Frequently asked questions
Which guitar has better upper-fret access?
The C-1 Standard Plus features an Ultra Access double cutaway body designed specifically for easier upper-fret reach, while the Damien-6 uses a traditional single-cutaway design. Both have slim 'C' profile necks, but the C-1's body shape wins for high-fret work.
What's the main difference in pickup flexibility?
The Damien-6 includes a volume/tone push-pull coil-split control that expands its sonic range beyond standard switching. The C-1 Standard Plus uses a traditional 3-way pickup selector without coil-split, offering simpler, more straightforward tone selection.
How do the necks compare for comfort?
Both use slim 'C' profile necks; the Damien-6 measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, while the C-1 Standard Plus measures 20 mm and 22 mm respectively. The roasted maple neck on the C-1 offers slightly enhanced stability, while both provide fast, fatigue-free playing.
Which finish is more practical?
The Damien-6's satin black finish resists fingerprints, while the C-1 Standard Plus's Purple Burst showcases figured maple aesthetics but may show marks more readily. Choice depends on whether you prioritize low-maintenance appearance or visual pop.
