Frequently asked questions
What tuning range does each guitar handle?
The Eclipse '87 with its 24.75" scale works best in standard and half-step-down tunings. The MH-1000B's 27" baritone scale is engineered for drop tunings (drop D and lower) while maintaining solid string tension and intonation.
How do the pickup systems differ?
The Eclipse '87 uses passive Seymour Duncan '59 (neck) and JB (bridge) pickups, delivering warm vintage tones with simple coil-split control. The MH-1000B uses active EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 60TW-R (neck) pickups with volume and tone controls, providing higher output and more aggressive metal voicing.
Which guitar is better for studio work?
The Eclipse '87 suits classic hard rock and progressive studios with its balanced, articulate passive tone. The MH-1000B excels in modern metal and extreme-tuning studios where high output and tight low-end definition are priorities.
How do scale lengths affect playability?
The Eclipse '87's 24.75" scale offers familiar spacing and reach for most players. The MH-1000B's 27" scale stretches finger distance but keeps lower-tuned strings from becoming loose or muddy, making extended-range playing more precise.
