Frequently asked questions
Which guitar has better sustain?
The Jerry Horton Tempest's TOM bridge and tailpiece system is specifically engineered for superior sustain and tuning stability. The Reaper-6 Custom Lefty's string-thru-body Hipshot Hardtail prioritizes resonance and clarity over maximum sustain.
What's the key difference in pickup character?
The Reaper-6 uses dual San Andreas single-coil pickups for articulate, muscular output with responsive dynamics. The Tempest uses paired humbuckers that deliver thicker tones with natural compression and harmonic complexity, better suited for heavy genres.
Are these guitars suitable for beginners?
Both are rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional skill levels. Their thin 'C' neck profiles reduce fatigue, but their pro-grade hardware and articulate pickups are optimized for players with established technique rather than beginners.
Why is the Reaper-6 only available as a lefty?
The Reaper-6 Custom Lefty is specifically designed and marketed for left-handed players who demand the same quality and features as right-handed counterparts. The Tempest is a right-handed signature model based on Jerry Horton's playing preferences.
