Frequently asked questions
What tuning range is each guitar designed for?
The PT EX Baritone's 27-inch scale is engineered for extreme drop tunings and sub-standard pitches without flab or loss of clarity. The PT Pro's standard 25.5-inch scale works well for traditional rock and metal tunings, including moderate drops, but is not optimized for extreme baritone territory.
How do the pickups differ in output and character?
The PT EX features a high-output Pasadena Plus bridge and articulate SuperRock Vintage neck pickup with 5-way switching for maximum tonal flexibility. The PT Pro uses dual Z-Plus pickups with volume/tone push-pull controls and 3-way switching, delivering thick, articulate output suited to high-gain and clean applications but with less switching options.
Are both B-Stock conditions the same value proposition?
Both are B-Stock with minor cosmetic marks and zero impact on tone or playability. Both offer exceptional value at the mid-price tier; choose based on whether you need the extended-range capability (PT EX) or prefer the standard-scale versatility (PT Pro).
Which is better for studio recording?
The PT Pro excels for studio work across rock and metal genres with its versatile dual pickups and balanced sustain. The PT EX is better if your studio work requires extreme drop tunings, djent, or progressive metal with pristine low-end definition.
