Frequently asked questions
Which guitar holds tuning better during aggressive drop-tuning sessions?
The M-1007B's Evertune bridge actively corrects string-to-string intonation and maintains stability through tuning changes, environmental shifts, and heavy playing. The SCT-607B uses a locking TOM with locking tuners, which is reliable but requires manual retuning if you frequently change tunings.
How do the pickup options differ between these two baritones?
The M-1007B has Fishman Modern Hum pickups (Alnico 3-Voice neck, Ceramic 3-Voice bridge) for articulate clarity and versatile gain range. The SCT-607B features Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups with push-pull voice selection offering three tonal palettes, including Stephen Carpenter's midrange-tweaked signature character.
Are these guitars suitable for players new to baritone guitars?
Both are designed for advanced and professional players operating in extended-range metal and progressive contexts. Neither is marketed as beginner-friendly; both require experience with 7-string instruments and aggressive tuning schemes to justify their high price tier and specialized features.
What's the practical difference in bridge design between these models?
The M-1007B's Evertune bridge automatically compensates for intonation and sustain across all strings, eliminating common baritone tuning issues. The SCT-607B's TonePros locking TOM with string-thru-body is a conventional high-quality bridge that delivers traditional tone but requires manual bridge adjustments for tuning stability.
