Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for standard drop D or drop C tuning?
The Przym Vespid works fine for drop D and drop C on six strings. The Apocalypse targets much lower tunings using all seven strings, making it the better choice if you need extended-range drop tunings below standard six-string capability.
What does B-stock mean for the Przym Vespid?
B-stock indicates cosmetic imperfections only—the electronics, frets, and hardware are identical to new units. The guitar performs professionally despite visual blemishes, offering the same tone and playability at a reduced price.
How do the neck profiles compare?
Both feature a thin 'C' profile to reduce hand fatigue. The Apocalypse measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th; the Przym Vespid measures 20mm at the first fret and 22mm at the 12th—nearly identical proportions for comparable comfort.
Which pickup system offers more tonal variety for high-gain metal?
The Przym Vespid's Fishman Fluence with push-pull voice switching lets you select alternate tones on the fly during performance. The Apocalypse's Sustainiac system focuses more on harmonic sustain and texture generation rather than traditional voice variety.
