Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal and shredding?
The Sun Valley Super Shredder PT FR is purpose-built for metal with its high-output EMG pickups, Floyd Rose bridge for dive-bombs, thin-C neck, and 25.5" scale. The PT Special is designed for blues and rock and lacks the aggressive voicing and tremolo system needed for metal.
Can the PT Special handle rock and funk effectively?
Yes—the PT Special excels in rock, indie, and funk with its warm swamp ash tone, expressive midrange, and Series-Parallel tone control that provides vintage-to-modern voicing options. Its vintage bridge and Grover tuners add traditional character suitable for these genres.
What is the difference in fretboard feel between these two?
The Super Shredder has a 14" radius with 22 jumbo frets optimized for fast legato and aggressive bending. The PT Special has a softer 12" radius with X-Jumbo frets, balancing clean articulation with smooth, expressive bending—better suited to traditional playing styles.
Are there playability concerns with the B-stock conditions?
The Super Shredder has minor cosmetic fretboard marks that don't affect playability. The PT Special has a hairline crack in the neck pocket visible in photos, which is cosmetic and does not impact structural integrity or playability according to the description.
