Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in neck design between these two guitars?
The Genesis Odin Grail features a balanced C-shape maple neck with graduated thickness (.83" to .96") designed for ergonomic consistency across all positions. The Barbarian Norse Dragon uses a thicker, more substantial Zakk 'C' profile neck that provides a commanding grip, appealing to players who prefer a beefier feel.

Both guitars use EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck pickups with independent volume controls and 3-way switching. The main difference is that the Barbarian Norse Dragon's high-tier construction and deep set-neck joint maximize the high-output, well-defined character of these pickups for heavy riffing and sustain.
Which guitar is better for drop tuning?
The Barbarian Norse Dragon is specifically listed as suited for drop tunings and features a deep set-neck insert joint that enhances sustain and resonance under demanding tuning conditions. While the Genesis Odin Grail is capable, the Barbarian Norse Dragon's premium construction makes it the purpose-built choice.
What does B-stock mean for the Genesis Odin Grail?
B-stock typically indicates the guitar may have minor cosmetic imperfections or was a floor model, but remains fully functional and professionally inspected. This designation allows the Genesis Odin Grail to be priced in the mid tier while offering full Zakk Wylde specifications and quality.
