Frequently asked questions
What's the difference in condition between these two B-stock units?
Unit 0436 has only minor cosmetic surface marks and is fully playable. Unit 2501 is unplayed overall but has fret cracking from the 3rd to 12th fret that requires professional repair before it can be played reliably.
Are the pickups, neck, and hardware identical?
Yes. Both feature EMG 81/60 configuration, ultra-thin U-profile neck with carbon fiber rods, 24 X-Jumbo frets on 14-inch radius ebony fretboard, Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod tremolo, mahogany body with flamed maple top, and 25.5-inch scale.
Which one should I choose for metal and technical playing?
Unit 0436 is ready immediately for metal and drop-tuning work. Unit 2501 requires fret dressing or replacement first, which adds cost and downtime before you can use it for aggressive playing.
How much would fret repair typically cost for unit 2501?
Professional fret work on 10 frets ranges from 200 to 600 dollars depending on severity and your luthier's rates—potentially eliminating any B-stock savings compared to unit 0436.
