If you have been searching for a show-ready machine that plays right, sounds great, and does not break the bank, the Schecter 2027 Guitar Research Omen Extreme-6 FR Electric Guitar See-Thru Black checks all the right boxes. Its Thin C maple neck with a 14-inch radius fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets lay the foundation for fast runs and finger tapping. It is joined with a mahogany body and maple veneer whose deep gloss finish and multi-ply crème binding give this axe tons of presence under stage lights. Sonically, the Omen Extreme FRs capable Diamond Plus humbuckers with push-pull coil splits give you six pickup sounds for claiming your space in a mix. This FR model of the Omen Extreme features a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo system that'll have you (and your guitar) squealing with delight. On the hardware side of things, you also get matching knobs and tuners to help you look and sound your best in any performance setting. Beginner to intermediate, if you're looking for a springboard into technical and aggressive styles of playing, Sweetwater guitar players recommend the Omen Extreme FR.
