Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal?
Both suit metal, but the Sunset-7 Triad is purpose-built for modern metal and djent with its 7-string configuration, 27-inch scale, and triple-coil bridge pickup. The PT Pro works well for traditional and progressive metal on a standard 6-string platform with coil-splitting for tonal variety.
What's the condition of the PT Pro, and does the fretboard crack matter?
The PT Pro is B-stock with a cosmetic fretboard crack that does not affect playability or tone, according to the description. It includes full manufacturer warranty, making it a discount option for players who don't mind minor cosmetic issues.
Which has better sustain and tuning stability?
The Sunset-7 uses a Schecter Diamond Hardtail Plus bridge for rock-solid tuning, while the PT Pro uses a PT-H bridge with string-thru body design and locking tuners. Both are designed for excellent sustain; the PT Pro's string-thru adds slight tonal advantage, while the Sunset-7's hardtail emphasizes direct transfer.
Can I play jazz or blues on either?
The Sunset-7 Triad is explicitly not ideal for jazz or blues due to its extended-range, metal-focused design and aggressive pickup pairing. The PT Pro is also not ideal for jazz or blues, as it's voiced for hard rock and metal, though its coil-splitting offers more tonal flexibility for clean tones.
