Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in string configuration and scale?
The C-7 Deluxe has seven strings with a 26.5" scale designed for extended range and drop tunings. The C-6 Plus is a traditional six-string with a 25.5" scale, the standard for most electric guitars.
Which guitar is better for someone learning extended-range playing?
The C-7 Deluxe is purpose-built for seven-string work with a nut and scale length optimized for that configuration. The C-6 Plus works best if you want to stay within standard six-string tuning.
How do the fretboard radii differ and what does that mean for playability?
The C-7 has a 16" radius while the C-6 Plus has a 14" radius. The tighter 14" radius on the C-6 Plus allows slightly faster, flatter playing for lead work, while the 16" on the C-7 accommodates the wider seven-string spacing.
Are these guitars suitable for gigging and studio work?
Both are built for intermediate to professional players and gigging. The C-6 Plus is explicitly noted for studio sessions and gigging with its contoured body design, while the C-7 Deluxe excels in progressive and metal contexts where extended range is needed.
