Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for playing in drop-D or lower tunings?
The C-VI's 30" extended scale provides tighter, more articulate low-end response at very low tunings compared to the C-1 FR's standard 25.5" scale. The longer scale maintains string tension and clarity in extreme downtunings.
Can I use a whammy bar on both guitars?
Only the C-1 FR LH includes a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo system for dive bombs and pitch effects. The C-VI has a hardtail bridge with no tremolo functionality.
Are there any differences in pickups or active electronics?
Both feature identical EMG 81TW bridge and EMG 89R neck active pickups. The C-1 FR includes a single push-pull coil split, while the C-VI adds dual push-pull volume controls plus a master tone control for more tonal control options.
Which is better for a left-handed player?
The C-1 FR LH is specifically built for left-handed players. The C-VI is right-handed only, making it unsuitable for southpaw guitarists.
