Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for studio and live versatility?
The Sunset-6 Red Dawn. Its three-voice Fishman Fluence system and articulate clean tones make it suitable for multiple genres and settings, whereas the Synyster Standard Plus is optimized specifically for high-gain metal and thrash applications.
Do both guitars have the same neck profile and scale length?
Both feature an ultra-thin C neck shape and 25.5 scale length, but the Synyster uses a bolt-on three-piece mahogany neck while the Sunset-6 uses a set three-piece maple neck. The set neck on the Sunset-6 provides greater upper-fret sustain.
What's the main tonal difference between the pickups?
The Synyster's eight-magnet ceramic humbuckers are voiced for aggressive, focused high-output tones suited to distortion. The Sunset-6's dual Fishman Fluence pickups (ceramic bridge, alnico neck) offer three distinct voices and excel at both clean articulation and high-gain punch with more versatility.
Which guitar is better if I want tremolo effects like whammy bar dive bombs?
The Synyster Standard Plus includes a Floyd Rose Special tremolo with locking nut. The Sunset-6 uses a Tonepros Locking Tune-O-Matic bridge with no tremolo system, so it's not suitable for dive bombs or floating effects.
