Frequently asked questions
What's the main playability difference?
The KM-7 has an ultra-thin neck (0.748" at fret 1) optimized for 7-string speed across extended range, while the C-1 uses a slightly thicker C profile (20mm) tuned for 6-string comfort and open-hand positions. Both use 12"-16" compound radius and X-jumbo frets.
Can the C-1 handle low tunings like the KM-7?
The C-1 is a 6-string at 25.5" scale, so it can handle drop tunings but won't access the extra low range of the 7-string KM-7. The 7-string is purpose-built for extended-range metal.
Which guitar is better for whammy-bar work?
The C-1 FR-S with its Floyd Rose 1500 Series is designed for aggressive tremolo abuse. The KM-7 uses a Hipshot Hardtail bridge for tuning stability without tremolo functionality.
Are the pickup sets equally suited to modern metal?
Both excel in metal but serve different roles: the KM-7's Lundgren M7 pickups are voiced for 7-string articulation and harmonic clarity, while the C-1's Fishman Fluence Modern bridge humbucker adds a Sustainiac neck pickup for feedback control and ambient textures alongside high-gain aggression.
