Frequently asked questions
Which guitar has a faster, more comfortable neck for lead playing?
The Sunset-6 Extreme features the thinnest neck profile at 0.748" at the 1st fret versus the PT Pro's standard thin 'C' shape, making position changes and extended-range playing marginally faster. Both are modern fast-necks suited to advanced players.
What is the main tonal difference between these two guitars?
The Sunset-6 Extreme uses a hybrid single-coil/humbucker setup for articulate, balanced tones across rock and metal. The PT Pro uses dual humbuckers with coil-splitting, emphasizing thick rhythm voicings and soaring lead tones with extended range.
Why is the PT Pro B-stock priced lower, and does it affect quality?
The PT Pro is B-stock with a noted cosmetic fretboard crack that does not affect playability or tone. It carries full manufacturer warranty, so the discount reflects cosmetic damage only, not structural or sonic compromise.
Which fretboard material and radius suits fast lead work better?
The Sunset-6 Extreme has a 16" radius ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets for ultra-smooth bending and fast articulation. The PT Pro offers a 14" flatter radius on roasted maple with 22 X-Jumbo frets, favoring aggressive technique and string bending across a wider fretboard width.
