Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in string count and scale?
The C-6 FR is a traditional six-string guitar with a 25.5" scale, while the C-7 Deluxe has seven strings and a longer 26.5" scale designed specifically for extended-range and drop tuning work. The longer scale helps maintain string tension and clarity on the lower seventh string.
Which bridge system is better for my playing style?
The C-6 FR has a Floyd Rose licensed tremolo, allowing you to bend pitches and create expressive effects like vibrato and dive bombs. The C-7 has a Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body construction, which prioritizes tuning stability and sustain without tremolo movement—ideal for aggressive rhythm work and extended-range tunings.
Am I ready for a seven-string guitar, or should I start with six?
Both are intermediate-to-professional level guitars. If you're experienced with standard six-string metal and want to explore djent or progressive extended-range music, the C-7 is the natural step up. If you play traditional metal, hard rock, or progressive and want dynamic pitch control, the C-6 FR is the better fit.
How do the pickups and tone shaping compare?
Both use identical Schecter Diamond Plus pickups and similar three-way switching. The main tonal difference comes from scale length and bridge construction: the C-6 FR's shorter scale and Floyd Rose system emphasizes articulate speed and expressive bending, while the C-7's longer scale and fixed bridge produces a focused, tight low end suited for dropped tunings.
