Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Synyster Standard for genres other than metal?
While the Synyster excels in metal, hard rock, and progressive styles, its thick humbuckers and Floyd Rose tremolo are less suited to jazz, blues, and folk where clarity and traditional tone are valued. The Reaper-6 offers more versatile voicing across genres, though it is also optimized for heavier styles.
What is the main difference between these guitars' bridge systems?
The Reaper-6 uses a string-thru hardtail bridge that maximizes tuning stability and sustain with no moving parts. The Synyster Standard uses a Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod locking tremolo that allows dramatic pitch manipulation, dive-bombs, and expressive effects but requires more maintenance and setup knowledge.
Are both guitars suitable for professional and studio use?
Yes, both are built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The Reaper-6 is noted as equally at home for extended studio sessions or live performance with its stable tuning. The Synyster Standard is designed for high-energy playing styles and benefits from its tremolo in live performances where pitch effects enhance the performance.
Which guitar is better for left-handed players?
Only the Reaper-6 LH is available as a true left-handed configuration with left-handed tuners and bridge setup. The Synyster Standard is designed for right-handed players and would require custom ordering or modification to accommodate left-handed play.
