Frequently asked questions
What is the main construction difference?
The C-1 SLS Custom features neck-thru construction, which routes the neck wood through the body for superior sustain and resonance. The AM-6 uses bolt-on construction, where the neck is attached via bolts, making it easier to service and typically more affordable.
How do the pickups and controls differ?
The C-1 SLS has dual Fishman Fluence pickups with push-pull coil-split and secondary humbucker voicing for extensive tonal shaping. The AM-6 uses Schecter USA Solstice and Equinox pickups controlled via a standard 5-way switch with volume and tone knobs, offering straightforward operation without extra switching modes.
Which neck is more comfortable for fast playing?
The C-1 SLS has an ultra-thin C profile starting at 0.748" at the 1st fret, making it the slimmest option for hand fatigue reduction. The AM-6's Thin C profile measures 0.787" at the 1st fret, still comfortable but slightly thicker and potentially more forgiving for intermediate players.
Does either have vibrato?
The AM-6 includes a Gotoh Vintage 2-Point Tremolo for pitch modulation and expressive effects. The C-1 SLS uses a fixed Tune-O-Matic bridge, prioritizing tuning stability and sustain over vibrato effects.
