Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for seven-string tunings?
The Banshee Mach-7 LH is a dedicated seven-string with a 26.5" extended scale designed specifically for extended-range voicings. The C-1 FR-S is a traditional six-string and cannot accommodate seven-string tuning.
Are these guitars suitable for left-handed players?
The Banshee Mach-7 LH is explicitly built for left-handed players. The C-1 FR-S B-Stock listing does not indicate left-handed configuration, suggesting it is right-handed only.
Which pickup system offers more tonal versatility in live performance?
The C-1 FR-S features Fishman Fluence pickups with dedicated mini switches for voice selection and push-pull tone control for alternate voices, enabling quick tonal changes mid-set. The Banshee Mach-7 LH uses Lundgren M7 pickups with a three-way switch and push-pull tone control, offering simpler switching but less voice variation.
What is the practical difference in neck profile between these two?
The Banshee Mach-7 LH has an ultra-thin "U" profile (.748" to .787") for rapid position shifts and upper-fret access on seven strings. The C-1 FR-S uses a thinner "C" profile (20mm to 22mm) designed to reduce hand fatigue during long gigs, suited to six-string playing.
