Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference between these guitars?
The Nick Johnston PT uses single-coil pickups for articulate, frequency-balanced tone that cuts through mixes cleanly. The Omen Elite-7 MS uses dual high-output humbucking-style Diamond Heretic pickups for aggressive, tight articulation suited to heavy music and lower tunings.
Can I use the Nick Johnston PT for metal?
The Nick Johnston PT is not ideal for metal according to its design brief; its single-coil tone and output are optimized for rock and indie clarity rather than the aggression and sustain metal players typically need.
How many strings does each guitar have?
The Nick Johnston PT is a standard six-string guitar. The Omen Elite-7 MS is a seven-string instrument with a multiscale fretboard (25.5 to 27 inches) to accommodate extended range and lower tunings.
Which neck profile is faster for lead playing?
Both feature thin C profiles (.787 at the first fret), but the Omen Elite-7 MS has a thinner modern feel with carbon-fiber reinforcement designed for speed. The Nick Johnston PT's roasted maple neck prioritizes stability and familiar comfort.
