Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings and djent?
The Solo-II Damien Platinum is explicitly listed as suitable for drop tunings and djent, while the Reaper-6 FR S is not mentioned for those applications. The Solo-II's EMG 81 bridge pickup is optimized for tight, palm-muted riffs typical of djent.
What is the main difference between the neck profiles?
The Solo-II has a thin 'C' shape measuring 20mm at the 1st fret and 22mm at the 12th. The Reaper-6 has an Ultra Thin 'C' measuring 0.748 inches (roughly 19mm) at the 1st fret and 0.787 inches (roughly 20mm) at the 12th, making it slightly thinner overall.
Why would I choose the Reaper-6 over the Solo-II if they're both metal guitars?
The Reaper-6 offers a Floyd Rose bridge for dive-bomb and pitch-bend effects, plus a Sustainiac neck pickup that enables harmonic feedback and sustain modes unavailable on the Solo-II. It also uses Swamp Ash and Burl Maple for enhanced tonal clarity. The B-stock condition provides new, unplayed gear at a lower price.
Does the Solo-II have a tremolo system?
No, the Solo-II description does not mention a tremolo or bridge system; it is a fixed-bridge design. The Reaper-6 FR S includes a Floyd Rose 1500 Series floating tremolo bridge.
