Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for standard tuning and blues-influenced playing?
Neither is ideal for those styles. Both are engineered for aggressive metal and progressive applications. The PT-7 lists folk, country, and worship as not ideal; the Banshee lists blues and jazz as not ideal. For those genres, a different instrument would suit you better.
What is the main playability difference between these two?
The PT-7 features an Ultra Thin "C" neck and 26.5" scale, while the Banshee has an ultra-thin "U" neck and 25.5" scale. The "C" profile is typically rounder; the "U" profile is faster and more scooped. The longer scale on the PT-7 provides more string tension and clarity in drop tunings.
Can I use both guitars in drop tunings?
Yes, both are designed for drop tunings. The PT-7's 26.5" scale and Sustainiac generate infinite sustain for textural experimentation, while the Banshee's Evertune bridge ensures flawless intonation stability under aggressive bending and picking in low tunings.
Which pickup configuration offers more tonal versatility?
The PT-7 combines a Fishman Fluence Modern bridge humbucker with a Sustainiac neck pickup, enabling articulate high-gain tones plus experimental infinite sustain and feedback modes. The Banshee uses dual Lundgren M6 pickups voiced for tight, muscular aggression without the feedback synthesis feature.
