Frequently asked questions
Which guitar goes lower in tuning?
The C-7 Blackjack's 7-string design and 26.5" scale length extend lower than the 6-string Reaper-6. However, the Reaper-6 supports drop tunings and can reach very low frequencies on its lowest string.
What's the Sustainiac on the Reaper-6 and do I need it?
The Sustainiac neck pickup generates infinite sustain and allows pitch manipulation without volume or amp control, creating ambient textures and feedback-like tones. It's powerful for experimental players but adds complexity; the C-7 is simpler if you want straightforward metal tone.
How do the bridges differ in live performance?
The Floyd Rose 1500 on the Reaper-6 enables complex pitch bends and divebombs but requires more maintenance and tuning care. The TonePros TOM on the C-7 is more stable and requires less adjustment, making it faster for live setups.
Which has faster playability for technical metal?
Both feature thin 'C' neck profiles, 24 X-jumbo frets, and Ultra Access upper fret design. The Reaper-6's carbon fiber reinforcement adds micro-stability; the C-7's compound 12"-16" radius is slightly more forgiving across the entire fretboard.
