Frequently asked questions
Which guitar handles drop tunings better?
The C-6 FR Deluxe with its Floyd Rose bridge is designed for drop tunings and maintains intonation through the locking tremolo system. The C-1 Standard's hardtail is stable but less suited to aggressive alternate tunings.
What's the difference in tone between these pickups?
The C-1's Diamond Standard humbuckers emphasize warm, balanced midrange with natural sustain. The C-6's Diamond Plus pickups are brighter, more articulate, and higher-output—better for modern metal clarity.
Why is the C-6 FR listed as B-stock?
The C-6 FR is a cosmetic second—it has scratches and scuffs on the body but plays and sounds excellent, justifying the lower price for players who prioritize function over appearance.
Which neck feels faster?
Both feature Thin 'C' profiles and 14" fretboard radius for responsive lead work. The C-6 FR's Narrow X-Jumbo frets are slightly taller and narrower, offering marginally faster access; the C-1's jumbo frets are more traditional.
