Frequently asked questions
Which is better for metal?
Both excel at metal. The Arrow NT offers a tighter, more aggressive voicing with extra-jumbo frets for speed; the Eclipse provides articulate, controlled tones with coil-splitting and a shorter scale that suits traditional metal techniques. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize extreme speed (Arrow NT) or traditional feel (Eclipse).
What's the main construction difference?
The Arrow NT uses neck-thru-body construction with a hard maple neck, which maximizes sustain and stability. The Eclipse uses set-thru construction with a mahogany neck, which joins the neck through the body but allows the warmer tonal character of mahogany to resonate more freely.
How do the scales and playability compare?
The Arrow NT has a 25.5" scale with 24 extra-jumbo frets on a thin U contour, ideal for lead work and speed. The Eclipse has a shorter 24.75" scale with 22 frets, offering a more traditional, ergonomic feel between classic and modern specs.
Are the pickups comparable?
Both feature active pickups with dual voicing. The Fishman Fluence Modern pickups on the Arrow NT offer alnico and ceramic voicings for tonal breadth. The EMG 57TW and 66TW on the Eclipse provide tight, articulate tones with coil-splitting for modern metal clarity.
