Frequently asked questions
Are the pickup configurations and tone identical between these two?
Yes. Both feature EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60 neck pickups, mahogany bodies with flamed maple tops, and produce the same high-output, articulate tone optimized for metal and progressive styles. The only tonal descriptor difference in marketing language is minor—both deliver clarity and sustain suitable for extended range and dropped tunings.
What is the neck specification, and is it the same on both?
Both have identical 3-piece maple necks with carbon fiber reinforcement rods, 24 X-Jumbo frets, 14-inch radius ebony fretboards, 25.5-inch scale length, and ultra-thin U-profile (0.748 at 1st fret, 0.787 at 12th fret). Both support fast lead work and aggressive rhythm playing without compromise.
Are B-Stock units a good value, and do these come with warranty?
Both B-Stock units carry only superficial cosmetic marks while retaining full structural integrity and manufacturer warranty. B-Stock pricing reflects cosmetic blemishes alone—playability, electronics, and hardware are uncompromised, making these solid value for intermediate to professional players.
Which color should I choose—Blue or Purple?
This is purely aesthetic preference. Satin Trans Blue reads cooler and darker, while Satin Trans Purple offers a warmer, more distinctive hue. The underlying satin finish and all hardware and tone characteristics are identical; choose the color that resonates with your visual preference.
