Frequently asked questions
Which guitar suits fingerstyle better?
The Regulo Caro-7 is purpose-built for fingerstyle work, with its Grand Auditorium body providing balanced projection and articulate harmonic definition. The RS-1000 is more balanced across strumming and picking styles, making it more versatile but not fingerstyle-optimized.
How do the necks differ in construction?
The RS-1000 uses a set-neck mahogany design that enhances tonal resonance, while the Caro-7 employs hard rock maple for superior seasonal stability and resistance to humidity-related movement. Both share a thin 'C' profile and 25.5" scale length.
What are the key differences in electronics?
The RS-1000 uses Fishman Matrix Infinity EQ with soundhole-mounted controls and responsive presence adjustment. The Caro-7 features Fishman Presys II with an onboard tuner, phase control, and independent bass/treble adjustment—more controls for tone-shaping in live venues.
Which has more frets and does that matter?
The RS-1000 has 21 medium frets versus the Caro-7's 20, a minor difference unlikely to affect most players. Both support upper-register work comfortably at the intermediate to professional skill level.
