Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional with only minor cosmetic imperfections—no defects in playability, tone, or hardware. It comes with all original components, including the ESP hardshell case, and performs identically to a new unit at a reduced price.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or blues?
No. The tight low end, cutting mids, and searing high-gain character of the EMG 81/60 pickup set is optimized for metal, hard rock, and progressive styles. Jazz and blues players typically prefer warmer, more rounded tones.
What's the neck contour, and will it fit my hand?
The neck features a Thin U contour with a satin finish, designed for speed and comfort during fast lead work and rhythm playing. The smooth heel joint allows easy upper-fret access. Best suited for players with intermediate to advanced technique.
What pickups are installed, and can I swap them?
The guitar ships with an EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 60 (neck) in Brushed Black Chrome finish. Both are active pickups, so you'll need a battery compartment; they can be replaced with other active EMGs or passive pickups with some wiring modification.
Does it come with a case and what strings are on it?
Yes, an ESP EX form-fit hardshell case is included. The guitar ships strung with Elixir Nanoweb Light gauge (.010–.046).
