Frequently asked questions
Are these guitars the exact same instrument except for color?
Yes. Both feature the same mahogany body with flamed maple top, EMG 81/60 pickups, Floyd Rose Special tremolo, ultra-thin U-neck, 24 X-Jumbo frets on ebony, 25.5" scale, and 14" radius. The only difference is the finish: Satin Trans Blue versus Satin Trans Purple.
Will the finish affect the tone or playability?
No. Guitar finish is purely cosmetic and does not alter tone, sustain, or how the instrument plays. Both will sound and feel identical.
Which is better for metal and drop tunings?
Both are equally suited for metal and drop tunings. They share the same locking Floyd Rose tremolo, stable set-neck construction, and aggressive EMG electronics designed specifically for modern metal and progressive styles.
Why are these B-Stock models, and should I worry?
B-Stock typically means minor cosmetic imperfections, returned items, or open-box inventory—not defects in playability or sound. Both models should perform identically to new stock at a potentially lower price point.
