Frequently asked questions
What is the main string-count and scale difference?
The Tao-7 has 7 strings and a 27" scale length to support lower tunings with tight tension. The Tao-6 LH has 6 strings and a standard 25.5" scale, better suited to traditional and alternate tunings without extreme drop-tuning demands.
Is the Tao-6 LH only for left-handed players?
Yes, the Tao-6 LH is built left-handed. The Tao-7 is right-handed. If you are left-handed and want 7 strings, this retailer does not offer that combination in these models.
How do the pickups and tones differ?
The Tao-7 uses a Colossus-7 neck and ChaosBreaker-7 bridge pickup pair engineered for 7-string saturation and articulation. The Tao-6 LH pairs Colossus and Chaosbreaker (6-string versions) for warm lows and articulate highs with balanced harmonic definition. Both offer coil-split flexibility.
Which is better for djent and drop tunings?
The Tao-7 is purpose-built for djent with its 27" scale and 7-string extended range, delivering tight low-end articulation. The Tao-6 LH can handle alternate and drop tunings but is better suited to standard and half-step down contexts.
