The Omen Extreme-II has a thin 'C' profile measuring 20 mm at the first fret and 22 mm at the 12th. The Reaper-6 FR S features an ultra-thin 'C' profile measuring 0.748 inches at the first fret and 0.787 at the 12th, making it slightly slimmer and designed with professional upper-fret access in mind.
Does either guitar offer tremolo or tuning adjustment options?
The Omen Extreme-II uses a hardtail Nouveau Ergo bridge with no tremolo, prioritizing tuning stability. The Reaper-6 FR S includes a Floyd Rose 1500 Series floating bridge and nut, allowing extensive pitch bending, divebombs, and fine tuning adjustments for advanced players.
