Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for touring and gigging?
The CR-6 has a hardtail bridge that maintains tuning stability without tremolo maintenance, making it more roadworthy. The Omen Extreme-FR's Floyd Rose requires regular attention and setup; it excels in controlled studio and performance environments where pitch manipulation is central to your sound.
How do the pickups and tones differ?
The Omen Extreme-FR uses Schecter Diamond Plus pickups with articulate highs and thick lows, optimized for aggressive and versatile gain tones. The CR-6's Schecter USA Apocalypse-II humbuckers deliver warmer sustain and articulate mids, favoring classic rock and metal tones with more body and warmth.
What does B-stock mean for the CR-6?
B-stock indicates the guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic flaws—in this case, white spots under the finish at the headstock. It plays and sounds identical to new stock and comes at a discount; purely a visual consideration.
Are both guitars good for metal and hard rock?
Yes, both excel in these genres. The Omen Extreme-FR suits metal with extended techniques and dynamic whammy effects, while the CR-6 suits metal with superior tuning stability and a warmer, more sustaining tone profile ideal for heavy, rhythmic playing.
