Frequently asked questions
Which is better for metal?
Both suit metal, but the Demon-6 FR-S edges ahead with its high-output active bridge pickup and Floyd Rose locking tremolo, which handles extreme dive-bomb effects without tuning drift. The C-1 Exotic also plays metal well via its Diamond '78 pickups and articulate mids, but its Wilkinson tremolo is less aggressive-play oriented.
What's the practical difference in tremolo systems?
The Wilkinson WVS50IIK (C-1) is simpler, smoother, and requires less maintenance. The Floyd Rose Special (Demon-6) locks tuning rock-solid even after extreme pitch effects, making it ideal for prog and modern metal but demands more setup knowledge and adjustment skill.
Why choose C-1 over Demon-6?
The C-1 Exotic offers B-stock savings, passive-pickup flexibility via coil splits for fusion and hard rock variety, and the spalted maple top adds visual appeal. It's also lighter-touch for players who don't need locking tremolo aggression.
What's the pickup difference?
C-1 Exotic has passive Schecter Diamond '78 pickups (articulate, vintage-voiced) with coil splits for tonal range. Demon-6 FR-S pairs an active Diamond bridge pickup (aggressive, high-output) with a Sustainiac neck pickup (infinite sustain for leads), requiring batteries but offering more modern aggression and harmonic effects.
