Frequently asked questions
What's the practical difference between 34" and 35" scale?
The 35" scale on the Pro EX delivers tighter, more articulate low-end response and extended sustain ideal for studio tracking. The 34" scale on the Stiletto-4 reduces hand stretch, making it more comfortable for extended live performance and touring.
Are the pickups and EQ identical between these two?
Both feature the same EMG MMCS bridge and EMG P neck pickup setup with a 2-band active EQ. The main difference is the Pro EX's metal dome knobs offer a slightly more refined tactile interface compared to the Stiletto-4's standard controls.
Which is better for funk and progressive styles?
Both excel in funk and progressive work. The Stiletto-4 prioritizes punchy attack and articulate mids in a lighter package, while the Pro EX emphasizes responsive low-end control and sustain for complex, layered passages.
How do the fretboards and neck shapes compare?
Both feature a thin C-profile mahogany neck with maple stringers, carbon fiber rods, Indian ebony fretboard, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and 16" radius. The core construction is identical; the playability difference stems from the scale length variation.
