This is how it is at the rear, one of the reasons why the OMEN 6 goes for a very affordable asking price is that it's a bolt-on make. The heel there is angled to promote upper fret reaches but the bulk is just a put-off if you wish to rest your thumb there. Not saying this guitar has poor upper fret access but it's a fair offering, definitely.
The body's top surface features sumptuous beveling to such an extent it manifests a curved-top feel.
I don't fancy the default humbuckers so they were replaced by the above Tesla pickups:
- Neck: Opus 2
- Bridge: VR-Nitro
These darlings brought much life to tone. Due to the lacquer-free body, the Omen 6 gives off a bright default acoustic tones. This, in my opinion, would provide the perfect snap for a single coil pickup so the Opus 2 option was rather clear. I require a crisp sounding Tesla in the bridge which has a tamed midrange emphasis- just a little bit, not a grand truncation- so I chose the covered version of the VR-Nitro. This is a happy combo for me. I bought this guitar more than a week ago, still fiddling with the pickups height.

Hey sub, i have the Schecter Omen-6 Extreme, which has a laquer paintjob over it, do you think these pickups will still fit it? saying that i do want to change the stock schecter pickups.

i am requesting for the Omen 8 to be brought in, will update here once i get news :-) planning to get both the 7 & 8 versions...
the lacquered/ gloss version of the Omen 6 Extreme... it's not about the finish actually, but the locking whammy bridge in there require some bass reinforcements- that's what i hear from it :-)
@Anonymous#5
i'm still fiddling with it and trying to solve a noise problem, and examination period is underway... will probably do a review at quite a later time when i get the chance
7 and 8,WOah. Dont forget to share with us your encounter with those unusual sexy beast,BRo
@sub how much all-in-all for this? nice finish, kinda worn matte..
@GZNG they say the tonelabST is very clean noise free(a little with high gain),. im gettin myself one this week used one(supposed to be the one you got from fellow softie),. may needs a little tweaking on the noisetreshold..
Oh, and Sub. Are these still MIC and what is said on the bolt-on plate?
the Omen 6 is a simple guitar that works. a great working guitar, no doubt.
the plate there says 'Diamond Series' & its USA address :-)
