Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in string count and scale?
The Alexi Laiho Arrowhead is a 6-string guitar with a 25.5-inch scale tuned for standard or dropped tunings. The SC-607B is a 7-string baritone with a 27-inch scale designed for lower, extended-range tunings like drop-B and below.
Which guitar has more pickup versatility?
The SC-607B offers three active Fishman Fluence SRC modes (clean, mid-forward, high-gain) without switching guitars. The Arrowhead has a single passive EMG HZ F-H2 with volume control, suited to high-gain metal work but less tonal variation.
Which is better for speed and technical playing?
The Alexi Laiho Arrowhead features scalloped frets 19–24 and a razor-thin U-shaped neck optimized for rapid position shifts and tapping. The SC-607B has a standard 24-fret ebony board with a thin U-neck, excellent for speed but without the scalloped advantage.
Are both B-Stock guitars cosmetically or functionally compromised?
Both are B-Stock units with only minor cosmetic marks that do not affect playability, tone, or structural integrity. The Arrowhead has light scratches at the upper horn and control area; the SC-607B's specific cosmetic notes are not detailed but follow the same B-Stock standard.
