Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two guitars?
The PT-7 MS is a 7-string multiscale with fanned frets designed for extended-range tunings, while the C-1 LH is a traditional 6-string left-handed instrument. The PT-7 MS suits progressive metal players needing drop tunings; the C-1 LH is purpose-built for left-handed players across metal and hard rock.
Can a right-handed player use the C-1 LH?
The C-1 LH is specifically configured as a left-handed instrument with all hardware mirrored for left-handed play. A right-handed player would find it ergonomically unsuitable.
How do the pickups differ in tone and flexibility?
The PT-7 MS features a Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern-7 with a 3-way toggle offering both high-output active and organic passive voices. The C-1 LH uses dual EMG 81/89 active pickups with a push-pull tone control for broader sonic palette. The Fishman provides genuine voice switching; the EMGs offer passive tone adjustment.
Which guitar has better sustain and resonance?
The C-1 LH's neck-thru mahogany construction is specifically praised for warm resonance and extended sustain. The PT-7 MS prioritizes modern articulate attack and tight lows over maximum sustain.
