Frequently asked questions
Which is better for metal?
Both excel at metal. The SN-1000HT suits traditional metal, thrash, and prog in standard-to-drop-D tunings. The SN-1007HT is purpose-built for modern metal, djent, and extreme tunings where its baritone scale and seven strings define the sound.
What's the real difference in playability between the 6 and 7-string?
The SN-1000HT has a simpler 22-fret, standard 6-string layout with compound radius 300-400mm. The SN-1007HT adds a seventh string and 24 extra-jumbo frets with a compound radius of 11.8-15.7 inches, designed for thicker strings and lower tensions on the baritone scale.
Do both have the same pickups?
Both use Fishman Fluence Modern pickups with push-pull voicing splits. The SN-1000HT pairs ceramic bridge with alnico neck; the SN-1007HT reverses it (alnico neck, ceramic bridge), tuned for the fuller low-end demands of seven-string baritone.
Is the B-Stock SN-1000HT a significant discount?
B-Stock typically indicates cosmetic flaws or open-box returns with full functionality. Since both are listed at the same mid price tier, verify the exact discount on the SN-1000HT before assuming savings; the SN-1007HT's additional string and hardware may justify its price regardless.
