Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for lead-heavy metal playing?
The Arrow NT's neck-thru-body construction and 305mm radius fingerboard provide faster fret access and superior sustain for technical lead work, making it the stronger choice for lead-driven metal styles.
What's the main tonal difference between the Fishman and EMG pickups?
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers emphasize articulate highs and aggressive midrange with versatile voicing, while the EMG 66TW and 57TW excel at delivering both warm, clean tones and aggressive high-gain with coil-splitting flexibility for single-coil voicings.
Is the Eclipse DB left-handed only, or available as right-handed?
The Eclipse DB described here is left-handed configuration; the Arrow NT is configured for right-handed players. Confirm left-handed availability with the retailer if you need a specific orientation.
Which construction method provides better sustain and why?
The Arrow NT's neck-thru-body construction typically yields slightly longer sustain because the neck and body are one continuous piece, though the Eclipse DB's set-neck mahogany construction also delivers excellent sustain through its resonant body wood and hardware.
