Frequently asked questions
What's the actual difference in pickups between these two?
The 2775 uses EMG 40DC and 40P5 pickups with warm sustain and broad frequency response. The 2781 uses EMG 35DC and 35P4 pickups with sharper highs and commanding lows, paired with a 2-Band EQ and Blend control to shape tone actively. The 35-series are more focused and aggressive; the 40-series are more versatile and warm.
Does the carbon-fiber neck on the 2781 really matter for casual players?
Carbon-fiber reinforcement on the 2781 resists neck dive, maintains stability under tension and aggressive playing, and resists warping over time. For casual or beginner players using moderate technique, the standard 3-piece maple neck on the 2775 is perfectly adequate. It matters most for gigging, touring, or demanding styles like metal and progressive rock.
What are the B-stock cosmetic issues on each?
The 2775 has unspecified minor cosmetic imperfections but is fully playable. The 2781 is unplayed but has visible binding cracks at the fret wire ends—a common cosmetic issue that does not affect playability or tone. Both offer significant savings versus new condition.
Which is better for funk and studio work?
The 2775's warm sustain and versatile EMG 40-series pickups are naturally suited to funk's tonal range. The 2781's 2-Band EQ and articulate 35-series pickups let you dial in percussive or warm tones, making it equally capable but requiring more active tone shaping. Both excel in studio; choose based on whether you want set-and-forget warmth (2775) or sculptable aggression (2781).
