Frequently asked questions
What is multiscale design, and why does the Damien-7 use it?
Multiscale (fan-fret) design uses different scale lengths across the strings, ranging from 25.5" on the high strings to 27" on the low 7th string. This maintains consistent string tension and intonation when playing extended-range instruments in drop tunings, preventing overly slack or stiff strings.
Can I play drop tunings on the C-1 Exotic?
The C-1 Exotic's 25.5" fixed scale and standard 6-string design support drop tunings, but less effectively than the Damien-7's multiscale geometry. It excels in standard, half-step-down, or full-step-down tunings for rock and metal.
Why does the Damien-7 lack tremolo while the C-1 has a Wilkinson system?
The Damien-7's fixed bridge maximizes intonation stability and sustain across seven strings and extreme tunings—critical for djent clarity. The C-1's Wilkinson tremolo adds expressiveness for rock and fusion styles that benefit from dive-bombs and modulation effects.
How do the pickup sets differ in flexibility?
The Damien-7's coil-split toggles between humbucker and single-coil textures within high-gain contexts. The C-1's dual-volume and dual-tone controls with 2-way coil-split offer broader mid-range shaping and sustain adjustment, suiting diverse rock and fusion tones.
