Frequently asked questions
Which guitar holds tuning better?
The Granite Sparkle model with Evertune F-model bridge automatically compensates for string tension fluctuations, eliminating tuning drift even under demanding conditions. The BB model uses a traditional locking TOM bridge, which is reliable but requires manual tuning adjustments if string tension changes significantly.
What's the difference in pickup voicing options?
The MH-1000NT BB has Fishman Modern Humbuckers with 3-voice designs controlled via central push/pull controls. The Granite Sparkle has Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with independent push/pull controls on each pickup, offering more granular tone-shaping with separate vintage and modern voicing options.
Are there visual or finish differences?
The BB comes in Black Satin with bold binding and features a Macassar ebony fingerboard. The Granite Sparkle has a flamed maple top visible through its sparkle finish, creating more visual appeal and tonal density through the thicker decorative top.
Which is better for metal and drop tunings?
The Granite Sparkle MH-1000NT is specifically engineered for drop tunings and extreme playing conditions with its Evertune bridge that prevents tuning drift. The BB is versatile and capable but requires more manual tuning maintenance in non-standard tunings.
