Frequently asked questions
What's the practical difference between bolt-on and set-neck construction here?
The Model-T's bolt-on design transmits string vibration more directly to the body, favoring immediate articulate attack and resonance preferred in session work. The C-4 GT's set-neck with carbon fiber reinforcement prioritizes rock-solid stability and sustain, better suited to complex progressive arrangements and studio layering.
How do the fretboards compare for reach and playability?
Both use 34-inch scale length, but the Model-T has 22 Narrow X-Jumbo frets on a 12-inch radius, while the C-4 GT offers 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16-inch radius. The C-4 GT's extra two frets and flatter radius give more reach and are better for advanced techniques; the Model-T's tighter radius favors faster position shifts.
What's the battery and power difference?
The Model-T uses an 18-volt battery system for stronger active signal output, while the C-4 GT uses a 9-volt clip-in battery. The 18-volt system in the Model-T provides more headroom and output level, while the 9-volt in the C-4 GT is standard and sufficient for studio and gigging applications.
Is the C-4 GT's B-stock status a significant issue?
This C-4 GT is described as unplayed with only minor cosmetic marks on the back and side, meaning the instrument is fully functional and in excellent condition. B-stock pricing offers genuine savings without functional compromise, though cosmetic appearance may vary slightly from a new unit.
