Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings and djent?
The C-7 Multiscale is purpose-built for extended-range and djent playing. Its 27" bass-side scale length to 25.5" treble-side multiscale design maintains balanced tension and intonation across seven strings even in extreme tunings. The Tao-6 is a standard 6-string at 25.5" scale, unsuited for djent applications.
What's the key playability difference between these necks?
Both have ultra-thin profiles (19mm at 1st fret, 20mm at 12th), but the C-7 uses a "C" profile while the Tao-6 uses a "U" profile—a subtle difference in hand-feel preference. The C-7 is neck-through for maximum sustain; the Tao-6 is bolt-on, which many players find slightly more responsive and lighter.
How do the pickup systems differ for tone?
The C-7 features Fishman Fluence Modern pickups (ceramic bridge, alnico neck) with switchable voices for articulate, high-output metal tones. The Tao-6 uses Schecter USA Colossus and Chaosbreaker pickups with a coil-split push-pull that ranges from single-coil snap to thick humbucking—better suited to progressive rock and hard rock versatility.
Is there a left-handed option for the C-7?
The product information provided only lists the C-7 in a right-handed configuration. The Tao-6 is explicitly available in left-handed (LH) as shown here. Confirm availability with the store if you need a left-handed 7-string.
