Frequently asked questions
Are the pickups, neck, and fretboard identical on both?
Yes. Both feature USA Pasadena neck and Pasadena Plus bridge humbuckers, thin 'C' mahogany necks with 22 X-Jumbo frets, 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboards, TonePros bridges, and push-pull coil tapping.
What is the main difference between these two guitars?
Finish and hardware only. Aged Black Satin has aged crème binding and gold hardware; Trans Black Burst has flamed maple top visibility, white binding, and chrome hardware.
Will one finish show wear or age differently?
The Aged Black Satin is already aged in appearance and will show patina subtly over time. Trans Black Burst will develop its own patina but will show fingerprints and dust more readily on the glossy burst.
Which is better for rock or studio work?
Both are equally suitable for rock and studio sessions. Your choice should depend on aesthetic preference and what finish matches your stage presence or studio aesthetic.
