Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between the pickups?
The MH-1000ET uses passive EMG pickups (60TW-R neck, 81 bridge) with a split-coil control for quick tonal shaping. The MH-1000NT FM features active Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with dual voice switching via pull-tone functionality on both pickups, offering wider tonal range and harmonic depth.
Does one stay in tune better than the other?
The MH-1000ET includes an Evertune bridge system specifically designed to maintain tuning stability under performance demands and aggressive bending. The MH-1000NT FM relies on traditional bridge hardware with a 42mm molded nut for consistent intonation but lacks the auto-compensation of an Evertune system.
Which is better for fast lead work?
Both guitars have extra-thin U-contoured necks and 24 stainless steel frets for speed. The MH-1000NT FM's compound fingerboard radius (300-400mm) is specifically engineered to optimize both single-note precision and smooth bending, while the MH-1000ET offers fast access with a consistent neck profile across its range.
Are both suitable for studio and live performance?
Yes, both are listed as appropriate for studio sessions and live performance at intermediate, advanced, and professional skill levels. The choice depends on whether you prioritize the tuning stability of the Evertune bridge (ET) or the tonal versatility of voice-switching pickups (NT FM).
