Frequently asked questions
Why does the C-7 cost more if both are budget tier?
The C-7 Deluxe LH includes a seventh string, longer scale length, and wider nut—all premium features that increase manufacturing cost. Left-handed configuration also reduces production volume, affecting pricing relative to standard right-handed models.
Can I play metal on the Omen-6?
Yes. The Omen-6 is explicitly listed as suitable for metal with its articulate attack and solid sustain. However, it lacks the extended low-end range and high-output character of a dedicated seven-string metal guitar.
What is the main playability difference between these two?
The C-7 Deluxe LH has a 1" longer scale (26.5" vs 25.5"), wider nut (1.889" vs 1.653"), and slightly flatter fretboard radius (16" vs 14"), making it require more finger stretch but offering tighter string spacing suited to seven-string technique.
Are the pickups different?
Both use identical Schecter Diamond Plus pickups in neck and bridge positions. The tonal difference comes from the body scale, nut width, and overall instrument voicing rather than pickup hardware.
