Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal and progressive rock?
The Rob Scallon C-1 is purpose-built for metal and progressive genres. Its 24 jumbo frets, neck-thru construction, carbon fiber reinforcement, and hardtail bridge deliver the speed, precision, and sustain those styles demand. The Corsair is not ideal for metal.

The Corsair has 22 medium frets on a 14-inch radius ebony board, suited for smooth chording and moderate lead work. The Rob Scallon has 24 jumbo frets on a 14-inch radius board, optimized for fast single-note passages and complex lead techniques.
