Frequently asked questions
Why is the C-7 scale length (26.5 inches) longer than the C-6 (25.5 inches)?
The extra 1 inch on the C-7 maintains proper string tension and tuning stability across all seven strings, especially the lower B string. A longer scale prevents the added low strings from becoming too loose or muddy.
Which guitar suits jazz or blues playing?
Neither is recommended for jazz or traditional blues. The C-6 LH focuses on bright, modern cutting tones suited to rock and metal, while the C-7 is voiced specifically for articulate midrange and tight lows optimized for heavy and progressive styles, not the warm, smooth character jazz and blues typically require.
What's the real difference in fretboard radius between these models?
The C-6 has a 14-inch radius (355mm), which is slightly more curved and beginner-friendly for barre chords and smooth play. The C-7's 16-inch radius is flatter, making fast single-note passages and string-skipping easier for advanced players, but it can feel slightly less forgiving when learning.
Are the pickups identical on both models?
Both use Schecter Diamond Plus pickups in bridge and neck positions, but the C-7's pickup voicing is specifically tuned for the tonal demands of seven-string metal and progressive music, emphasizing articulate mids and tight lows. The C-6's pickups prioritize versatility from vintage warmth to modern clarity across a broader genre range.
