Frequently asked questions
Which guitar has a thinner, lighter body?
The S1070PBZ is described as exceptionally lightweight with its multi-wood construction, while the TOD10 uses American Basswood with a standard body design. Both are premium instruments, but the S1070PBZ emphasizes ultra-responsive, lightweight playability.
What's the key difference in pickup electronics?
The S1070PBZ uses three separate DiMarzio pickups (Air Norton, True Velvet, Tone Zone) for tonal variety across positions. The TOD10 uses Fishman Fluence Tim Henson humbucker pickups with a push/pull voicing switch that unlocks multiple tonal personalities from fewer pickup types.
Which guitar is better for djent and modern metal?
The TOD10 is specifically designed for djent with its tight low-end response, articulate modern voicing, high-gain definition, and 25.5-inch scale optimized for articulation. The S1070PBZ leans more toward classic progressive rock and fusion with its emphasis on sustain and warmth.
Are these B-Stock units fully playable?
Yes, both B-Stock units have been professionally inspected. The S1070PBZ has minor cosmetic wear (finish dent and scratches at bridge cavity) with no impact on playability or tone. The TOD10 description confirms it is a legitimate B-Stock with standard professional inspection.
