Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in string count and tuning?
The Custom 7 TR has seven strings for extended downtuned range typical in modern metal and progressive styles. The Custom 6 TR-S uses standard six strings, making it more familiar for players transitioning from traditional guitars or those who don't need the lower notes.
How do the pickup systems differ tonally?
The Custom 7 TR uses dual signature humbuckers with coil-split, letting you dial in clean, warm tones alongside aggressive leads. The Custom 6 TR-S pairs a high-output bridge humbucker with a Sustainiac neck pickup, prioritizing sustain and layered textures over tonal variety.
Which is better for someone new to metal guitar?
The Custom 6 TR-S suits intermediate players transitioning to metal because six strings are more approachable; the Custom 7 TR demands comfort with extended range and is better suited for players already familiar with 7-string layouts or prog-metal styles.
Are both equally stable for aggressive playing?
Both feature carbon fiber reinforcement, Hipshot headless tremolos, and the same 19–20mm ultra-thin neck profile, so tuning stability is comparable. The key difference is the 7-string's additional lower string adds different physical demands and bridge engineering.
