Frequently asked questions
Which guitar has the thinner neck?
The Sunset-6 Triad has the thinner neck at 0.748" at the 1st fret compared to the PT Pro's unspecified thin C-shape. The Sunset-6 is optimized for speed and comfort in high registers.
What's the key difference in pickup configuration?
The Sunset-6 uses a triple-coil bridge and single-coil neck pickup controlled by a standard 5-way switch, while the PT Pro uses two humbuckers with push-pull coil-splitting on both volume and tone knobs for four-position voicing per knob. The PT Pro offers more tonal flexibility through coil-splitting.
Why is the PT Pro priced lower if it's B-stock?
The PT Pro is a B-stock unit with a cosmetic fretboard crack that does not affect playability or tone. It retains full manufacturer warranty and is priced lower to reflect the cosmetic blemish.
Which guitar suits blues better?
The Sunset-6 Triad is explicitly rated best for blues with its warm, resonant tone and articulate cleans, while the PT Pro is not recommended for blues. The Sunset-6's single-coil neck pickup provides the articulation blues players typically prefer.
