Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for rock and metal?
The AM-6 is more traditionally suited to rock and metal with its Solstice and Equinox pickups and simpler Gotoh tremolo. The Nikki Stringfield excels in progressive metal and experimental contexts where Sustainiac textural effects add dimension.
What's the practical difference between bolt-on and set-neck construction?
Bolt-on construction (AM-6) is easier to service and repair; set-neck (Nikki Stringfield) provides greater sustain and a more seamless neck-to-body transition. Set-neck is considered more premium but requires professional work if neck issues arise.
Do both guitars have floating bridges?
No. The AM-6 uses a Gotoh Vintage 2-Point hardtail tremolo for stable tuning. The Nikki Stringfield uses a Floyd Rose 1500 Series floating bridge, enabling extreme pitch bends and whammy effects but requiring more maintenance.
Which neck profile is faster for lead playing?
The Nikki Stringfield's ultra-thin profile (0.748" at 1st fret) is technically faster for speed; the AM-6's slightly thicker profile (0.787" at 1st fret) provides more grip and control for aggressive rhythm work. Both have 24 X-Jumbo frets and compound radius for comfortable lead access.
