Both are the same model with identical hardware, pickup configuration, neck specs, and scale length. Unit 0840 includes decorative multi-ply binding and Grover tuners, while unit 0835 emphasizes the core Sustainiac functionality. Both are unplayed B-stock units with minor cosmetic variations.

Both feature a thin 'C' profile measuring 0.787 inches at the 1st fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret on a 25.5-inch scale. This fast, responsive profile is optimized for rapid position shifts and extended passages typical of metal and progressive genres.
