Frequently asked questions
Which is better for drop tunings and heavy metal?
The Arrow excels here due to its 25.5" scale length, which maintains tight string tension in drop tunings, plus the Floyd Rose Original and neck-thru construction for maximum sustain and tuning stability during aggressive play.
Which guitar is easier to play high on the fretboard?
The Eclipse QM's set-thru construction and 22 frets provide more comfortable upper-fret access than the Arrow's neck-thru design, making it better for fast lead passages in the upper register.
How do the pickup systems differ?
Both use Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with dual-voice capability, but the Arrow switches voices via pull-volume controls while the Eclipse uses a push-pull tone control and toggle switch for more explicit switching between high-gain and clean tones.
What is the significance of the B-Stock rating on the Eclipse?
B-Stock typically indicates minor cosmetic damage or open-box condition with full functionality; the Eclipse QM offers professional-grade specs and tone at a reduced price compared to new inventory.
