Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for the lowest tunings?
The BB-600 with its 27-inch baritone scale is purpose-built for extended low tunings and will deliver thicker, more articulate lows than the SD-2's standard 24.75-inch scale.
What's the main tone difference between these two?
The BB-600 offers versatility with dual pickups and active EQ for warm to aggressive tones, while the SD-2 features a single high-output metal-voiced pickup designed for relentless aggression and clarity in heavy contexts.
Which is easier to keep in tune during aggressive playing?
The SD-2's Floyd Rose 1000 SE double-locking tremolo system is engineered for tuning stability during intense vibrato work, whereas the BB-600 uses a more traditional bridge system suited to stable, standard playing.
Is B-Stock on the SD-2 a significant savings?
Yes, B-Stock typically indicates minor cosmetic imperfections with no impact on playability or tone, making the SD-2 a better value if the metal-focused single-pickup design fits your needs.
