Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in neck feel between these two?
The Sunset-6 Extreme has an ultra-thin 0.748" profile at the 1st fret with carbon fiber reinforcement designed for minimal fatigue. The PT Pro uses a roasted maple neck with a slightly thicker 0.787" profile at the 1st fret, prioritizing fast response and tonal character over extreme thinness.
Which guitar sustains better?
The PT Pro's string-thru-body bridge with stainless steel saddles is specifically engineered to maximize sustain and tonal stability. The Sunset-6 uses a hardtail design, which is stable but doesn't offer the same sustained resonance.
How many frets does each have and why does it matter?
The Sunset-6 Extreme has 24 X-Jumbo frets, enabling access to higher pitch ranges for modern shredding. The PT Pro has 22 X-Jumbo frets, which is standard for most rock and metal playing and still adequate for progressive work.
What does B-stock mean and is the PT Pro a full-spec instrument?
B-stock means the PT Pro is a return or display model with minor cosmetic imperfections but full professional-grade specifications and construction. It delivers identical electronics, bridge hardware, and playability to a new unit at a reduced price.
