Frequently asked questions
What is the main tuning difference between these two guitars?
The Sunset-7 Extreme has a 27-inch scale length with seven strings, enabling lower extended-range tunings typical of metal and djent. The Stargazer-6 uses a standard 25.5-inch scale with six strings, suited to traditional rock and blues tunings.
Which guitar is better for fast lead playing?
The Stargazer-6 features a 14-inch radius fretboard optimized for string bending and smooth articulation, making it ideal for aggressive lead work. The Sunset-7 has a 16-inch radius and is voiced more for extended-range rhythm and soloing across seven strings rather than traditional lead bending.
How do the neck profiles compare?
Both guitars feature a thin 'C' profile, but the Sunset-7 measures 0.748 inches at the first fret with carbon fiber reinforcement for extended-scale stability, while the Stargazer-6 measures 0.787 inches at the first fret with a traditional 3-piece maple construction suited to standard playing dynamics.
Which pickup system offers more tonal variety?
The Stargazer-6's SuperRock Vintage pickups include push-pull coil-split functionality on the tone control, allowing switching between humbucker and single-coil voices. The Sunset-7's Sunset Strip and Pasadena pickups offer 5-way toggle switching without coil-split, designed for clarity across extended-range applications.
