Frequently asked questions
What's the actual difference in playability between these two?
None. Both feature identical roasted maple necks with 14-inch radius, 22 X-Jumbo frets, 25.5-inch scale, and the same Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut. The B-stock dent is on the back of the neck only, not affecting fretboard or playing feel.
Do the pickups and tone differ between the two?
No. Both use Schecter Diamond '78 bridge humbucker with Schecter Diamond Nick Johnston single coils in neck and middle positions, delivering the same versatile HSS tone palette for rock, blues, and indie music.
What is B stock and is the dent visible during normal play?
B stock means the item has minor cosmetic damage from handling or return. The dent is on the back of the neck, completely hidden when you're holding and playing the guitar, and does not affect function.
Which is better for studio and live gigging?
Both are equally suited to studio and live work—identical electronics, tuning stability, and build quality. Your choice depends only on whether the cosmetic discount justifies the hidden dent.
