Frequently asked questions
Which guitar handles standard tuning better?
The C-1 Exotic with its 25.5-inch scale is optimized for standard and drop-D/drop-C tunings. The PT EX's 27-inch baritone scale is engineered for extreme drops (drop-A and lower) and will feel looser in standard tuning, though playable.
Can I use the C-1 Exotic for djent and modern metal?
Yes, the C-1 works for metal, but the PT EX Baritone is purpose-built for djent's low-end articulation and high-output bridge pickup. The C-1 excels at fusion and versatile rock-metal blend rather than specialized extended-range heaviness.
What's the difference in playability between the necks?
Both feature thin C-shaped necks and 22-24 extra-jumbo frets. The PT EX neck is reinforced with two carbon fiber rods, the C-1 with carbon fiber rods. Both are fast; the PT EX feels more rigid due to double reinforcement. The C-1 includes locking tuners for dive-bomb stability.
Are the B-stock conditions acceptable?
PT EX has minor cosmetic marks with no playability impact. C-1 Exotic has a minor headstock crack noted as cosmetic and structurally sound. Both are priced lower than new and play identically to mint units.
