Frequently asked questions
Are the neck profiles and fretboard specs identical?

What's the main tonal difference between these pickups?
The Extreme-6's Diamond Plus pickups emphasize warm midrange and articulation suited to clean and classic rock tones. The Elite-6's Heretic 6 pickups are higher-output and more aggressive, favoring heavy metal and modern styles.
Which has better body construction for longevity?
The Extreme-6's quilted maple top over mahogany is more premium and visually striking, but both mahogany bodies with bolt-on construction are durable. The Extreme-6 is better for professional use; the Elite-6 is fully functional for any skill level.
