Frequently asked questions
Which is better for drop tunings and extended range playing?
The BB-600B excels here with its 27" baritone scale designed specifically for lower tunings, compared to the Alexi's standard 25.5" scale. The wider 42mm nut and set-thru mahogany construction also support articulate response across extended ranges.
What's the key pickup difference?
The Alexi uses EMG HZ passive humbuckers engineered for focused high-gain clarity, while the BB-600B pairs Seymour Duncan 59/JB Red pickups with active EQ and a piezo bridge system for hybrid magnetic-acoustic blending. EMG favors metal aggression; Seymour Duncan offers warmer, more versatile tones.
Which plays faster and feels lighter?
The Alexi Laiho's neck-thru design with scalloped upper frets (19-24) and standard 25.5" scale creates a faster platform for rapid position shifts and lead technique. The BB-600B's thicker 27" baritone scale is slower but provides deeper sustain and lower range.
Are both B-stock guitars playable right out of the box?
Yes—both are unplayed B-stock units with only minor cosmetic blemishes. The BB-600B is covered under ESP's 90-day warranty, ensuring full functionality. Both arrive setup and ready for performance.
