Frequently asked questions
Which guitar has a tremolo system?
The Arrow-200 includes an LTD by Floyd Rose tremolo for pitch modulation and dive-bomb effects. The EXL-200 uses a fixed TOM-style bridge with tailpiece and does not have a tremolo system.
How do the neck profiles and scales differ?
Both have Thin U profiles, but the Arrow-200 uses a 25.5" scale with 24 extra-jumbo frets, while the EXL-200 uses a 24.75" scale with 22 extra-jumbo frets. The EXL-200's shorter scale suits players with smaller hands or those preferring less finger stretch.
What's the difference in fingerboard material?
The Arrow-200 features roasted jatoba, which resists moisture and maintains stability over time. The EXL-200 uses rosewood with white dot inlays for traditional aesthetics and tactile reference points.
Which guitar is better for tuning stability during aggressive playing?
The EXL-200's fixed TOM bridge with tailpiece locks tuning without moving parts, making it superior for tuning retention. The Arrow-200's Floyd Rose tremolo moves during use, requiring more tuning maintenance if you use pitch effects extensively.
