Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings?
The EC-1007B is built for drop tunings with its 27" baritone scale that maintains string tension and clarity even in ultra-low tunings. The BK-600's 24.75" scale works best in standard to one-step-down tunings.
How do the pickups differ?
The BK-600 features Bill Kelliher Mojotone Hellbender humbuckers with dual coil-splits for single-coil tones. The EC-1007B uses Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers (Alnico neck, Ceramic bridge) with pull-to-switch voicing, offering more electronic flexibility but without the coil-split option.
What's the advantage of the EC-1007B's EverTune bridge?
The EverTune bridge automatically maintains perfect intonation across temperature, humidity, and tuning changes—ideal for studio work and players who want zero intonation drift. The BK-600 uses a traditional TonePros locking bridge, which is reliable but requires manual adjustment.
Which is easier to play for someone with smaller hands?
The BK-600's 24.75" scale and 42mm nut width make it more accessible for shorter reach and reduced hand stretch. The EC-1007B's 48mm nut width and seven-string layout require more hand span and are better suited to players already comfortable with extended-range instruments.
