Frequently asked questions
Which is better for funk and rock?
Both excel in funk and rock. The Model-T Session is optimized for four-string work in these genres with its tight low end and punchy mids. The C-5 GT adds five-string versatility and deeper fundamentals if you want extended range, but requires proficiency on five strings.
What's the scale-length difference and why does it matter?
The Model-T Session has a 34" scale; the C-5 GT has a 35" scale. The longer 35" scale tightens low-end articulation and extends the lowest playable notes on the fifth string, crucial for progressive and extended-range bass. The 34" scale is lighter on hand tension and traditional.
Is the C-5 GT really B-stock, and does that affect sound?
Yes, the C-5 GT is B-stock, meaning it is unplayed with only minor cosmetic wear near the knobs. B-stock does not affect tone or playability—it is an excellent value option. The Model-T Session is new with full manufacturer warranty and no cosmetic issues.
Which neck shape is faster for soloing and technique?
Both feature thin 'C'-shaped neck profiles engineered for speed. The Model-T Session's thinner profile (0.826" at fret 1) is marginally faster, while the C-5 GT's profile (0.787" at fret 1) is slightly slimmer. The difference is negligible; player preference and hand size matter more.
