Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two guitars?
The C-1 SLS is a 6-string with neck-thru construction and high-end Fishman Fluence pickups. The AM-7 is a 7-string with a longer 26.5" scale and USA-made Schecter pickups voiced for extended range. Pick the 7-string only if you need that extra low string.
Which is better for metal and hard rock?
Both excel at metal, but the C-1 SLS suits traditional tuning-based metal and hard rock, while the AM-7 is purpose-built for djent, progressive metal, and extreme drop tunings where that seventh string matters.
How do the necks compare?
The C-1 has a slightly thinner first-fret profile (0.748" vs 0.787") and is optimized for 6-string speed. The AM-7's thin 'C' profile is slightly thicker but designed to balance comfort across seven strings and a longer 26.5" scale.
What about pickups and tone?
The C-1 uses dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups with coil-splitting for versatile high-output tones. The AM-7 uses USA-made Schecter pickups voiced specifically to maintain clarity and articulation across the extended 7-string range, with no coil-splitting.
