Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal?
Both handle metal well, but the Demon-6 FR-S is engineered specifically for metal with its high-output active bridge pickup and Floyd Rose Special tremolo designed for extreme tuning stability. The C-1 Exotic is more versatile across rock, metal, and fusion due to its passive pickups.
What's the main tremolo difference?
The C-1 Exotic uses a Wilkinson WVS50IIK system that balances modulation and pitch effects. The Demon-6 FR-S has a Floyd Rose Special Double Locking Tremolo with a locking nut, engineered to withstand aggressive tremolo abuse without losing tuning stability.
Are the neck profiles similar?
Both feature thin 'C'-shaped necks comfortable for extended play. The C-1 measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, while the Demon-6 FR-S measures 20mm at the 1st fret and 22mm at the 12th fret (approximately 0.787" and 0.866" respectively), making them functionally identical.
Why would I choose passive over active pickups?
The C-1 Exotic's passive Diamond '78 pickups provide warmer, more natural midrange clarity and require no battery maintenance, making them ideal for studio sessions and players who want tonal flexibility. Active pickups like the Demon-6 FR-S offer higher output and punchier articulation but need battery replacement periodically.
