Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal?
The John Browne Tao-6 is purpose-built for metal with high-output USA pickups, ultra-thin neck for speed, and tight tonal control. The E-1 Electro-Resin's warm, balanced tone and semi-hollow body make it unsuitable for metal.
Which has a faster neck for soloing?
The John Browne Tao-6 features an ultra-thin 0.748" U-profile neck at the 1st fret, designed specifically for speed and minimal hand fatigue. The E-1's thin 'C' profile is comfortable but not optimized for shredding.
What's the tonal difference between the pickups?
The E-1 uses Seymour Duncan '78 humbuckers voiced for clarity and articulation with single-coil options via coil split, suited to blues and rock. The Tao-6 uses high-output USA Colossus bridge and Chaosbreaker neck pickups designed for aggressive, dynamic metal and progressive tones.
Which guitar is more visually striking?
The E-1 Electro-Resin features a distinctive resin-filled fractal finish on flamed maple that catches light unusually. The Tao-6 offers an Ozone Burst finish over flamed maple veneer, which is professional and stage-ready but more conventional.
