Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two baritones?
The MH-1000B is right-handed with a solid body, while the M-1000B Lefty is left-handed with an arched mahogany body and maple cap. Both share the same 27-inch baritone scale, EMG pickups, and neck-thru construction, but serve different player orientations.
Why is the MH-1000B cheaper if it's B-Stock?
B-Stock means the unit has only minor cosmetic imperfections but is fully functional. It's the same professional-grade instrument at a reduced price, making it excellent value for right-handed buyers.
Are the pickups and electronics identical?
Yes, both feature EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60TW-R neck pickups with coil-splitting via push/pull tone control, delivering the same articulate aggression and tonal flexibility for metal and djent.
Which has better sustain and structural integrity?
Both use neck-thru construction for maximum sustain. The M-1000B adds a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design for enhanced tonal transfer, while the MH-1000B relies on its solid body for resonance.
