Description

This innovative 8-string guitar provides an extended range and massive tone for guitarists pushing the boundaries of modern rock and metal. The Omen Elite-8 MS features a mahogany body with a maple neck for a bright, articulate sound. Its thin-C profile neck has a 20" radius and 24 jumbo frets, allowing fast, fluid playing across all eight strings.

Powerful EMG Active Pickups

The Omen Elite-8 MS is equipped with Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups. These humbuckers deliver a tight, high-output tone perfect for heavy rhythms and searing leads.

Extended 25.5-27.5" Scale Length

The Omen Elite-8 MS features a 25.5"-27.5" multi-scale fretboard, with the higher strings scaled slightly shorter for easier playability. The longer scale on the lower strings provides increased string tension and clarity. This innovative design gives the extended range of an 8-string guitar without compromising tone or feel.

Premium Components and Construction

From the mahogany body and maple neck to the rosewood fingerboard, the Omen Elite-8 MS is built with premium tonewoods. It also features a Hipshot 8-string Multiscale fixed bridge for tuning stability, even under heavy use. With high-end components, sturdy construction, and striking see thru finish, the Omen Elite-8 MS is a professional-grade 8-string guitar ready to take your playing to the next level.
