Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal and progressive music?
The Sunset-7 Extreme is purpose-built for metal and progressive styles with its seven strings, extended 27" scale, and clear articulate tone designed for drop tunings and lower extended ranges. The Stargazer-6 is optimized for rock and blues.
Can I play rock and blues on either guitar?
The Stargazer-6 is specifically voiced for rock and blues with warm vintage tones and smooth rhythm characteristics. The Sunset-7 is possible but designed for extended-range styles; its balanced midrange and articulate highs suit modern progressive tones rather than vintage warmth.
What is the key difference in neck construction?
The Sunset-7 uses a five-piece maple and rosewood neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods to handle the 27" scale and prevent neck dive on a longer instrument. The Stargazer-6 uses a three-piece maple neck optimized for the standard 25.5" scale without needing reinforcement.
How many frets does each guitar have?
The Sunset-7 Extreme has 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard with 16" radius. The Stargazer-6 has 22 jumbo frets on a 14" radius fretboard, which facilitates smoother string bending.
