Frequently asked questions
Which guitar sustains longer?
The Arrow NT's neck-through construction delivers exceptional sustain compared to the EX/NT's set-thru design, making it better for sustained lead passages and harmonic clarity.
How do the pickups differ between these models?
The Arrow NT uses Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with push-pull voice switching for tonal variety; the EX/NT uses fixed EMG 60 (neck) and EMG 81 (bridge) pickups, which deliver straightforward high-output aggression without switching options.
