Frequently asked questions
What is the Sustainiac and is it worth the extra cost?
The Sustainiac is an electronic system that produces feedback and sustain effects controllable via dedicated switches and modes. It's valuable for progressive and experimental players who want harmonic textures beyond standard pickup output; less useful for straightforward metal or hard rock if you just want to plug in and play.
Are the pickups, neck, and bridge identical on both?
Yes. Both feature the same Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod locking tremolo, 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, Canadian Rock Maple neck with thin C shape, mahogany body, and high-output EMG pickups. The only meaningful hardware difference is Green Reign's Sustainiac electronics.
Which finish is better for stage visibility?
Blue Reign and Green Reign are both striking colors under stage lights; the choice is purely aesthetic. Both will catch attention visually.
Are these guitars suitable for drop tunings?
Yes, both handle drop tunings well due to their 25.5-inch scale, sturdy Floyd Rose Special bridge, and high-output pickups designed for heavy styles. The slightly thicker body mass at 12th fret provides good sustain for lower tunings.
