Frequently asked questions
Are these guitars tonally different?
No. Both feature identical EMG 81 and EMG 60TW-R pickups, mahogany body with maple cap, and neck-through construction. The tonal character and aggressive articulation are the same.
What is the scale length and what tunings work best?
Both have a 27-inch baritone scale designed for B-standard tuning and lower. The extra-long scale maintains clarity and tension in extended tunings without requiring excessive string gauge.
Which is better for metal and djent?
Both are equally suited to metal, djent, and progressive work. The tight low end, punchy articulation, and neck-through sustain are identical. Choose based on which hand you play with.
Is the playability different between them?
No. Both have the same extra-thin three-piece maple neck, compound-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless frets, and locking tuners for pitch stability during alternate tunings.
