Frequently asked questions
Is the body crack on Product B a functional problem?
The description indicates a visible crack near the knobs documented in detail photos but does not specify if it affects structural integrity or playability. Buyers should inspect photos carefully and contact the retailer for structural assessment before purchasing.
Are the pickups and electronics the same on both guitars?
No. Product A has an EMG 81 in the bridge and EMG 85 in the neck; Product B reverses this with EMG 85 in the neck and EMG 81 in the bridge. Both deliver high-output aggression suitable for metal and hard rock, but the pickup order affects voicing slightly.
Which guitar is better for drop tunings?
Product B is explicitly listed as best for drop tunings. Both share the 24.625" scale and stable hardware, but Product B's description emphasizes its suitability for that application.
What is the visible damage on the B-stock unit?
Product B has a documented visible crack in the body near the knobs. Detailed photos are available, and the retailer can provide specifics on depth, location, and any impact on structural integrity.
