Frequently asked questions
What is the key difference in string count and scale?
The Tao-7 has seven strings and a 27-inch scale to support extended range and ultra-low tunings with articulate response. The Tao-6 LH has six strings and a 25.5-inch scale, the standard for traditional and progressive 6-string playing.
Which one should I choose if I only play standard tuning?
The Tao-6 LH is the better fit for standard tuning since a 25.5-inch scale is industry standard for 6-strings. The Tao-7's 27-inch scale is engineered for extended-range and lower tunings where its advantage becomes apparent.
Can left-handed players use the Tao-7?
The specifications provided only confirm that the Tao-6 LH is a left-handed model; the Tao-7 description does not specify left-handed availability. Verify with the retailer if a left-handed Tao-7 exists before deciding.
How do the pickups and tones differ?
The Tao-7 pairs Colossus-7 neck with ChaosBreaker-7 bridge for saturated high-gain and thick cleans optimized for metal. The Tao-6 LH pairs Colossus bridge with Chaosbreaker neck, offering articulate high-end and warm lows with versatile single-coil to humbucker flexibility. Both have coil-split capability but serve different tonal priorities.
