for drop tunings. This pickup will cut through the mix with ease. Rockin' Single coil tone when Push-Pull knob is pulled up.

    Maple neck with 6-bolt joint

    As reviewed by Andrew Hapka on 2/19/2011

    I had ordered this guitar online and had it shipped to the store in Brookfield. There the employees were really great in getting this guitar up to snuff and ready to play (5 star customer service too by the way). I thought before I tried it out in the store (they wanted to make sure that the guitar was to my liking, again 5 star customer service) that this wasn't going to have that much power and more or less just be a guitar to get you started and getting used to playing an 8 string because of the price, but i was very very wrong. I plugged the guitar into one of the Line 6 amps that they had and I was blown away by the sound. It had almost the same power that I have in my Hellraiser which has active EMG pickups. The fret board is nice and thin so that it kinda has a feel of a 6 string. So basically this guitar can compete with active EMG pickups, has the basic neck of a 6 string, frets and fret board are as they should, and it stays very nicely in tune, 5 stars for a relatively cheap 8 string guitar

  • Two instuments in One!!!

    As reviewed by Michigan on 7/25/2011

    I like this guitar. It sounds great, and you can play lead, and bass lines on the same instrument. I bought the Walnut Satin Model, and it looks great also. You really can't beat this deal.

  • Exceeds expectation

    As reviewed by CORY BREEDLOVE on 4/19/2012

    I picked this up on sale with trade-in credit and the look and feel of this guitar easily surpasses its price-point. Pickups are definitely adequate for highly distorted sounds and they look real sleek. Went with the Walnut Satin finish and was slightly disappointed that it arrived in more of a deep burgundy, but it still looks great with the blacked out hardware especially compared the typical shiny black finish with chrome hardware option. The extra inch on the neck offers more tuning flexibility without being a full on baritone (nothing wrong with the 28 inch + scale, but that would be add difficulty to the learning curve for me and require a travel case that will accommodate something much larger than a reg scale 6 string. Overall, this was a good buy and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an 8-string for under $500.
