Frequently asked questions
Can the 6-string handle folk or acoustic-style playing?
The Stargazer-6 is designed for rock, hard rock, and blues—not folk. Its tone is built for articulate, full-bodied electric tones rather than the warm, resonant character folk typically requires. The Stargazer-12 is explicitly designed for folk-influenced work.
Is the 12-string too heavy or fatiguing for long sets?
The thin C-profile neck and deep insert joint are specifically designed to reduce finger fatigue during extended playing. Both guitars share this comfort feature, but the 12-string's doubled strings require slightly more finger pressure overall.
Which one is better for metal or hard rock?
The Stargazer-6 is rated best for rock and hard rock and features humbuckers optimized for high-gain. The Stargazer-12 is not ideal for metal or hard rock due to its bright, jangly character and 12-string resonance, which obscure the clarity needed for extreme genres.
Do both have coil-split capability?
Yes, both guitars feature push-pull coil-split switches for tonal flexibility. However, the 6-string uses independent volume controls for each pickup to maximize versatility, while the 12-string uses the split primarily to move between bright and thick voicings.
