Frequently asked questions
What's the fret-count difference and does it matter?
The PT FR has 22 jumbo frets while the FR has 24 X-jumbo frets. The extra frets on the FR provide more access to upper registers for drop-tuned riffing; the PT FR's 22 frets are sufficient for standard-to-extended ranges with an emphasis on bending and expressiveness.
How do the body woods affect tone?
The PT FR's alder body produces punchy, articulate tones with midrange clarity; the FR's mahogany body delivers tighter lows and scooped mids favored in djent and high-gain applications. Alder is brighter and more versatile; mahogany is darker and more aggressive.
Are these guitars suitable for drop tunings?
Both handle drop tunings, but the FR is specifically optimized for them with 24 frets, mahogany body mass, and a more aggressive voicing. The PT FR works in extended ranges and drop tunings but leans toward smoother, more expressive playing.
What cosmetic defects come with these B-stock units?
The PT FR has minor cosmetic marks on the fretboard; the FR has a minor cosmetic finish crack in the neck pocket. Both are fully structural and tonal intact with no playability impact.
