Frequently asked questions
Are these guitars identical except for hand orientation?
Nearly identical in core construction and pickups, but the standard model features a Sustainiac circuit with harmonic-switching modes, while the LH model has standard EMG 81/85 pickups without that switching functionality. Both use mahogany bodies, set-neck construction, Floyd Rose Special bridges, and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 25.5" scale.
What's the difference between the EMG setups?
The standard model pairs EMG 81 bridge with EMG 85 Sustainiac neck pickup and includes dedicated 2-way and 3-way mode switching (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) powered by a double 9-volt battery. The LH model uses standard EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck pickups with standard volume/tone controls and dual 9-volt batteries.
Is the B-stock standard model a good value?
B-stock typically means minor cosmetic imperfections with no functional defects. Since both guitars are mid-price tier and share the same core specs, the B-stock standard model may offer savings if hand orientation matches your needs and cosmetics don't concern you.
Which is better for metal and djent?
Both are engineered specifically for metal, progressive rock, and djent with high-output EMG pickups, Floyd Rose Special bridges, and tight sustain. The standard model's Sustainiac circuit adds harmonic-switching versatility for lead work, while the LH model emphasizes a punchy, tight low end—choose based on hand orientation and whether you value harmonic switching.
