Frequently asked questions

What's the actual difference in specs between these two guitars?

There is no difference. Both feature the same neck-through 7-piece laminate, ultra-thin C profile, 25.5-inch scale, 24 stainless steel X-jumbo frets, dual Schecter Brimstone-6 and Sustainiac pickups, Floyd Rose 1500 bridge, and TonePros tuners. Tone and playability are identical.

What does B-Stock mean and will it affect performance?

B-Stock means the unit has minor cosmetic marks—scratches, dings, or finish imperfections—but zero impact on playability, tone, or function. It carries the full manufacturer warranty just like a new instrument.

Are these guitars suitable for gigging and touring musicians?

Yes. Both are built for touring and studio work with rock-solid Floyd Rose tuning stability, ergonomic neck access, and versatile high-output tone ideal for metal, hard rock, and progressive music at intermediate, advanced, and professional skill levels.

Will the moisture-resistant Richlite fingerboard withstand heavy playing?

Yes. Richlite is specifically chosen for road and studio durability, resisting moisture and wear far better than traditional rosewood or fretboard materials, making it ideal for aggressive playing techniques and extended touring use.
