Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings and heavy metal?
The C-1 Silver Mountain BM is specifically engineered for drop tunings with its 25.5" scale and aggressive Sonic Seducer pickups designed to cut through dense mixes. The Ultra's 24.75" scale and warmer tone voice make it less ideal for heavy, downtuned styles.
Which one should I choose for jazz or blues?
The Ultra is the clear choice, featuring warm Sunset Strip and Pasadena pickups with impressive sustain and a balanced tone that suits traditional jazz and blues playing. The C-1's aggressive character and tight low end are voiced for metal rather than these genres.
What is the practical difference between 22 and 24 frets?
The C-1's 24 X-Jumbo frets provide two additional semitones and better access to very high notes, useful for lead-heavy metal and progressive styles. The Ultra's 22 frets are standard for rock and blues players and reduce potential fret crowding on the fingerboard.
Are the neck profiles and playability similar?
Both guitars feature identical thin 'C' profiles (.787" at 1st fret, .866" at 12th) and 14" fretboard radius, so they feel very similar in hand. The main differences are the C-1's 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets versus the Ultra's 22 X-Jumbo frets and the slightly different scale lengths.
