Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for standard tuning and traditional metal?
The Avenger FR-S works well in standard tuning with its 25.5-inch scale and full feature set. The Meegs PT is engineered around extended range and drop tunings, so its 27.5-inch scale and tighter string tension are optimized for lower pitches.
Do I need tremolo, or is hardtail bridge enough?
The Floyd Rose on the Avenger enables dive bombs, pitch bends, and vibrato effects. The Meegs hardtail locks tuning without maintenance but offers no pitch-shifting capability—choose based on whether tremolo effects are essential to your style.
Which has better sustain?
The Avenger's Sustainiac neck pickup generates infinite sustain and harmonic feedback through an active circuit, making it unmatched for sustained tones. The Meegs PT offers excellent sustain through set-neck-style resonance via its ash body and hardtail bridge, but without infinite sustain capability.
Are these both B-stock or new condition?
The Avenger FR-S is specifically listed as B-Stock (cosmetic imperfections, full functionality). The Meegs PT description does not indicate B-stock status, suggesting it may be new or a different condition tier—confirm with the store.
