Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal and heavy music?
The Sun Valley Super Shredder FR is designed specifically for metal and djent with aggressive EMG pickups, a locking Floyd Rose tremolo, and extended-range fret access. The PT Special is voiced for rock and blues and lacks the tonal aggression and stability features needed for heavy distortion.
What's the difference in playability between these guitars?
The Sun Valley has a thinner C-neck (0.787" at 1st fret) with 24 X-Jumbo frets and a tighter 14" radius, optimized for speed and extended techniques. The PT Special has a vintage C-profile on Hard Maple with 22 Jumbo frets and a gentler 12" radius, prioritizing comfort and familiar offset-body ergonomics.
Do I need to worry about battery replacement on either guitar?
The Sun Valley has active EMG pickups powered by a 9-volt battery that will need periodic replacement. The PT Special uses passive pickups with no battery requirement, making it simpler to maintain.
Why is the Sun Valley listed as B-Stock?
B-Stock means the guitar has visible cosmetic wear (a body chip is noted) but is fully functional and mechanically sound. This is typically reflected in a lower price compared to new condition.
