Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for beginners?
Neither is ideal for beginners. Both require intermediate to advanced skill and are designed for progressive metal and technical playing. The E-1 FR S SE's Sustainiac effects and PT-7's 7-string range add complexity that suits experienced players.
Can I get the E-1 FR S SE in a left-handed version?
The product description provided shows the E-1 FR S SE in right-handed configuration only. The PT-7 Multiscale is explicitly a left-handed model, making it the only left-handed option between these two.
What's the main tonal difference between the pickups?
The E-1 pairs a Schecter USA Apocalypse-VI bridge pickup with a Sustainiac neck pickup for harmonic layering and sustain effects. The PT-7 uses a single Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern-7 with three voicing modes for articulate clarity and tonal warmth without special sustain effects.
Which has better tuning stability?
The PT-7 Multiscale's Hipshot 7-string fixed bridge and multiscale design (varying string lengths) are engineered specifically for tuning stability across extended range. The E-1 FR S SE has carbon-reinforced construction for stability but uses a standard 6-string setup.
