Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for someone new to higher-end instruments?
The AM-6 Aaron Marshall is more forgiving for intermediate players since the Gotoh Vintage tremolo requires less setup knowledge than the Floyd Rose 1500 Series, and the versatile pickups handle a wider range of playing styles without specialized switching modes.
Can I get harmonic feedback and sustain tricks on the AM-6?
The AM-6 can produce feedback and sustain through technique and amp settings, but it lacks the dedicated Sustainiac neck pickup with dedicated switching modes that the Reaper-6 FR S provides for reliable harmonic mode control.
What's the practical difference between set-neck and bolt-on construction here?
The Reaper-6's set-neck delivers more sustain and resonance because the neck is permanently glued to the body, while the AM-6's bolt-on design sacrifices slightly less sustain in exchange for easier neck replacement and adjustment if needed.
Which one is more stable for drop tunings and heavy playing?
The Reaper-6 FR S with its Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking bridge and nut maintains tuning under extreme techniques, while the AM-6's Gotoh tremolo is solid for standard and drop tunings but less specialized for rapidly shifting between extreme tuning states.
