Reviews
At a Glance
The BK-600 is a workhorse recording guitar for producers and engineers tracking heavy music—its set-thru construction and Mojotone Hellbender pickups capture articulate, high-output tones that sit cleanly in dense mixes while the split-coil push/pull controls add textural flexibility for layering. The 24.75-inch scale and thin-U mahogany neck make for fast tracking sessions, and the locking hardware ensures stability across multiple takes and overdubs. B-Stock cosmetic imperfections don't affect the recording quality, making this an excellent value for studio sessions in metal, progressive, and hard-rock production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and how does it affect playability or tone?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—it plays and sounds identical to a new unit. No defects in construction, electronics, or hardware; only superficial finish marks or dings. You receive the same build quality at a lower price.
Is the BK-600 suitable for genres outside metal and hard rock?
The BK-600 is optimized for metal, hard rock, and progressive music and is not designed for folk, jazz, or country styles. While its articulate cleans can work in other contexts, the high-output humbuckers and overall voicing are tailored for heavy, aggressive playing.
What pickup switching options does the split-coil control offer?
The Mojotone Hellbender humbuckers feature push/pull split-coil switching on both the bridge volume and neck tone controls, allowing you to split either humbucker into single-coil mode for tonal variety without a traditional pickup selector.
How does the set-thru construction affect sustain and neck access?
Set-thru construction means the neck extends through the body, delivering superior sustain and more stable tuning. It also provides easier access to upper frets—critical for progressive and technical metal playing.
What is included in the box?
The BK-600 ships with a form-fit EC guitar case, D'Addario XL110 strings (.010–.046), and the guitar itself. Strap buttons are installed; a strap is not included.
