Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two?
The C-7 Deluxe is a seven-string guitar with a 26.5" scale built for extended-range tunings, while the C-6 Plus is a traditional six-string with a 25.5" scale. The C-7 uses a 1.889" nut; the C-6 Plus uses a 1.653" nut to accommodate six strings.
Which is better for beginners?
The C-6 Plus is more beginner-friendly since six-string standard tuning is the industry norm for learning. The C-7 Deluxe requires intermediate to advanced technique due to the extra string and extended-range setup.
How do the fretboard radii differ and why?
The C-7 Deluxe has a 16" radius while the C-6 Plus has a 14" radius. The slightly flatter C-6 radius suits traditional six-string bending and playing, while the C-7's radius accommodates the wider string spacing of a seven-string configuration.
Are the neck profiles identical?
Both use Schecter's thin C-profile at .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth fret, but the C-7 Deluxe's neck is engineered wider to support seven strings, while the C-6 Plus's neck is optimized for six-string playing.
