Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference between these two?
The PT uses dual Diamond SuperRock-II pickups in an alder body for punchy, articulate highs and sustained lows suited to classic and alternative rock. The C-1 uses Hellfire humbuckers in a mahogany body for tight, articulate high-gain tones optimized for modern metal and drop tunings.
Which guitar handles drop tunings better?
The C-1 is specifically designed for drop tunings, with a 24-fret mahogany body, locking tuners, and a TonePros bridge engineered for tuning stability under tension. The PT is not listed as suitable for extended drop-tuning applications.
Are the neck profiles different?
Both feature Schecter's Thin 'C' profile and 25.5" scale length. The PT measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th; the C-1 measures 20 mm (0.787") at the 1st fret and 22 mm (0.866") at the 12th—effectively identical in comfort and speed.
Why is the C-1 listed as 'Open Box'?
The C-1 is an open-box item, meaning it has been displayed or previously returned but is in full working condition with all original hardware and specifications intact, typically offered at a slight discount.
