Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for standard tunings?
The Iron Cross with its 24.75-inch scale is optimized for standard and traditional drop tunings. The SC-607B's 27-inch baritone scale is engineered for lower tunings like B or A and delivers reduced string tension in those ranges.
How do the pickup systems differ?
The Iron Cross features EMG JH SET active pickups with a simple Vol/Vol/Tone layout for immediate tonal control focused on clarity and sustain. The SC-607B's Fishman Fluence SRC pickups provide multiple voicing options through push/pull volume control, offering greater tonal versatility across studio and live settings.
What is the scale length difference and why does it matter?
The Iron Cross has a 24.75-inch scale; the SC-607B has a 27-inch baritone scale. Extended scale length reduces string tension at lower tunings and accommodates larger fret spacing, making the SC-607B ideal for downtuned playing while the Iron Cross suits standard and drop tunings.
Is the SC-607B's B-stock status a concern?
B-stock typically means the item has minor cosmetic damage or is a display model but functions fully. Confirm specific condition details with the retailer before purchase if appearance or previous handling matters to you.
