Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings and extended range playing?
The PT EX Baritone is purpose-built for extended range with its 27-inch scale, which maintains tight string tension ideal for lower tunings. The Super Shredder FR S uses a standard 25.5-inch scale and is optimized for standard-to-half-step-drop tunings rather than aggressive downtuning.
What makes the Super Shredder's Sustainiac neck pickup special?
The Sustainiac offers three distinct harmonic modes (Fundamental, Mix, Harmonic) plus an on-off switch, enabling infinite sustain and feedback effects for lead work. The PT EX Baritone lacks this feature, focusing instead on traditional pickup switching for tonal range.
How do the neck profiles and playability differ?
Both feature thin 'C' necks, but the Super Shredder prioritizes speed with specific measurements (.787" at 1st fret, .866" at 12th), while the PT EX Baritone emphasizes stability through carbon fiber reinforcement and a 42mm Graph Tech nut for longer-scale baritone control.
Is the PT EX B-Stock condition a real limitation?
No—B-Stock indicates only cosmetic marks with zero impact on tone or playability. It delivers the same professional-grade specifications and electronics as new stock at exceptional value.
