Frequently asked questions
How many frets does each guitar have and what's the difference?
The Alexi-200 has 24 extra-jumbo frets; the GH SV-200 has 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Two more frets on the Alexi-200 extend upper-register access for shredding.
What's the pickup difference and how does it affect tone?
The Alexi-200 uses a single ESP LH-301B pickup for focused articulation and clarity. The GH SV-200 uses dual high-output ESP LH-301 pickups with coil-split capability, enabling both aggressive heavy tones and brighter single-coil textures.
Which tremolo system is better for extreme effects?
The GH SV-200 features the Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo, offering greater pitch stability during aggressive whammy bar use. The Alexi-200 uses a Floyd Rose Special, which is effective but the 1000 is more robust for heavy manipulation.
Are both B-Stock, and do they have the same neck profile?
Yes, both are B-Stock inventory at reduced pricing. Both feature a thin U-contour neck with 350mm fingerboard radius and 42mm nut width, making them comparable in playability; the Alexi-200 uses roasted Jatoba while the GH SV-200 uses standard fretboard wood.
