Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference?
The C-1 FR S emphasizes articulate high-end with infinite sustain via Sustainiac technology, while the C-7 FR delivers punchy midrange aggression with controlled highs across seven strings. The C-7 is tuned for raw metal power; the C-1 for textural complexity.
Which is better for drop tunings and low-end playing?
The C-7 FR with its seven-string configuration and 26.5" scale is purpose-built for extended lower range and drop tunings. The C-1 FR S is limited to standard six-string tuning.
Are the neck profiles identical?
Both feature the Ultra Thin 'C' neck at 0.748" first fret and 0.787" at 12th fret with 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard, so neck geometry and playability feel nearly identical between the two.
What's the Sustainiac and is it worth the difference?
The Sustainiac neck pickup on the C-1 FR S allows indefinite note sustain and harmonic manipulation via push-pull controls—a unique feature for ambient, experimental, or progressive layering that the C-7 FR does not offer.
