Frequently asked questions
Are these guitars identical in hardware and electronics?
Yes. Both feature Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo, EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60 neck pickups, 24 X-Jumbo frets on ebony fretboard, 25.5" scale, mahogany body with flamed maple top, and 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods.
What exactly is the damage on the Red B-stock unit?
A finish crack at the pickup selector screw area—described as purely cosmetic and non-structural, with no impact on function or playability.
Are these suitable for beginner players?
No. Both are rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional skill levels. The thin neck profile, high-output EMGs, and Floyd Rose tremolo are designed for experienced players comfortable with active pickups and floating bridge maintenance.
