Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal and hard rock?
The C-1 SLS Custom is optimized for metal and hard rock with its high-output bridge Fishman pickup, tight neck-thru construction, and carbon fiber reinforcement. The Stargazer-6 LH's warm vintage pickups are voiced more toward blues and classic rock.
Is the Stargazer-6 LH available for right-handed players?
Based on the description provided, the Stargazer-6 LH is specifically a left-handed model. No right-handed version information is available for comparison.
What's the practical difference between their neck profiles?
The C-1 SLS is ultra-thin at 0.748" at the first fret, while the Stargazer-6 LH measures 0.787" at the first fret—both are slim modern profiles, but the C-1 SLS is noticeably slimmer for players with smaller hands or who prefer minimal neck feel.
Why does the C-1 SLS cost the same as the Stargazer-6 LH if it has more advanced features?
The C-1 SLS is B-stock, meaning it has cosmetic imperfections but identical specifications to new stock. This discount pricing reflects the cosmetic condition, not feature differences.
