Frequently asked questions
What is the main string-count difference and does it matter for my style?
The Custom-7 TR has seven strings; the Custom-6 TR-S has six. The 7-string enables deeper drop tunings and broader harmonic range, making it ideal for progressive and djent. The 6-string is lighter, faster, and traditional for standard metal and hard rock.
How do the pickup configurations differ and what does that mean for tone?
The Custom-7 TR uses two Schecter USA Synyster Gates humbuckers with coil-split, giving you aggressive leads and warm cleans in one guitar. The Custom-6 TR-S pairs a bridge humbucker with a Sustainiac neck pickup, specializing in infinite sustain and layered, expressive textures rather than tonal breadth.
Are there construction or comfort differences?
Both feature chambered mahogany, ultra-thin 'C' necks, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and carbon fiber reinforcement. The Custom-6 TR-S body includes a maple cap and weight-reduction chambers, making it noticeably lighter; the Custom-7 TR prioritizes balance and extended fret access with its design.
Which one is better for studio recording?
The Custom-7 TR is listed for studio sessions and offers tonal versatility via coil-split, suiting diverse tracking needs. The Custom-6 TR-S excels in studio for aggressive metal and sustain-heavy parts where the Sustainiac's infinite sustain creates layered textures.
