Frequently asked questions
What's the main construction difference?
The 1341 uses a 3-piece mahogany neck with single carbon fiber reinforcement, while the 1351 uses 3-piece hard maple with two carbon fiber rods. Hard maple with dual rods resists twisting more aggressively and suits heavier tuning systems or players seeking absolute stability.
How do the pickups differ tonally?
Both use Lundgren Black Heaven pickups, but the 1351's open-coil construction explicitly preserves clarity across the extended range, making it brighter and more articulate. The 1341's configuration delivers standard high-output aggression without that open-coil refinement.
Which is better for a player stepping up from 6-string?
The 1351 is rated for intermediate to advanced players, making it more forgiving during the transition. The 1341 targets advanced and professional players exclusively, assuming prior 7-string experience and drop-tuning fluency.
Will either sound muddy in very low tunings?
The 1351's open-coil pickup and harder maple neck are engineered to maintain definition in drop tunings. The 1341 remains articulate but relies more on technique and amp settings to prevent mud in extreme drops.
