Frequently asked questions
What's the main fretboard difference between these two?
The C-1 Silver Mountain has 24 X-Jumbo frets; the Ultra has 22 X-Jumbo frets. The C-1 offers greater upper-fret range for extended techniques, while the 22-fret Ultra is more traditionally proportioned for standard rock and blues bending.
Why does the Ultra mention a 24.75-inch scale while the C-1 doesn't list one?
The Ultra explicitly states its 24.75-inch scale for clarity on classic-rock tuning stability. The C-1 specification provided does not include scale length in the available data, though both share similar mahogany set-neck construction.
Which guitar handles blues better?
The Ultra is explicitly designed for blues with warm lows and natural compression, and is listed as ideal for blues. The C-1 Silver Mountain is optimized for metal and progressive styles, making it less ideal for blues traditions.
Is the B-stock C-1 as good as a new one?
Yes—B-stock means minor cosmetic imperfections only; all electronics, hardware, and playability specs are identical to a new C-1 Silver Mountain at a lower price.
