Frequently asked questions
What's the main playability difference between these two?
The Extreme-7 has seven strings and a 26.5" extended scale for lower tunings typical in modern metal, while the FR LH has six strings, a 25.5" standard scale, and a Floyd Rose tremolo for pitch-bending effects. The Extreme-7 neck tapers the same way (0.787" to 0.866"), but spans an extra string.
Which is better for aggressive metal and djent?
The Omen Extreme-7 is specifically voiced for djent and extended-range metal with its lower scale length and seven-string voicing. The FR LH is voiced for rock and metal but lacks the extra string and extended scale tuning range djent demands.
Is one more versatile for clean tones?
Both feature Schecter Diamond Plus pickups and push-pull coil-splitting, so both can handle clean tones. The FR LH's Floyd Rose adds expressive tremolo effects unavailable on the Extreme-7's fixed Tune-O-Matic bridge, making it more versatile for pitch modulation.
What about left-hand vs. right-hand availability?
The FR LH is specifically manufactured for left-handed players. The Extreme-7 is a right-handed model, so left-handed players should choose the FR LH.
