Frequently asked questions
Which guitar has better sustain capability?
The C-1 FR-S edges ahead due to its thru-neck construction and dual Sustainiac system, delivering sustained harmonic complexity. The Synyster offers infinite sustain through its neck-position Sustainiac but relies on a bolt-on mahogany body for response rather than sustain.
Are both guitars suitable for aggressive tremolo use?
Yes. Both feature Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo systems designed for deep divebombs and aggressive bending. The C-1 adds TonePros M-Series locking tuners for extra intonation stability during extended tremolo sessions.
Which is better for pure metal tone versus progressive applications?
The Synyster Custom-S excels at direct metal aggression with its signature bridge humbucker and responsive mahogany body. The C-1 FR-S suits progressive and extended-range work better, offering tonal sophistication and harmonic experimentation through its multi-ply thru-neck and dual Sustainiac design.
How do the neck profiles compare?
Both feature ultra-thin C-shaped necks with carbon fiber reinforcement and 24 X-Jumbo frets. The C-1 specifies exact measurements (19mm at 1st fret, 20mm at 12th) and adds a compound 12-16 inch radius with ultra access heel carve for easier upper-fret reach.
