Frequently asked questions
What is the main scale difference and how does it affect tuning?
The PT EX has a 27" baritone scale; the Sunset-6 has a standard 25.5" scale. The PT EX is engineered for lower, extended tunings (B, A, or lower); the Sunset-6 is optimized for standard to drop-D and light drop tunings. If you need to go significantly lower, the PT EX is the clear choice.
Which has a faster-playing neck?
The Sunset-6 Extreme has the faster neck—its ultra-thin 0.748" C-profile at the 1st fret is slimmer than the PT EX's thin C, and the standard scale allows quicker hand movement. The PT EX prioritizes stability and deep tone over speed.
Are both suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes, both handle metal and hard rock well. The PT EX excels in heavy, riff-driven metal with extended lows; the Sunset-6 Extreme is equally capable across modern metal and rock but with a more balanced, versatile voicing suited to varied tunings and styles.
How do the pickups and electronics compare?
The PT EX uses a Super Rock Vintage neck and Pasadena Plus bridge for warm/articulate-to-punchy voicing with a direct signal path. The Sunset-6 uses Sunset Strip and Pasadena Classic pickups for articulate highs and warm lows—more balanced and modern. The PT EX favors aggression; the Sunset-6 favors versatility.
