Frequently asked questions
Which guitar handles lower tunings better?
The SCT-607B's 27" baritone scale and seven strings are purpose-built for ultra-low tunings with clarity and definition. The MK-600's 24.75" scale handles standard and aggressive drop tunings well but isn't designed for extreme downtuning like the baritone.
What's the main playability difference?
Both share thin U-contoured necks and 24 extra-jumbo frets for speed, but the SCT-607B's seven-string layout and 48mm wider nut require adjustment if you're transitioning from 6-string instruments. The MK-600 feels more familiar to traditional metal players.
How do the pickup systems compare?
Both use Fishman Fluence active pickups with multiple voices, but the SCT-607B's SRC Signature offers three selectable characters per pickup (modern active, modern passive attack, overwound single-coil), while the MK-600's Modern Humbuckers focus on active/passive switching between two modes.
Which suits Kreator versus Deftones styles?
The MK-600 is Mille Petrozza's signature model, optimized for thrash metal riffing and solos. The SCT-607B is Stephen Carpenter's baritone, engineered for Deftones' heavier, lower-register djent and sludge tones.
