Schecter 7-String Electric Guitar SCH3249

Gothic style meets crushing modern metal tone

The Schecter SCH3249 7-string electric guitar is built for heavy players who want both powerful tone and striking stage presence. Finished in a deep blood-red aesthetic with distressed hardware and gothic cross inlays, this guitar looks as dark as it sounds. Designed specifically for modern heavy styles, it delivers tight low-end response, aggressive midrange punch, and smooth sustain for riffs, breakdowns, and soaring leads.

When you buy your Schecter from us, it’s inspected and packed by musicians who understand performance instruments. We also stock essential extras like 7-string guitar strings, guitar straps, tuners, and instrument cables so you can build your full rig in one place.

Key Features

Active Diamond Pickups

Schecter Diamond active humbuckers produce a high-output, noise-free signal with thick lows and aggressive mids for modern metal tones.

Extended 26.5" Scale

The longer scale length keeps low strings tight and defined, perfect for drop tunings and extended-range riffing.

Gothic Cross Inlays

Grey pearloid cross inlays create a bold visual statement that matches the guitar’s dark tonal personality.

Wenge Fretboard

Wenge provides a fast feel and punchy attack, helping riffs cut through dense mixes.

Hardtail String-Thru Bridge

A Tune-O-Matic with string-through-body construction enhances sustain and keeps tuning stable under heavy playing.

Fast Thin C Neck

The comfortable thin C neck profile makes fast passages and extended chord shapes easier to play.
