Frequently asked questions
What tuning range can each handle?
The PT EX's 27-inch baritone scale accommodates extreme drop tunings (A, G, F, and lower) comfortably. The C-1's standard 25.5-inch scale handles drop D, drop C, and Drop B with proper setup, but isn't optimized for extreme sub-standard tunings.
Which guitar has more tonal flexibility?
The C-1 Exotic offers more immediate tonal range through its 2-way coil split toggle, letting you switch between thick humbuckers and articulate single-coil voicings on the fly. The PT EX focuses on refined deep tones optimized for metal and hard rock but lacks coil splitting.
Are both comfortable for long playing sessions?
Both feature thin 'C' neck profiles designed for ergonomics. The C-1's standard 25.5-inch scale may feel more familiar and cause less hand stretch, while the PT EX's longer 27-inch scale requires slightly more reach but still prioritizes comfortable playability for baritone standards.
What's the visual difference?
The PT EX features Dorian Gray finish for a sophisticated, understated look. The C-1 showcases spalted maple with Satin Natural Vintage Burst for striking visual character that resists fingerprints through its satin coating.
