Frequently asked questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock typically indicates the guitar has cosmetic blemishes, minor finish imperfections, or was returned/display merchandise, but the electronics, neck, and playability are identical to new condition. The guitar is fully functional.
Are the pickups and electronics the same on both?
Yes, both feature hand-wound Lundgren M7 humbucking pickups, 3-way toggle, mini-switch coil-split, and Hipshot bridge and tuners. Tone and playability are identical.
Who should buy the B-Stock version?
Players prioritizing value over cosmetics, gigging musicians who expect road wear, and those who value the savings more than having pristine finish. The instrument plays and sounds exactly the same.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and djent?
Yes, both versions are purpose-built for aggressive genres with extended range. The articulate, high-output tone, tight low end, and 7-string configuration make them ideal for metal, djent, and progressive music.
