Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings and djent?
The Arrow-1007B is purpose-built for drop tunings with its 27-inch baritone scale and EverTune bridge that maintains intonation stability in extended tunings. The Hexed's 25.5-inch scale and Floyd Rose are optimized for standard and aggressive tunings on a 6-string.
Is the Hexed only for left-handed players?
Yes, the Alexi Laiho Hexed is specifically designed as a left-handed instrument. The Arrow-1007B is a standard right-handed configuration.
What's the main tonal difference between these two?
The Hexed delivers a crisp, articulate voice with tight sustain optimized for cutting through dense mixes on 6 strings. The Arrow-1007B emphasizes extended low-end articulation and controlled aggression across seven strings, suited to deeper baritone tunings.
Which offers more playability range for different styles within metal?
The Arrow-1007B's 7-string range and baritone scale provide more harmonic flexibility for progressive and djent styles. The Hexed is laser-focused on 6-string extreme metal techniques like diving and tapping.
