Frequently asked questions
Are these two guitars identical except for handedness?
Yes. Both feature 27-inch baritone scale, neck-through construction, extra-thin maple neck, compound radius ebony fingerboard, EMG 81 bridge and 60TW-R neck pickups with push-pull coil-split, mahogany body with maple cap, and locking tuners for tuning stability in extended tunings.
What tuning range do these baritones handle?
The 27-inch scale is designed for B standard tuning (B-E-A-D-F#-B) and lower without compromising sustain or playability. The extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and compound radius fingerboard accommodate both speed work and heavy lower-register voicings.
Are these suitable for beginners?
No. Both are rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional skill levels. The baritone scale, extended tunings, and aggressive tone shaping demand experience with lower-register technique and precision intonation.
Can I switch between styles like metal and jazz with these?
These are purpose-built for metal and progressive rock. The EMG pickups and baritone voicing favor heavy, articulate tones; jazz and folk genres are listed as poor fits for both models.
