Frequently asked questions
What's the actual difference in fretboard material and how does it affect tone?
The PT FR has a maple fretboard; the standard FR has rosewood. Maple is brighter and more articulate, while rosewood adds warmth and midrange character. Both have a 14-inch radius and 1.625-inch nut width, so playability feel is similar.
Does the two-fret difference matter for metal playing?
The standard FR's 24 X-Jumbo frets give significantly more upper-fretboard real estate for shredding and extended techniques. The PT FR's 22 jumbo frets are still professional-grade but offer slightly less reach, though most players find the difference minimal in standard tunings.
How do alder and mahogany bodies differ for high-gain tones?
Alder delivers snappy, punchy response with clarity across the frequency range, favored in thrash and traditional hard rock. Mahogany provides deeper sustain and midrange warmth, making it the preferred choice for modern metal, djent, and progressive styles that rely on aggressive EQ and high-gain amp settings.
What cosmetic issues should I expect with these B-stock units?
The PT FR has minor cosmetic marks on the fretboard itself; the standard FR has a minor finish crack in the neck pocket area. Both are fully playable and functional; the cosmetic difference is purely visual and does not affect performance or tone.
