Frequently asked questions
Which guitar handles lower tunings better?
The Sunset-7 ET with its 27-inch baritone scale is purpose-built for extreme drop tunings and maintains articulate clarity in the low end. The C-1 FR-S at 25.5 inches is more suited to standard or modest drop tunings.
What's the main hardware difference?
The Sunset-7 ET uses an EverTune bridge for automatic intonation compensation across all seven strings. The C-1 FR-S features a Floyd Rose floating tremolo for pitch-bending effects and whammy control.
Are the pickup systems comparable?
Both use Fishman Fluence active pickups, but the Sunset-7 offers three voices via a blade switch, while the C-1 pairs a Fluence Modern Ceramic bridge pickup with a Sustainiac neck pickup using mini switches for true single-coil access and infinite sustain.
What does B-stock mean on the C-1?
B-stock indicates cosmetic imperfections only—dents, scratches, or finish blemishes—while electronics, hardware, and playability remain identical to a new instrument, justifying the lower price tier.
