Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for traditional heavy metal and hard rock?
The Damien-6 FR is optimized for this with its mahogany body and high-output Heretic pickups that deliver the thick midrange and aggressive character traditional metal demands. The C-6 FR Deluxe's modern, articulate tone is better suited to contemporary and progressive metal.
What's the difference in neck feel between these two?
Both feature Thin 'C' profiles and 25.5" scales, but the Damien-6 FR measures 0.787" at the 1st fret versus the C-6 FR Deluxe's 20mm (approximately 0.787"), making them virtually identical. The key difference is fret size: Damien-6 FR uses X-jumbo frets while C-6 FR Deluxe uses Narrow X-Jumbo frets, giving the C-6 more compact spacing for technical playing.
Are these B-stock units functionally equivalent to new?
Yes. B-stock typically means cosmetic imperfections only—both play and sound excellent. The C-6 FR Deluxe specifically notes scratches and scuffs on the body, while the Damien-6 FR details are not specified, but both offer full functionality at reduced prices.
Which is better for drop tunings?
The C-6 FR Deluxe is explicitly recommended for drop tunings due to its modern articulate voice and clarity at lower frequencies. The Damien-6 FR's thick midrange can work in drop tunings but may sound less defined in lower registers compared to the C-6's more balanced tone curve.
