Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal?
Both suit metal, but the AM-6 excels at modern metal with tight articulation and controlled sustain, while the E-1 FR S targets progressive and hard rock with more sustain and harmonic depth via the Sustainiac pickup.

The AM-6 uses bolt-on basswood-body construction for brightness and snap, while the E-1 FR S employs set-neck mahogany construction for warmth, stability, and increased sustain.
How do the pickup systems differ?
The AM-6 has dual standard Schecter USA humbuckers (Solstice bridge, Equinox neck) with master volume/tone controls. The E-1 FR S pairs an Apocalypse-VI bridge pickup with a Sustainiac neck pickup offering three harmonic modes and dedicated Sustainiac switches for advanced lead textures.
Which is easier to play for extended sessions?
