Frequently asked questions
What is the main tonal difference between these two models?
The Custom-7 emphasizes balanced, articulate dual-humbucker tones with coil-split warmth. The Custom-6 prioritizes high-output aggression and infinite sustain via its Sustainiac neck pickup, delivering thicker midrange and tighter lows optimized for djent.
Why would I choose 7 strings over 6?
Seven strings unlock lower tunings common in extreme metal and progressive music, plus extended low-end range. The 6-string is lighter and more focused if you stick to standard or drop tunings and want maximum sustain for lead work.
Which is better for studio versus live play?
Both excel in studios and live settings due to their headless design and balanced ergonomics. The Custom-7's coil-split offers more tonal recording variety; the Custom-6's Sustainiac shines in layered, effects-heavy live performances.
Are the neck profiles and fret access identical?
Yes—both feature the same ultra-thin 'C' profile (19mm to 20mm), 24 frets with deep insert joint access, 16-inch radius ebony fretboard, and dual carbon fiber reinforcement rods for stability under aggressive playing.
