Frequently asked questions
What is the main structural difference between these guitars?
The Arrow-400 uses set-neck construction, where the neck is glued into the body for focused sustain and easier upper-fret access. The MH-350FR uses neck-through construction, where the neck extends through the entire body for maximum sustain and tonal integration. Both designs are professional-grade; neck-through generally offers slightly more sustain, while set-neck balances comfort with performance.
Are the pickups and electronics identical?
Both guitars use EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck active humbuckers with identical output and character. Both feature Floyd Rose Special bridges and straightforward volume/tone/switch controls. The tonal difference comes from body construction and woods, not electronics.
Which is better for live gigging?
The MH-350FR's neck-through construction and B-Stock price make it ideal for gigging musicians who need maximum sustain and tuning stability through aggressive sets. The Arrow-400 is equally tour-capable but positioned as a more balanced studio/stage tool.
What does B-Stock mean for the MH-350FR?
B-Stock indicates minor cosmetic imperfections only—no structural, electrical, or tonal defects. The guitar is fully playable and professional-grade with zero compromise to sound or function.
