Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference between these guitars?
The Super Shredder's Black Limba body emphasizes warm, thick resonance and sustain ideal for metal. The AM-6's arched basswood is lighter and more articulate, with clearer highs and stronger treble definition.
Which is better for players who use tremolo effects?
The AM-6 includes a Gotoh Vintage 2-Point Tremolo bridge with Grip-Lock tuning stability, making it the clear choice for tremolo-dependent playing. The Super Shredder's hardtail design is built for maximum tuning lock without effects.
Are the neck and fretboard specs identical?
Yes—both feature the same thin 'C' neck profile (0.787" at 1st fret, 0.866" at 12th fret), twenty-four X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, compound 12"-16" radius, Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, and heel-access 2-way truss rods.
Which pickup set is more versatile?
Both are designed for hard rock and metal, but the Super Shredder's Sunset Strip and Pasadena explicitly handle jazz applications. The AM-6's Solstice and Equinox are optimized for rock, hard rock, metal, and progressive without jazz designation.
