Frequently asked questions
Which is better for drop-D and lower tunings?
The Arrow's 25.5" scale provides tighter string tension and clearer articulation in very low tunings. The Eclipse QM's 24.75" scale works well for standard-to-drop-C but feels looser below that.
What's the practical difference between neck-thru and set-thru construction?
The Arrow's neck-thru gives maximum sustain and instant response; the Eclipse QM's set-thru allows easier access to higher frets and still delivers solid sustain for live use.
Are the pickups and electronics different between them?
Both use Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with dual-voice switching, but the Arrow pairs Alnico Black neck with Ceramic Black bridge for higher output, while the Eclipse QM uses the standard Fluence config for balanced attack and clean tones.
Why is the Eclipse QM listed as B-stock?
B-stock typically indicates minor cosmetic imperfections or previous display/return stock; electronics, hardware, and playability are identical to new. Verify the specific condition before purchase.
