Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for tuning stability during live performance?
The C-1 SLS Custom uses a hardtail bridge with Schecter locking tuners, providing maximum tuning stability for long sets without vibrato-induced pitch drift. The Hellraiser C-1 FR S includes a Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge with locking nut, which also maintains tuning well but requires more technical maintenance and setup than a hardtail.
What is the key difference in pickup functionality?
The C-1 SLS Custom features Fishman Fluence Modern pickups with push-pull coil-split controls for extensive tonal shaping. The Hellraiser C-1 FR S uses EMG 81 and Sustainiac pickups with coil-tapping; the Sustainiac uniquely enables infinite sustain and feedback control, unavailable on the SLS Custom.
Which guitar suits extended range and experimental lead playing?
The Hellraiser C-1 FR S is specifically designed for extended technique with its Sustainiac neck pickup, which produces harmonic feedback and infinite sustain ideal for progressive metal. The C-1 SLS Custom is more versatile across genres but does not include Sustainiac functionality.
Who should buy each guitar?
Right-handed players prioritizing tuning stability and tonal flexibility should choose the C-1 SLS Custom. Left-handed players seeking a professional factory-setup instrument with Floyd Rose vibrato and Sustainiac sustain should choose the Hellraiser C-1 FR S.
