Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference in string count and scale design?
The C-7 Multiscale is a seven-string guitar with a multiscale fretboard that slopes from 27" bass side to 25.5" treble side, optimizing tension across all strings. The C-1 50th Anniversary is a traditional six-string guitar with a standard 25.5" scale length throughout, simplifying setup and playability for conventional tuning.
Which guitar is better for extended-range metal and djent?
The C-7 Multiscale is purpose-built for djent and technical progressive metal, featuring a seven-string configuration, ultra-thin neck for speed, switchable Fishman Fluence pickups, and multiscale fretboard tension balancing. The C-1 is optimized for traditional rock and metal but uses a conventional six-string layout and does not include switchable voices.
Why does the C-1 specifically mention left-handed configuration?
The C-1 50th Anniversary LH is explicitly designed for left-handed players, mirroring all controls, tuning machines, and bridge orientation for proper left-hand operation. The C-7 Multiscale description does not specify handedness, suggesting it is available in right-handed configuration.
How do the pickups and tone-shaping differ between the two?
The C-7 features dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups with push-pull switchable voices on volume and tone knobs, allowing tonal variation within one pickup configuration. The C-1 uses Sunset Strip bridge and Pasadena Classic neck pickups without switchable voices, delivering fixed articulate highs and muscular lows suitable for rock and progressive play.
