Frequently asked questions
Which is better for jazz?
The Stiletto Studio-6 FL is specifically designed for jazz with its fretless fingerboard, expressive capability, and warm woody tones. The Studio-8 is fretted and optimized for progressive and metal, making it less ideal for traditional jazz phrasing.
Can a right-handed player use the Studio-8?
No—the Studio-8 is explicitly left-handed configured. If you play right-handed, the Studio-6 FL is your option from these two.
What's the scale length difference and why does it matter?
The Studio-8 uses a 34-inch scale; the Studio-6 FL uses a 35-inch scale. The longer 35-inch scale in the Studio-6 delivers deeper, punchier low-end and wider string spacing, while the 34-inch Studio-8 is slightly more compact for extended-range 8-string playing.
Are the pickups and electronics the same?
Both use dual EMG pickups, active 3-band EQ, and 18-volt systems, but the Studio-8 has 35HZ pickups while the Studio-6 FL has 45HZ pickups. The 45HZ is optimized for fretless warmth and articulation; the 35HZ supports aggressive extended-range clarity.
