Frequently asked questions
Which one is better for left-handed players?
Only the Black Cherry Burst is left-handed. The Charcoal B-Stock is right-handed only.
How do the pickups and electronics differ?
The Charcoal uses Heretic-8 humbuckers with a simple three-control layout (master volume, tone, 5-way switch) for a direct signal path. The Black Cherry Burst uses Diamond Heretic pickups with an additional Grip Tip Speed Knobs feature for real-time adjustments during performance.
Are the scale lengths different?
Yes. The Charcoal spans 25.5" to 27", while the Black Cherry Burst extends 25.5" to 27.5", providing slightly more accommodation for aggressive drop tunings and lower fundamental frequencies.
What's the price difference and why?
The Charcoal is listed as B-stock, meaning it may have minor cosmetic imperfections but is fully functional and sold at a discount. The Black Cherry Burst appears to be new inventory with premium hardware (Hipshot bridge, Graph Tech nut) justifying a mid-tier price.
