Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two guitars?
The Sunset-6 has a 25.5" scale and 6 strings for traditional rock and blues, while the Sunset-7 has a 27" scale and 7 strings optimized for metal, djent, and drop tunings. Both share the same ultra-thin C-neck profile and pickup configuration.
Do they sound different?
Both use identical Schecter USA Tripocalypse bridge and Apocalypse neck pickups, but the Sunset-7's longer 27" scale produces tighter, more articulate low-end response ideal for extended-range tunings. The Sunset-6's 25.5" scale delivers a warmer character suited to standard tunings.
Which one should a blues or rock player choose?
The Sunset-6 is designed for rock, metal, blues, and studio sessions, making it the natural choice for traditional rock and blues players who don't need extended range.
Are the necks and fretboards identical?
Both feature ultra-thin C-neck profiles, 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, 16" radius ebony fretboards, and dual carbon fiber reinforcement. The Sunset-7 adds a Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut sized for seven strings, while the Sunset-6 uses a standard six-string nut.
