Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for standard tuning and classic rock?
The Sunset-6 ET suits standard tuning and classic rock better. Its 25.5" scale, EverTune bridge for tuning stability, and Fluence voice switching offer flexibility for cleaner tones and rhythmic playing. The Hellraiser C-7 is voiced for extended-range metal and djent.
Can I do dive-bombs and whammy effects on the Sunset-6 ET?
No. The Sunset-6 ET uses an EverTune fixed bridge designed for tuning stability, not tremolo effects. Only the Hellraiser C-7 FR S, with its Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge, supports dive-bomb and whammy bar performance.
What's the practical difference between the pickups?
The Hellraiser uses passive EMG 81-7 (bridge) and active Sustainiac (neck) for aggressive, sustained high-output tone ideal for metal. The Sunset-6 uses dual Fishman Fluence pickups with push-pull switching to select between two voice options per pickup, offering modern articulate cleans and characterful crunch for versatility.
Which requires less maintenance on tour?
The Sunset-6 ET with EverTune bridge maintains tuning stability without tremolo adjustment, making it more tour-friendly. The Hellraiser's Floyd Rose requires regular maintenance and setup, though it offers greater expressive capability.
