Frequently asked questions
What's the main hardware difference between these two?
The C-1 FR SLS Elite features a Floyd Rose 1500 Series locking bridge and nut for whammy techniques and pitch-dive capability. The Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S uses a TonePros TOM bridge with tailpiece and locking tuners—no whammy system, but stable fixed tuning for sustain-focused playing.
How do the scales and neck profiles compare?
The C-1 FR SLS Elite has a 25.5" scale with an ultra-thin neck starting at .748" at the 1st fret. The Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S extends to 26.5" with a slightly thicker .787" at the 1st fret, suited for lower tunings and extended passages.
What pickup differences define their tones?
The C-1 FR SLS Elite uses dual Fishman Fluence pickups (ceramic bridge, alnico neck) with push-pull voice-shaping controls for modern articulation. The Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S pairs a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB bridge with a Sustainiac neck pickup and dedicated harmonic mode switches for expressive feedback and sustain effects.
Which is better for aggressive metal and drop tunings?
The Kenny Hickey Solo-6 EX S's extended 26.5" scale and mahogany body suit lower tunings and focused midrange aggression. The C-1 FR SLS Elite excels at modern articulation and whammy-based techniques but works well at standard to mid-drop tunings.
