Frequently asked questions
What's the main structural difference between these guitars?
The Omen Extreme-6 uses a bolt-on neck with a Tune-O-Matic bridge, while the CR-6 features a set-neck design (3-piece maple with carbon-fiber rods) and a string-thru-body hardtail bridge. The CR-6's through-body design typically yields greater sustain and tuning stability.
Which guitar has more pickup versatility?
The Omen Extreme-6 includes a push/pull master tone knob for coil-splitting, allowing you to move from full humbucker thickness to single-coil snap. The CR-6 uses dual Apocalypse-II humbuckers with a standard 3-way switch—no coil-split option.
Are both B-stock guitars playable right out of the box?
Yes. The Omen Extreme-6 B-stock condition is not detailed beyond standard listing. The CR-6 B-stock has minor white spots under the finish at the headstock only—the playability and tone are described as flawless.
Which is better for metal and drop tunings?
Both are rated for metal and progressive tuning. The CR-6's string-thru-body hardtail and thicker Apocalypse-II pickups emphasize sustain and aggression, while the Omen Extreme-6's coil-split gives you more tonal flexibility within heavy genres.
