Frequently asked questions
What is B-Stock and why is Product B cheaper?
B-Stock typically refers to open-box, returned, or cosmetically imperfect inventory. Both guitars have identical specs and playability; Product B may have minor cosmetic blemishes but functions identically to Product A.
Are the tone and playability differences between these models significant?
No. Both use the same mahogany body, maple neck, roasted jatoba fingerboard, 24 extra-jumbo frets, ESP LH-301B pickup, Floyd Rose Special bridge, and locking nut. Product A emphasizes warm articulation; Product B emphasizes cutting clarity—both deliver aggressive metal tones.
Who should buy the new Alexi-200 versus the B-Stock version?
Buy Product A if you prioritize new condition, full warranty coverage, and pristine aesthetics. Buy Product B if you're an intermediate to advanced player on a budget who accepts potential minor cosmetic imperfections for professional-grade playability.
Will either guitar work for drop tunings and thrash metal?
Yes. Both feature the same locking nut, Floyd Rose Special bridge, and thin U-neck designed specifically for drop-tuning aggression and rapid shredding across extreme genres.
