Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for standard tuning rock and metal?
The C-6 FR is ideal for standard tuning with its Floyd Rose vibrato system providing professional whammy bar control. The C-7 is designed around extended tunings and drop tuning styles, making it less optimal for traditional rock.
What's the main playability difference between these two?
Both share the thin 'C' neck shape and 24 frets, but the C-7 has a wider nut (1.889" vs 1.625") and longer 26.5" scale to accommodate the seventh string comfortably. The C-6 uses a shorter 25.5" scale more familiar to standard guitar players.
Are the pickups the same in both guitars?
Yes, both feature dual Schecter Diamond Plus humbucking pickups with over-wound coils and ceramic magnets. The C-7 is described as higher-output and more aggressive due to its bridge design and longer scale, not the pickups.
Which bridge system is more stable for tuning?
The C-6's Floyd Rose with locking nut offers superior tuning stability when using the vibrato. The C-7's Tune-O-Matic with string-through-body is stable for standard playing but lacks vibrato functionality.
