Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for jazz and blues?
The Corsair 2020 is purpose-built for jazz and blues, featuring a semi-hollow body that produces the warm, resonant tone those genres demand. The Rob Scallon C-1, designed for progressive and metal, lacks the tonal warmth and body resonance needed for traditional jazz.
Which has better upper-fret access?
The Rob Scallon C-1 features neck-thru construction with Ultra Access design, allowing seamless access to all 24 jumbo frets. The Corsair 2020 uses a set-in neck design, which is more traditional but provides less upper-fret comfort.
How do the pickups differ?
Both use Schecter Diamond '78 humbuckers, but the Corsair includes coil-split push-pull controls for articulate single-coil textures in addition to full humbucker tones. The Rob Scallon has a fixed bridge-model pickup spec with volume and push-pull tone controls, optimized for metal and progressive clarity.
What scale length does each guitar use?
The Corsair 2020 uses a 24.75" scale length, typical for semi-hollow jazz guitars and providing slightly warmer, shorter sustain. The Rob Scallon C-1 uses a 25.5" scale length, standard for solid-body guitars and delivering extended sustain and tighter response.
