Frequently asked questions
Which guitar has more strings?
The Reaper-7 Elite Multiscale has 7 strings, while the C-1 HT S SLS Elite Evil Twin has 6 strings. The 7-string extends lower and is standard in modern metal and djent.
What is the Sustainiac and why would I want it?
The Sustainiac on the C-1 is an active pickup that sustains and generates harmonic feedback modes without needing extreme amplifier volume. It's ideal for ambient, experimental, and progressive metal textures.
What does multiscale fretboard mean on the Reaper-7?
Multiscale means the frets are fanned at an angle, with shorter scale length near the treble side (25.5") and longer near the bass side (27"). This naturally balances tension across all 7 strings and makes complex chords more ergonomic.
Which is better for traditional heavy metal—6-string or 7-string?
Both excel at metal; the choice depends on whether you want classic 6-string tone and effects (C-1) or lower tuning range and extended range capability (Reaper-7). Modern djent and progressive metal favors 7-strings.
