Frequently asked questions
Which has more frets and what does that mean for my playing?
The Sunset-6 Extreme has 24 X-Jumbo frets versus the PT Pro's 22 frets, giving you two extra high frets for extended range soloing. For most players, 22 frets is more than sufficient; the extra frets on the Sunset-6 are mainly useful for high-register lead work.
How do the neck profiles differ and which is more comfortable?
The Sunset-6 Extreme's neck measures 0.748" at fret 1 (thinnest), while the PT Pro measures 0.787" at fret 1. Both feature thin 'C' profiles, but the Sunset-6's extra slimness reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions, especially for players with smaller hands or those doing high-fret work.
What's the difference in tone between the pickups?
The Sunset-6 Extreme pairs single-coil-like articulate pickups (Sunset Strip and Pasadena) for clarity across lead and rhythm. The PT Pro uses dual Z-Plus pickups with push-pull controls designed for thick, high-gain output with punchy mids—better suited for modern metal and progressive styles.
Is the PT Pro B-stock worth choosing over new inventory?
B-stock typically means cosmetic blemishes or minor imperfections with full functionality and warranty. If you prioritize value and don't mind potential finish marks, the PT Pro offers professional specifications at a reduced price point versus new models.
