What are the key tonal differences?
The Damien-6 LH uses Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups for deep, growling lows and sharp highs with warm, rich character. The C-1 Standard Plus uses Schecter Richter-6 humbuckers for a full-bodied, warm midrange tone with a tight low end and thick humbucker character.
