Frequently asked questions
What's the main tone difference between these guitars?
The C-1 Standard emphasizes warm midrange and balanced sustain through its mahogany body and hardtail bridge, while the C-6 FR Deluxe delivers modern, articulate clarity optimized for aggressive frequencies. Both are metal-capable, but the C-1 leans classic and the C-6 leans contemporary.
Why choose a Floyd Rose tremolo over a hardtail bridge?
A Floyd Rose enables expressive vibrato, dive bombs, and sustained pitch bends—essential for progressive and modern metal. A hardtail stays in tune longer and requires no maintenance, suiting players who want reliability over effects.
Is the B-stock C-6 a real value, and what does B-stock mean?
B-stock means the guitar has cosmetic damage (scratches, scuffs) but full structural and tonal integrity. For intermediate-to-pro players accepting minor appearance wear, it represents genuine savings on an otherwise identical Deluxe model.
Which guitar handles drop tunings better?
The C-6 FR Deluxe is marketed specifically for drop tunings and its narrower fret spacing and modern voiced pickups suit that application. The C-1 Standard handles drop tunings adequately but isn't optimized for them.
