Frequently asked questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock typically indicates a guitar with minor cosmetic defects, return-shop inventory, or display models—all electronics and hardware function identically to new units. The playability and sound are not affected.
What skill level is this guitar for?
Both units are designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The thin U-contour neck, 22 extra-jumbo frets, and Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo suit experienced players comfortable with fast riffing and whammy bar techniques.
What genres work best with this guitar?
Thrash metal, metal, and hard rock are the primary targets thanks to the high-output LH-301 pickups and mahogany body's warm sustain. It handles drop tunings well but is not designed for jazz, folk, or country tones.
Is there a tonal difference between the two?
No. Both models share identical dual ESP LH-301 direct-mount pickups, coil-split functionality, mahogany construction, and Floyd Rose 1000 hardware, so tone and electronics are completely the same.
