Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal?
The Omen Elite-7 MS is better suited to metal with its high-output Diamond Heretic pickups, tight low end, and seven-string multiscale design that excels in drop tunings. The Nick Johnston PT works for hard rock but prioritizes tonal balance over aggressive character.
What's the main difference in neck feel?
The Nick Johnston PT has a Vintage "C" neck measuring 0.825" to 0.865", while the Omen Elite-7 MS has a thinner "C" at 0.787" to 0.866", making the Omen faster-access. The Omen's wider nut (1.889" vs 1.67") accommodates seven strings comfortably.
Can I play standard tuning on the Omen Elite-7?
Yes, the Omen Elite-7 works in standard tuning, but its multiscale design and seven-string configuration are optimized for extended tunings and lower register playing. The Nick Johnston PT is more naturally suited to traditional standard tuning applications.
Which has more tonal variety?
The Nick Johnston PT offers greater tonal range with its humbucker-to-single-coil split via push-pull tone control, allowing warm and bright options. The Omen Elite-7 MS is voiced for modern high-output consistency rather than switching between warm and bright.
