Frequently asked questions
Which is better for drop tunings and baritone playing?
The SC-607B. Its 27" baritone scale, wider nut (1.88"), and mahogany body are engineered specifically for lower tunings and reduced finger fatigue. The Sawtooth's 25.5" scale is designed for standard to drop-D range.
Which guitar has more tonal versatility?
The SC-607B. Its dual Fishman Fluence active humbuckers with push/pull switching deliver clean, mid-forward, and high-gain voices without changing instruments. The Sawtooth's single passive EMG is focused on one aggressive tone character.
Which is faster for lead playing and solos?
The Alexi Sawtooth SE. Scalloped frets 19–24, a thinner neck profile, and lighter single-pickup design are optimized for rapid position shifts and extreme technique. The SC-607B prioritizes riffing comfort over lead speed.
Are both suitable for metal and djent?
Yes, both excel in metal and djent, but for different reasons. The Sawtooth is ideal for thrash and technical metal with extensive soloing; the SC-607B is better for djent and modern heavy music that emphasizes downtuned riffs and dynamic tonal control.
