Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for jazz?
The AMH90CRF is purpose-built for jazz with its semi-hollowbody design, warm tone, feedback control, and shorter 628mm scale that favors jazz voicings and chord work. The AZ24S2's solid body and aggressive voice suit rock and metal better.
Which guitar has more tonal versatility?
The AMH90CRF's tri-sound switch gives three distinct voicings (series, parallel, single-coil) in one pickup configuration. The AZ24S2 offers the dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch for modern tonal shaping, but both are versatile within their respective genres.
What is the main playability difference?
The AMH90CRF has a shorter 628mm scale with a narrower 43mm nut, favoring fingerstyle and jazz technique. The AZ24S2 has a standard 25.5-inch scale with a wider string spacing (10.5mm), better suited for lead work, alternate tunings, and extended technique.
Why are these B-stock and what does that mean?
B-stock units are unplayed or lightly played instruments with only minor cosmetic blemishes, offering significant value while maintaining full functionality and build quality. Both instruments meet the store's exact standards despite their cosmetic condition.
